Abstract:

In this paper, an experimental study on the effects of different types of heat insulation layer on the propagation characteristics of thermal runaway in battery modules is conducted. The results show that heat insulation layer can extend the heat spread time of battery module, prevent the fire caused by valve eruption in battery and lower the peak temperature in the thermal runaway of battery module. Among them, the thermal runaway propagation effect of the insulation layer of preoxidized fibers aerogel has the best effect in suppressing the propagation of thermal runaway. Its total propagation time of thermal runaway is 138% longer than that of ceramic aerogel, and 279% longer than that of nano-glass fiber.

Key words: lithium?ion battery module, insulating layer, thermal runaway, heat propagation suppression, aerogel
