Abstract:In this investigation, there was deduced from experiments that an exothermic reaction in the thermal runaway process in alkaline batteries is the electrochemical reaction of atomic hydrogen recombination Hads Cd + Hads Ni → H2↑(H2O + Hads + e- → H2↑ + OH- on a cathode and Hads + OH- → H2O + e- on an anode). A rate-limiting step for this reaction on both a cathode and an anode is found to be a step of metal-hydrides disintegration. This electrochemical reaction proceeds at voltage 0.5–0.6 V on battery terminals… Show more
“…The thermal runaway of lithiumion batteries can be divided into four stages after consulting the relevant literature and exploring the experimental process in this work according to our literature research and study. [37][38][39] As shown in Fig. 2, in the first stage between 69℃ and 120℃ when thermal runaway occurs in lithium-ion batteries, SEI layers which mainly consists of stable or metastable components (such as LiF, Li 2 CO 3 ROCO 2 Li, (CH 2 OCO 2 Li) 2 , and ROLi Li 2 CO 3 ) break down and regenerate, lithium-ion batteries will release some combustible gas in this process.…”
Safety issues limit the large-scale application of lithium-ion batteries. In this work, a new type of N-H-microcapsule fire extinguishing agent is prepared by using melamine-urea-formaldehyde resin as shell material, perfluoro(2-methyl-3-pentanone)...

“…During battery charging, hydrides are formed only in the thin surface layer of the electrodes [ 19 ] and the gravimetric capacity of the electrodes increases insignificantly.…”
This paper has experimentally proved that hydrogen accumulates in large quantities in metal-ceramic and pocket electrodes of alkaline batteries during their operation. Hydrogen accumulates in the electrodes in an atomic form. After the release of hydrogen from the electrodes, a powerful exothermic reaction of atomic hydrogen recombination with a large energy release occurs. This exothermic reaction is the cause of thermal runaway in alkaline batteries. For the KSL-15 battery, the gravimetric capacity of sintered nickel matrix of the oxide-nickel electrode, as hydrogen storage, is 20.2 wt%, and cadmium electrode is 11.5 wt%. The stored energy density in the metal-ceramic matrix of the oxide-nickel electrode of the battery KSL-15 is 44 kJ/g, and in the cadmium electrode it is 25 kJ/g. The similar values for the KPL-14 battery are as follows. The gravimetric capacity of the active substance of the pocket oxide-nickel electrode, as a hydrogen storage, is 22 wt%, and the cadmium electrode is 16.9 wt%. The density of the stored energy in the active substance oxide-nickel electrode is 48 kJ/g, and in the active substance of the cadmium electrode it is 36.8 kJ/g. The obtained results of the accumulation of hydrogen energy in the electrodes by the electrochemical method are three times higher than any previously obtained results using the traditional thermochemical method.
“…That is why very often at building of practical models of batteries, statistical models are used [2,3,[12][13][14][15]. Also the statistical models are used, when there is a need in modeling of such poorly studied phenomena in batteries as the thermal runaway [16,17] or the hydrogen accumulation in electrodes [18,19]. This study is aimed at analysis of parameters variation of the generalized Peukert's equations for batteries of various modes of discharge as these equations are used very often in different models of batteries [2,3].…”
In this paper, the use possibility was analyzed of the most wellknown generalized Peukert’s equations, for computing of released capacity of nickel-cadmium batteries at different discharge currents. It was proved that these equations correspond well to experimental data throughout the entire variation interval of discharge currents. It was shown that the parameter n does not depend on a nominal capacity of a batteries under examination. Farther, it was shown that a functional dependence of a battery’s released capacity with a discharge current is determined by the statistical phase transition subjected to the normal distribution law.
