Lithium-ion battery fires generate intense heat and considerable amounts of gas and smoke. Although the emission of toxic gases can be a larger threat than the heat, the knowledge of such emissions is limited.
LIBs are often employed in applications where thousands of charge/discharge cycles are needed. Decades of intense research from scientists and engineers across the globe have been committed to developing battery technology.
If you happen to inhale battery smoke, seek treatment immediately and carry the battery with you for medical identification of the correct drug and dose. In order to clearly understand the cause of lithium-ion battery fire and possible ways to minimize the risk, they must be familiar with the function of the battery.
Our quantitative study of the emission gases from Li-ion battery fires covers a wide range of battery types. We found that commercial lithium-ion batteries can emit considerable amounts of HF during a fire and that the emission rates vary for different types of batteries and SOC levels.
The electrolyte in a lithium-ion battery is flammable and generally contains lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF 6) or other Li-salts containing fluorine. In the event of overheating the electrolyte will evaporate and eventually be vented out from the battery cells. The gases may or may not be ignited immediately.

These gases once in the atmosphere behave differently to smoke, often pooling at floor level due to their density. "Traditionally where fires and smoke are concerned one would stay low to avoid inhalation, doing so where lithium battery fires are concerned is likely to prove problematic," observes Dalus.
Comparing the characteristics of these batteries at the same size, the maximum voltages they can produce are 2.1V for lead-acid batteries, 1.2V for nickel-metal hydride batteries, and 1.25V for nickel-cadmium …
When a large amount of electrolyte evaporates when batteries are heated, this gas may not ignite immediately when released but may accumulate and result in gas explosions at later stages (Larsson et al., 2017). In the coming blogs, I will explore the toxic gases produced from the combustion of LIBs in detail so stay tuned for more! Reference List.
