As the core component of energy storage,lithium-ion batteries may cause serious fire and explosion accidents once thermal runaway occurs and spreads.Therefore,it is crucial to study the thermal runaway propagation mechanism and barrier materials of batteries while the intrinsic safety issues of batteries have not been fundamentally solved.This article outlined the mechanism of thermal runaway of lithium-ion batteries,including triggers,internal chemical reactions and quantitative analysis.Starting from experimental and numerical simulation studies,the propagation mechanism of thermal runaway was elucidated.Based on the theoretical foundation,the research progress of thermal runaway propagation barrier materials was systematically reviewed,and the future research focus was prospected.
