Abstract
A pre-feasibility study was conducted to detect increased risk of thermal runaway for single cell by the Charging curve analysis. Cycled cells with lithium plating were prepared as samples with increased risk of thermal runaway. The increased risk of thermal runaway was evaluated experimentally with thermal runaway tests using laser irradiation. The Charging curve analysis is one of the non-destructive diagnostic methods based on electrochemistry. The Charging curve analysis detected the lithium plating in the cycled cells, demonstrating its potential as a non-destructive diagnostic method for increased risk of thermal runaway.
