Why do lithium batteries produce gas when overcharged or overdischarged?
Date:2018-04-18 browse:337
Ordinary lithium-ion batteries produce a small amount of gas inside the battery during the charging process,
which is generally absorbed during discharge. If the charging current is too large and often overcharged,
the gas generation will be intensified, and the internal pressure of the battery will increase resulting in swelling.
A slight bulge in the battery is allowed, and avoiding overcharge is the key to reducing the bulge phenomenon.
In the production process of the battery cell liquid injection, the requirement of liquid injection pump is high.
In addition, the chemical properties of lithium are very active, it is easy to burn, when the battery charge and discharge,
the battery internal temperature continues to rise, the gas generated during the activation process expands,
the battery internal pressure increases, the pressure reaches a certain degree will burst, causing leakage, fire,
and even explosion, so it is absolutely important to ensure its safety performance. Lithium batteries are mainly some compounds,
toxicity is not very large, but there is a certain pollution, it is best not to inhale. Of course,
the electrolyte of lithium-ion batteries is mainly composed of alkyl carbonate and ether organic or inorganic lithium salts. Fortunately,
it is low toxicity, as long as you pay attention to ventilation and do not eat it, inhaling a small amount may have dizziness and vomiting symptoms,
immediately to the ventilation to breathe fresh air can alleviate. Serious cases require medical attention.
Lithium battery electrolyte is the carrier of ion transport in the battery. It is generally composed of lithium salts and organic solvents.
The electrolyte plays a role in conducting ions between the positive and negative electrodes of the lithium battery,
which is the guarantee of high voltage and high specific energy of the lithium ion battery.
The electrolyte is generally prepared by high purity organic solvent, electrolyte lithium salt,
necessary additives and other raw materials under certain conditions and in a certain proportion.
