Understanding the Risks of Lithium-Ion Batteries. The core of the problem lies in the volatile chemistry of lithium-ion batteries. When the internal components, such as the separator or electrodes, are damaged or malfunction, it can trigger a thermal runaway—a rapid and uncontrollable increase in temperature that often results in fire or explosion.
Lithium-ion batteries can explode or catch fire due to a phenomenon called thermal runaway. Thermal runaway is a chain reaction that occurs when the battery experiences a rapid increase in temperature, leading to the release of energy and potentially causing a catastrophic failure.
