Abstract

Internal short circuit (ISC) plays an important role in lithium-ion battery safety accidents. However, the mechanism of how ISC triggers thermal runaway is still unclear yet. We implant the shape memory alloy device into jelly-roll to trigger ISC and analyze the thermal and electrical behaviors under different ISC types and SOC variance conditions. The ISC resistance is identified by using the no-salt battery based on the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests. The proposed resistance identification method benefits further ISC mechanism and modelling research.
