Batteries, Volume 10, Issue 4

April 2024 - 31 articles

Cover Story: As batteries contain a number of potentially harmful components, and thermal-runaway-induced battery incidents involve complex and potentially multistage fume emissions (containing both gas and particles), the potential effects of fire run-off waters on the environment should be assessed carefully. The experiments presented in this paper focus on analyzing the composition of run-off waters used to spray NMC Li-ion modules under thermal runaway, while the article as a whole highlights that water used for firefighting is likely to contain many metals, including Ni, Mn, Co, Li, and Al, mixed with other carbonaceous species (e.g., soot and tarballs), and sometimes undecomposed solvents used in the electrolyte. The extrapolation of pollutant concentrations compared with PNEC values demonstrated that, for large-scale incidents, run-off water could be potentially hazardous to the environment. View this paper

Early Investigations on Electrolyte Mixing Issues in Large Flow Battery Tanks

  • Andrea Trovò,
  • Pablo A. Prieto-Díaz,
  • Nicolò Zatta,
  • Francesco Picano and
  • Massimo Guarnieri

Most investigations on flow batteries (FBs) make the assumption of perfectly mixed electrolytes inside the tanks without estimating their likelihood, while specific analyses are missing in the literature. This paper presents a pioneering investigatio...
