Factors that lead to thermal runaway
Generally, thermal runaway of lithium batteries is caused by three types of abuse, namely mechanical abuse, electrical abuse, and thermal abuse.Among them, mechanical abuse refers to the battery being subjected to external forces such as collision, extrusion, and puncture;Electrical abuse refers to the battery being subjected to internal and external short circuits, overcharge, and discharge;Thermal abuse refers to the battery being subjected to external heating.In fact, these three types of abuse are not completely independent, but are chain-related. The relationship between the three types of abuse is shown in the figure.As can be seen from the figure, mechanical abuse will first lead to electrical abuse, and then electrical abuse will lead to thermal abuse, and finally trigger thermal runaway.The reason why mechanical abuse leads to electrical abuse is that external force causes the internal diaphragm of the lithium battery to rupture, causing the positive electrode to connect with the negative electrode, thereby causing an internal short circuit, which is a case of electrical abuse.The reason why electrical abuse leads to thermal abuse is that once a short circuit occurs inside the lithium battery, a large amount of heat will be released, and chemical reactions under higher temperature conditions will be triggered, which will further release heat, which is equivalent to the external heat source constantly heating the battery, that is, thermal abuse.Once the heat inside the battery accumulates to a certain extent, thermal runaway will break out.Bosa EnergyBosa Energy with 150GWH capacity and over 400,000 electric bus/utility vehicle application experience we are listing first 5 in China power battery industry.

What is the surface density of a battery cell? The impact of surface density on battery life and charging speed
1. Definition and calculation logic of surface densitySurface density is a core parameter in the design of lithium-ion battery pole piece, which is defined as the mass of active material per unit surface area of the electrode (unit: mg/cm²).The calculation formula is: Surface density = compaction density (g/cm³) * pole piece thickness (μm)/1000The surface density directly determines the content of active materials per unit area of the pole piece and is a regulatory lever for energy density (battery life) and rate performance (charging speed).2. The impact of surface density on battery life: the "amplifier" of energy densityHigh surface density improves battery life. The higher the surface density, the more active materials the positive electrode can accommodate per unit surface area, and the energy density increases accordingly.The cost of battery life: internal resistance and thermal runaway risk. High surface density leads to increased thickness of the pole piece, longer lithium ion diffusion path, increased internal resistance and increased heat generation, which may cause thermal runaway.3. The impact of surface density on charging speed: the "double-edged sword" of fast charging performanceLow surface density optimizes fast charging capability. When the surface density decreases, the pole piece becomes thinner, the lithium ion diffusion path is shortened, the polarization effect is weakened, and the internal resistance is reduced, which is more suitable for fast charging scenarios.Hidden dangers of extreme low surface density: Too low surface density will increase the difficulty of coating process, reduce mechanical strength (easy to break), and require more pole piece layers to be stacked, which will increase costs and safety risks.Theoretically, the smaller the surface density, the more conducive it is to improving rate performance. However, the surface density design also has a lower limit. In addition, the battery has not only rate requirements, but also capacity requirements. Simply reducing the surface density will inevitably increase the number of layers of the pole piece, and the increase in the number of layers also increases the risk.The balance rule of R&D engineers: How to design the optimal surface density?Application scenario priority, material and process coordination, dynamic test verificationBosa EnergyBosa Energy with 150GWH capacity and over 400,000 electric bus/utility vehicle application experience we are listing first 5 in China power battery industry.

The influence of internal resistance of lithium battery
An important factor affecting the performance of lithium batteries is internal resistance. As a key indicator of lithium battery performance, internal resistance has a profound impact on the battery's discharge performance, charging performance, self-discharge rate, temperature characteristics and cycle life.The influence of lithium battery internal resistance on battery performance1. Lithium battery dischargeIn terms of discharge performance, the greater the internal resistance of the lithium battery, the more voltage is lost during the discharge process, resulting in a decrease in output voltage. In addition, a larger internal resistance will also limit the size of the output current. The size of the lithium battery internal resistance directly affects the discharge capacity of the battery. In scenarios where high power output is required, lithium batteries with larger internal resistance may not be able to meet the demand, resulting in performance degradation.2. Lithium battery chargingIn terms of charging performance, internal resistance also plays a key role. When the internal resistance is large, the charging current will be limited, resulting in a slower charging speed and affecting the charging efficiency of the battery. Especially with the widespread application of fast charging technology, reducing internal resistance has become the key to improving charging performance.3. Internal resistance also affects the self-discharge rate of lithium batteries. Self-discharge refers to the loss of power caused by internal chemical reactions when the battery is not connected to an external circuit. The larger the internal resistance, the higher the self-discharge rate, which will also cause rapid power loss when the battery is not in use.4. The influence of internal resistance on the temperature characteristics of lithium batteriesLithium batteries generate heat when working, and the larger the internal resistance, the more heat is generated. This may not only cause the battery temperature to rise, but also affect the stability and safety of the battery.Optimization measures to reduce the internal resistance of lithium batteries and improve battery performance1. Optimize battery materials: Select positive and negative electrode materials and electrolytes with high conductivity and low polarization effect, which can effectively reduce the internal resistance of the battery.2. Improve battery structure: By optimizing the battery pole design, diaphragm thickness and electrolyte distribution, the internal resistance and polarization effect of the battery can be reduced, thereby reducing the internal resistance.3. Apply BMS management to reduce internal resistance: BMS can accurately control and monitor the battery to avoid problems such as overcharging and discharging and overheating of the battery, so as to keep the internal resistance of the battery at a low level.4. Reduce the internal resistance of lithium batteries by adopting advanced thermal management technology: By adopting advanced thermal management technology to reduce the internal resistance of lithium batteries, such as liquid cooling, air cooling, etc., the operating temperature of the battery can be effectively controlled to reduce the increase in internal resistance caused by temperature increase.Bosa EnergyBosa Energy with 150GWH capacity and over 400,000 electric bus/utility vehicle application experience we are listing first 5 in China power battery industry.
