Toxic gases released during the burning of Lithium-ion batteries (CO and CO2) | Lithium-ion battery a clean future? Similar to hydrogen fluoride (HF), carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are common toxic gases that are released in the burning of LIB (Peng et al., 2020 ).
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.
When a lithium-ion battery fire breaks out, the damage can be extensive. These fires are not only intense, they are also long-lasting and potentially toxic. What causes these fires? Most electric vehicles humming along Australian roads are packed with lithium-ion batteries.
The high temperature reading in the large battery bundle fires agrees well with the past studies [ 23 – 25] which showed that the temperatures of lithium fires can be above 1,000°C. This result indicates that not only the hydrocabon compounds, but also the lithium metal inside the primary battery were involved in the burning.
The onset and intensification of lithium-ion battery fires can be traced to multiple causes, including user behaviour such as improper charging or physical damage. Then there are even larger batteries, such as Megapacks, which are what recently caught fire at Bouldercombe. Megapacks are large lithium-based batteries, designed by Tesla.
