Abstract: Models of thermal runaway propagation in lithium-ion batteries are widely used for thermal safety analysis. Current methods, primarily lumped-parameter and 3D models, face challenges in balancing accuracy with computational efficiency. Three-dimensional models offer high accuracy at high computational cost, while lumped-parameter models are faster but less accurate. For instance, the battery shell is included in lumped-parameter models but often omitted in 3D models. This study focuses on a 37 Ah ternary lithium-ion battery, with Li(NiCoMn)1/3O2 as the cathode material and graphite as the anode material. The propagation of thermal runaway in the battery array is triggered by nail penetration. A lithium-ion battery thermal runaway propagation model is proposed, combining the lumped-parameter method with 3D modeling. The model primarily describes the heat transfer characteristics of the shell using a series connection of thermal capacitance and several thermal resistances. The shell temperature is then calculated by weighting the temperatures associated with the thermal capacitance and thermal resistances using specific weight coefficients. The joint model is detailed and applied to study thermal runaway propagation in one- and two-dimensional battery arrays. For the one-dimensional array, based on the three-dimensional simulation data and calculation time, the joint model shows only a 1.32% average deviation in propagation time compared to full 3D simulation, while maintaining good temperature agreement. It also reduces solution time by 70.22%. These findings confirm that the proposed model effectively enhances both the efficiency and accuracy of thermal runaway simulations, supporting improved safety analysis for lithium-ion battery systems.

  Data: Models of thermal runaway propagation in lithium-ion batteries are widely used for thermal safety analysis. Current methods, primarily lumped-parameter and 3D models, face challenges in balancing accuracy with computational efficiency. Three-dimensional models offer high accuracy at high computational cost, while lumped-parameter models are faster but less accurate. For instance, the battery shell is included in lumped-parameter models but often omitted in 3D models. This study focuses on a 37 Ah ternary lithium-ion battery, with Li(NiCoMn)1/3O2 as the cathode material and graphite as the anode material. The propagation of thermal runaway in the battery array is triggered by nail penetration. A lithium-ion battery thermal runaway propagation model is proposed, combining the lumped-parameter method with 3D modeling. The model primarily describes the heat transfer characteristics of the shell using a series connection of thermal capacitance and several thermal resistances. The shell temperature is then calculated by weighting the temperatures associated with the thermal capacitance and thermal resistances using specific weight coefficients.
