Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIB) have dominated the energy market for several of decades due to their high energy density and long-life cycle. However, several fire accidents in electric vehicles have raised questions about their safety concerns. Researchers have identified thermal runaways to be the major reason for the fire susceptibility of LIBs. One of the major risks in accidents involving LIB fires is toxic gaseous emissions. Hence, it is necessary to understand those toxic emissions to properly counter them. In this study, small-scale battery fire tests will be performed, and the toxic gases will be analyzed using different tools such as Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and multi-gas detectors ultimately. However, so far, we have performed preliminary experiments to sturdy the surface temperature of cell. The results of this study showed that the thermal runaway of the cell is triggered when the surface temperature of the cell reaches 190°C, and it keeps on increasing for up to 208°C, even without the use of the heating source, the duration of the experiment varies from 30min to 45min. Based on the study results, suitable experiments scenarios are designed the study the gaseous analysis of the LIB on cell level.
