The rising lithium metal batteries (LMBs) demonstrate a huge potential for improving the utilization duration of energy storage devices due to high theoretical energy density. Benefiting from the designs in the electrolyte, interface, and lithium host, several attempts have been made in the commercial application of LMBs. However, the application of lithium anode introduces additional safety risks and potential catastrophic accidents due to the high activity of lithium metal and dendrite during the electrochemical cycles. A comprehensive understanding of challenges and design issues on the safety hazards of LMBs in life cycle management is imperative for safe and commercial applications of LMBs. This paper first reviews emerging key safety issues and promising corresponding enhancements of LMBs during their production, utilization, and recycling. The wet air instability of lithium metal anode and gas production during activation have undoubtedly become the most intractable problems in LMBs production. It is necessary to use spraying technology to build a good protection layer upon lithium metal anode. Then, the growth of lithium dendrites poses a higher challenge to the utilization of LMBs, which requires the design of better electrolyte, anode skeleton, and other strategies as well as the prediction of LMBs life through big data and other methods. As for LMBs recovery, it is of great significance to choose the solvent to effectively control the consumption rate and temperature of highly reactive lithium metal powder. At last, further appeals and improvements are proposed for inspiring more related research to push forward the commercial use of LMBs.

“…Conventional BTMS cannot inhibit the spread of thermal runaway, but adding insulation materials to the battery module can effectively delay or even block its spread. Liu et al 28 investigated the thermal runaway behavior of the battery module both with various thermal insulation materials and without them, indicating that the thermal insulation materials can stop the thermal spread of the battery module. Torres-Castro et al 29 added heat shields between packs to prevent the spread of TR by reducing the thermal conduction and radiation.…”

The performance loss in extreme environmental temperatures and thermal runaway (TR) is a major drawback of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), raising significant concern. This study employed electrospinning to prepare flexible Al 2 SiO 5 nanofiber membranes for thermal insulation in batteries. These membranes exhibited low thermal conductivities of 0.03487, 0.03512, and 0.07384 W/(m•K) at −25, 25, and 800 °C, respectively, indicating that these membranes are excellent for thermal insulation. With the fiber membrane in place, the cell surface temperature changed slower toward ambient temperature than the control group. During charging and discharging at −25 °C, batteries wrapped with the fiber membrane exhibited a significantly higher capacity than the control group. In the case of thermal abuse, the battery module with fibers exhibited a 1608 s delay from the heating start to the TR onset compared to the battery module without membranes, and the time gap between safety valve rupture to TR onset was also 503 s more than the battery module without membranes. The fiber membranes have less effect on the surrounding cells than the control group, thus significantly improving battery safety.

“…The aerogel and its composite materials exhibited an insulation improvement of over 13% compared to fiber materials. 21 Yang et al discovered that the addition of a 1 mm thick silicon dioxide aerogel insulation layer (thermal conductivity of 0.020 W/(m•K)) between LIBs (37 Ah) significantly delayed the average thermal runaway propagation time to 386 s. Combined with the liquid cooling plate, it effectively prevents TR propagation. 22 dual-functional thermal management module by combining phase change materials (PCM) with silica aerogel felt.…”

The objective of this research was to develop a high-performance flexible silica aerogel composite for thermal insulation under high-temperature and thermal−force coupling conditions. Based on synthesis of flexible silica aerogels with methyltrimethoxysilane as the precursor, flexible silica aerogel composites were developed by wet-impregnating ceramic fiber felt. Morphology, microstructure, chemical structure, hydrophobicity, and compression performance evolutions of the flexible silica aerogels and their composite counterparts with temperature revealed that the resulting flexible silica aerogel samples have excellent stability at 900 °C. Flexible silica aerogel composites show 100 and 70% recovery with 50% strain after treatment at 500 and 900 °C, respectively. Thermal insulation performance of the flexible silica aerogel composites was comprehensively studied from different aspects, including thermal conductivity, thermal shield behavior under high-temperature and thermal−force coupling conditions, and thermal shock resistance. Thermal conductivities of the flexible silica aerogel composite at 25−1100 °C are lower than those of most reported aerogel composites. Coupling of force under high temperature leads to degradation of thermal insulation performance, owing to deformation with compression. The synthesis method of the flexible silica aerogel is facile and inspiring, and the flexible silica aerogel composites have promising prospects in thermal insulation under high-temperature and thermal-stress coupling conditions, such as suppressing thermal runaway propagation of lithium-ion batteries.
