Abstract:
The rapid development of modern advanced battery technologies has revolutionized energy storage for electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and grid applications. As energy density and performance increase, so do the risks associated with battery failures. One of the critical indicators of impending failure is the release of off-gases generated during abnormal condition such as overcharging, mechanical damage, or thermal runaway. Off-gas analysis plays a key role in understanding battery safety and reliability. Other than typical atmospheric gases there may be trace amounts of unknown or atypical species that require further investigation—typically using a combination of GC/MS and GC-ICP-MS.
