Despite protection by battery safety mechanisms, fires originating from primary lithium and lithium-ion batteries are a relatively frequent occurrence. This paper reviews the hazards associated with primary lithium and lithium-ion cells, with an emphasis on the role played by chemistry at individual cell level.
The manufacturing process uses chemicals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and other hazardous materials. Workers may be exposed to these chemicals during the manufacturing process, which may lead to serious health problems. Lithium batteries are highly flammable and can catch fire or explode if not handled properly.
Hazards associated with lithium-ion cells can originate from to the following side reactions: Molten lithium can form in the event of overcharging metal lithium cells due to the low melting point of lithium metal (180 °C).
Lithium batteries are highly flammable and can catch fire or explode if not handled properly. This risk is especially high during the manufacturing process, as the batteries are often exposed to high temperatures, charging variances and pressure.
Lithium batteries are batteries that use lithium as an anode. This type of battery is also referred to as a lithium-ion battery and is most commonly used for electric vehicles and electronics.
Hazards involved in these process steps include: Material handling of charged lithium-ion cells (conveyors, stacker cranes, automated loading/unloading of trays of cells, removal of gas buildup during the Degas stage, Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems). Charging and discharging of lithium-ion cells.
