Why do lithium-ion batteries catch fires?

Cathode Decomposition: At high temperatures, the cathode material (for example LiCoO₂) is decomposing and releasing oxygen which is driving the fire. To be very safe in the use of batteries and prevent such fires, there is a need to understand what led to such fires. Here are top 8 reasons why lithium-ion batteries catch fires. 1. Overcharging

What happens if a battery is exposed to abuse?

However, when the battery are exposed to abuse conditions, the temperature may exceed the normal operating range, and the active materials will decompose or react with each other, finally leading into thermal runaway. The electrochemical reaction process inside the LIB at high temperature is very complicated.

Are Lib failure events a risk factor for a fire?

The essential probability and impact of LIB failure events were not assessed in a fully quantitative manner due to limited incident statistics. The analysis of risk of LIB fire is still at early stages.
