摘要
为了解Li(Ni x Co y Mn1-x-y )O2(NCM)锂离子电池热失控释放气体(BVG)在高温环境下引发爆燃的危险性,利用8 L爆炸测试装置和本生灯分别对BVG在不同初始温度θ0(25~120 ℃)下的爆炸特性和层流燃烧速度进行了测试. 同时,利用软件CHEMKIN数值模拟分析了常温和高温条件下层流燃烧速度SL的影响机制. 结果表明,爆炸下限(LFL)随初始温度的升高变化不明显,爆炸上限(UFL)增大;当θ0升高到120 ℃时,最大爆炸压力pmax由0.62 MPa降至0.45 MPa,且与θ0呈指数衰减关系;受正反两方面作用的影响,最大爆炸上升速率(dp/dt)max随θ0的升高有不同程度的降低;极限氧浓度(LOC)从7.39%呈指数下降至7.03%;SL随θ0的升高而增大. 同时发现C2H4和H2含量是影响BVG燃烧及爆炸破坏程度的决定性因素. 研究结果可为NCM锂离子电池热失控引发环境爆燃的危险性评估与防治提供参考.
Abstract
In order to evaluate the risk of deflagration in high temperature environments caused by NCM lithium-ion battery vent gas (BVG) after thermal runaway, the explosion characteristics and laminar burning velocity of BVG at different initial temperature θ0 (25~120 ℃) were tested using an 8 L explosive chamber and a Bunsen burner. At the same time, the influence mechanisms of laminar burning velocity(SL) at room temperature and high temperatures were further analyzed by CHEMKIN numerical simulations. The results show that the LFL doesn’t change significantly with the increase of the initial temperature, and UFL increases. When θ0 increases to 120 °C, pmax decreases from 0.62 MPa to 0.45 MPa, and the relationship with θ0 is exponential. Affected by both positive and negative effects, (dp/dt)max decreases to different degrees with the increase of θ0; LOC decreases exponentially from 7.39% to 7.03%; SL increases with the increase of θ0. It is also found that C2H4 and H2 are the decisive factors affecting the combustion and explosion damage degree of BVG. The research results can provide a reference for the risk assessment and prevention of environmental deflagration caused by thermal runaway in NCM lithium-ion batteries.
