In the first half of 2021, there were 56 reported incidents of electric vehicle fires and explosions. With the gradual promotion of new energy vehicles, the public's anxiety about lithium-ion battery explosions is increasing. There have also been considerable reports of fires and explosions in lithium battery energy storage stations.
This increase in fire risk is proportional to the increase in the mass and capacity of the battery (or the fuel). During the burning of LIBs, the generation of flammable/explosive gases and toxic smokes, such as hydrogen (H 2), methane (CH 4), carbon monoxide (CO), and hydrogen fluoride (HF), can pose a threat to those involved [72, 73].
According to the investigation conclusion released by the South Korean side, the causes of the lithium battery fire include three major reasons: insufficient battery overvoltage protection, the need for improvement in the operating environment (humidity and dust) and installation process, and insufficient experience in ESS.
