Thermal runaway refers to a situation where an increase in temperature changes the conditions in a way that causes a further increase in temperature, often leading to a destructive result. Typical causes of thermal runaway events can be forced discharge of electrodes, which are insufficiently wetted by electrolyte, or excessive discharge currents, as in an internal or external short circuit.

  • Thermal runaway refers to a situation where an increase in temperature changes the conditions in a way that causes a further increase in temperature, often leading to a destructive result. Typical causes of thermal runaway events can be forced discharge of electrodes, which are insufficiently wetted by electrolyte, or excessive discharge currents, as in an internal or external short circuit. In other words, "thermal runaway" describes a process which is accelerated by increased temperature, in turn releasing energy that further increases temperature. In chemistry (and chemical engineering), this risk is associated with strongly exothermic reactions that are accelerated by temperature rise. In electrical engineering, thermal runaway is typically associated with increased current flow and power dissipation, although exothermic chemical reactions can also occur under some conditions.
