Abstract

This paper proposes to apply a newly developed Non-Dispersive Infrared Spectroscopy (NDIR) gas sensing system composed of pyroelectric infrared detectors to monitor the thermal runaway (TR) process of lithium-ion batteries in real time and achieve an early warning system for the battery TR process. The new Electrical Vehicle Safety—Global Technical Regulation (EVS-GTR) requires that a warning be provided to passengers at least five minutes before a serious incident. The experimental results indicate that carbon dioxide and methane gas were detected during the overcharge test of the automotive battery, and the target gas was detected 25 s in advance before the battery TR when the battery vent was closed. In order to further explore the battery TR mechanism, an experiment was carried out using the battery sample with the battery vent opened. The target gas was detected about 580 s before the battery temperature reached the common alarm temperature (60 °C) of the battery management system (BMS). In this study, the beneficial effects of NDIR gas sensors in the field of thermal runaway warnings for automotive batteries were demonstrated and showed great application prospects and commercial value.
