WP1: Degradation / safety intersection SafeBatt encompasses the science of safety from the microscopic, materials level to the cell and module length scales, and time scales spanning the degradation of materials (over 100s cycles) down to the nucleation and propagation of thermal runaway with characteristically sub-second events. SafeBatt employs state-of-the-art measurement and characterisation techniques to understand the causes of cell failure, the interplay between cell degradation and safety, as well as the safety implications of fast charging and operation under extreme conditions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a809a3e317528831d4c10/ff52ca70-c00e-465a-b4ae-f53e49ad85c5/cell+instr2.PNG About - WP2: Instrumented, high-speed, scientific failure There is a critical need to understand and mitigate the risks of thermal runaway, whereby events during abnormal cell operation can trigger a cascade of exothermic processes, ultimately leading to catastrophic cell failure. We use high resolution, high speed visualisation and instrumentation techniques to understand why cells fail as they do and how different failure modes affect cell-cell thermal runaway propagation. Integrating sensors directly into the cell allows quantification of key internal states of the battery during failure as well as providing data for model parametrisation. Testing large scale packs is hazardous, slow and expensive, thus does not support agile development of propagation mitigation strategies. SafeBatt is developing a minimum cell cluster & enclosure concept for cells, which will allow us to investigate barrier materials for mitigation of thermal propagation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a809a3e317528831d4c10/d9b9740b-c6cb-44d2-9f40-37075320c282/vapour+logos+wide+portrait+annot.png About - WP3: Pack/EV/LIBESS testing and real world response This Work Package focuses on improving our understanding of the dynamic processes occurring during real-world failure. Carrying out large scale testing (e.g., modules and packs) helps us understand how applications at pack level change the safety requirements at cell level. SafeBatt is also investigating different fire extinguishing technologies and looking at the toxicity of fumes and run-off from Li-ion battery fires. The output from this Work Package helps provide best practices and understanding to stake holders such as government, standards and regulatory bodies, industry, OEMs and first responders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a809a3e317528831d4c10/2cc5ca60-b2b6-48c3-89be-20e8e0a26b23/model2.PNG About - WP4: Modelling to inform the science of safety SafeBatt has expanded its reaction network modelling to modelling thermal runaway in a cell, including the flame and ejecta, as well as propagation. A model is being developed simulating Li-ion cell thermal runaway from first principles to predict off-gas species and the reaction pathway to thermal runaway. Extending this beyond cell level, we want to understand and predict the consequences of battery failure, e.g., the large heat output of flaming cells, by modelling three aspects of battery failure: (1) what occurs at cell failure and the potentially resulting fire, (2) initiation of thermal runaway and (3) how thermal runaway propagates to neighbouring cells. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a809a3e317528831d4c10/62f9a8f6-1f53-4fb1-81ab-ebd859c83972/WM.PNG About - WP5: dissemination and policy influence In our ongoing collaboration with a net of international battery and fire professionals the SafeBatt team regularly engages with academia, industry, policy makers, general public and first responders on safety related battery topics. Our engagement with automotive, aerospace and energy storage sectors guides the trajectory of this work in response to contemporary industry need, ensuring the project delivers commercially relevant science and practical safety solutions. Working closely with industry, government and policy makers, we aim to influence standards and our international work training and advising first responders such as Fire & Rescue Services is invaluable in keeping them safe. https://www.safebatt.ac.uk/publications daily 0.75 2026-01-26 https://www.safebatt.ac.uk/new-page-3 daily 0.75 2026-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a809a3e317528831d4c10/bc4208b0-230b-4a66-ab83-0766b14c536d/IMG_20240206_112123376.jpg SafeBatt News - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609a809a3e317528831d4c10/7eb39889-d608-40f8-aa3b-3b04eab9882c/IMG_20241121_095526469_HDR.jpg SafeBatt News - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
