doi:10.16085/j.issn.1000-6613.2018-1759

Abstract

Abstract: Because of the external high temperature environment, a series of chemical reactions inside the battery lead to the rapid rise of temperature and pressure inside the battery. Electrode materials and electrolytes affect the safety of the battery. Adiabatic accelerated calorimeter (ARC) is one of the methods to study battery safety through its self-heating in adiabatic environment sensitively. The relationship between the self-exothermic rate and temperature can be obtained by ARC, which can promote the study on dynamics of lithium/sodium ion battery, the analysis of the causes of thermal runaway and evaluation of thermal safety performance of electrode material and electrolyte. This paper reviewed the research of ARC in lithium/sodium ion battery safety during the recent twenty years. It compared the thermal behavior of different electrode materials, electrolytes and batteries, and then selected safer materials and electrolytic system, which provided the effective theoretical data and reference for the future design and research of the lithium/sodium ion battery.

摘要： 电池热失控主要由于外部高温环境等因素，使得电池内部发生一系列的化学反应，导致电池内部的温度上升。电极材料、电解液以及它们之间的匹配程度都将影响电池的安全性能。绝热加速量热仪（ARC）由于其能研究绝热环境下的自加热情况且灵敏度高等优点成为电池安全性研究的方式之一。通过ARC测试，可以得到自放热速率和温度的变化关系，推动锂/钠离子电池动力学研究、热失控原因分析以及电极材料、电解液热安全性能评估的研究。本文回顾了近二十年来绝热加速量热仪在锂/钠离子电池安全性方面的研究，比较了不同的电极材料、电解液以及电池的热行为，筛选出安全性更高的电池材料与电解液体系，为今后的锂/钠离子电池的设计和研究提供有效的理论数据与参考。
