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.
Safety risks exist in end-of-life (EOL) lithium-ion battery management. Safety risk assessment of EOL lithium-ion battery activities is completed. Safety assessment uses risk analysis and multi-criteria decision making. Multiple stakeholders evaluate safety risks. Non-technical and battery design management are important for safety concerns.
Primary lithium batteries contain hazardous materials such as lithium metal and flammable solvents, which can lead to exothermic activity and runaway reactions above a defined temperature. Lithium-ion batteries operating outside the safe envelope can also lead to formation of lithium metal and thermal runaway.
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).
Specific risk control measures should be determined through site, task and activity risk assessments, with the handling of and work on batteries clearly changing the risk profile. Considerations include: Segregation of charging and any areas where work on or handling of lithium-ion batteries is undertaken.
For a fire risk assessment to be considered suitable and sufficient it must consider all significant risks of fire. Where lithium-ion batteries are concerned this should cover handling, storage, use and charging, as appropriate.
