Mitigating Thermal Runaway of Lithium-Ion Batteries

The cell sample is placed inside the chamber that heats the battery to thermal runaway. The monitoring system of ARC records temperature, temperature rate, and voltage during thermal runaway. Three characteristic temperatures {T 1, T 2, T 3} are regarded as the most important features of battery thermal runaway.
