The mechanism of fire-extinguishing agent is mainly divided into isolation, smothering, cooling and chemical suppression. However, the fire triangle of battery is difficult to destroy, as the three elements of fire triangle can be provided by the battery itself. In addition, LIB fire is a complex fire with the characteristics discussed above.
Conclusions Several large-scale lithium-ion energy storage battery fire incidents have involved explosions. The large explosion incidents, in which battery system enclosures are damaged, are due to the deflagration of accumulated flammable gases generated during cell thermal runaways within one or more modules.
Fire accidents in battery energy storage stations have also gradually increased, and the safety of energy storage has received more and more attention. This paper reviews the research progress on fire behavior and fire prevention strategies of LFP batteries for energy storage at the battery, pack and container levels.
