Abstract Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) have superior energy density and lifetime compared to battery technologies such as lead acid. Despite the widespread
application of LiBs in energy storage systems, electronic devices, aerospace and the automotive industry, they present a fire risk. In this study,
experiments were conducted to characterize the thermal behavior of the electrolyte (as the main contributor to LiB fires) using a cone calorimeter;
investigate the interactions of water mist and a Bunsen burner, as a precursor to examining the effectiveness of a water mist suppression system in
extinguishing a LiB fire. In the present… More >
