Under some circumstances, damaged Li-ion batteries can experience thermal runaway behaviour that constitutes a fire and/or explosive safety hazard. In addition, the chemical make-up of Li-ion batteries produces toxic and corrosive emissions during such events. When these batteries are employed in enclosed environments (e.g. cars, homes, offices, etc.), the toxic emissions and fire potential from a damaged battery can be especially hazardous. The detection and speciation of emissions from a Li-ion battery before and during a thermal runaway event is therefore important for understanding the break down mechanisms and for developing new battery designs that can reduce these safety hazards.
