View more6 FAQs about [The hazards of producing fluorine batteries]
Are fluoride batteries dangerous?
Even under normal circumstances—i.e., excluding possible fires and accidents—batteries can pose a risk to human and environmental health. Fluoride batteries are no exception. All seven metal fluorides previously considered are considered dangerous according to the European Classification, Labeling, and Packaging Regulation .
Is hydrogen fluoride a risk for a Li-ion battery fire?
The release of hydrogen fluoride from a Li-ion battery fire can therefore be a severe risk and an even greater risk in confined or semi-confined spaces. This is the first paper to report measurements of POF 3, 15–22 mg/Wh, from commercial Li-ion battery cells undergoing abuse.
Do fluorine-containing substances affect battery performance?
Fluorine-containing substances have been proven to effectively enhance battery performance and are widely added or applied to LIBs. However, the widespread use of fluorine-containing substances increases the risk of fluorine pollution during the recycling of spent Lithium-ion batteries (SLIBs).
How to reduce the risk of fluorine pollution during battery recycling?
To decrease the risk of fluorine pollution during the recycling of spent batteries, it is essential to separate or remove all fluorinated substances from the battery as soon as possible when the battery is opened.
How much hydrogen fluoride can a battery generate?
The results have been validated using two independent measurement techniques and show that large amounts of hydrogen fluoride (HF) may be generated, ranging between 20 and 200 mg/Wh of nominal battery energy capacity. In addition, 15–22 mg/Wh of another potentially toxic gas, phosphoryl fluoride (POF 3), was measured in some of the fire tests.
Do lithium-ion batteries emit toxic gases during a fire?
Although the emission of toxic gases can be a larger threat than the heat, the knowledge of such emissions is limited. This paper presents quantitative measurements of heat release and fluoride gas emissions during battery fires for seven different types of commercial lithium-ion batteries.
