Abstract

The thermal behavior of carbon-coated LiFePO 4 cathode material was investigated using three different calorimetric techniques. Heat released during charge and discharge of cylindrical 18650 size cells was measured in an isothermal calorimeter. Accelerating rate calorimetry was used to investigate the cause of thermal runaway of the cylindrical 18650 size cells. On the other hand, differential scanning calorimeter was used to study the contribution of the delithiated carbon-coated LiFePO 4 and the lithiated graphite to the overall thermal runaway through coin cells of 2032 size. The carbon-coated LiFePO 4 showed very good thermal stability.
