Description

METHOD OF PROTECTING BATTERY CELLS AND BATTERIES WHICH CONTAIN BATTERY CELLS AND PROTECTED BATTERY CELLS AND BATTERIES WHICH CONTAIN BATTERY CELLS
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to methods for protecting cells and batteries which contain cells. The present invention also relates to protected cells and protected batteries which contain cells and methods for producing such a protected cell and battery.
DISCUSSION OF THE BACKGROUND
Batteries comprising lithium-based cells can provide the highest energy density of all rechargeable (secondary) cells. Cells are available in a range of energy densities, power densities and packaging options. This energetic battery technology comes at a price, however, as the cells are known for causing a fire hazard when misused.
Today's batteries may be constructed using lithium polymer pouch cells. These pouch cells are welded together to form what are sometimes referred to as bricks, assemblies, or quanta. The quanta are encapsulated and then they are arranged mechanically and electrically to create a battery pack.
Recently, fires caused by lithium-based battery packs have called into question the intrinsic safety and safety testing of such batteries. Currently, there is no alternative for battery power that has high energy density, long cycle life and is safe.
Through good electronics and packaging design, the chance of fires in lithium battery packs can be reduced to a reasonable level. However, even in the best design, fires within cells can and do occur. In many cases a fire in a single cell may be tolerable, but a fire in a multiple cell pack caused by a single cell can quickly turn in to a high energy conflagration that is difficult to extinguish.
Primary batteries (single-use) and secondary batteries (rechargeable) are subject to internal or external failures that cause conflagration of the cell. This conflagration has been shown to propagate rapidly from cell to cell and from battery to battery, releasing tremendous amounts of thermal energy risking human life, facilities, and vehicle platforms.
Thus, there remains a need for lithium-based cells and batteries that are substantially free from the above-discussed problems. In particular, there remains a need for a safe battery system with high power density and high energy and which eliminates or significantly reduces the chance of and extends the time to failure of a cell or battery.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The design and production of battery cell, assemblies and batteries which contain such lithium-based cells are known in the art and described in Kirk-Othmer,
Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, Fifth Edition, Wiley Interscience, NY, NY, vol. 3, pp. 407-561 (2004), and David Linden, Handbook of Batteries, McGraw Hill, Inc, ISBN 0-07-037921 -1 , which are incorporated herein by reference.
In the battery cells of the present invention, at least a portion of the exterior is coated with a fire-resistant coating. Preferably, substantially all of the exterior is coated with a fire-resistant coating. Similarly, it is preferred that substantially all of the exterior of the present assemblies and batteries be coated with a fire resistant coating. The term substantially all of the exterior should be understood to mean all of the exterior with the exception of the areas which must not be coated to permit electrical and/or mechanical connection of the cell, assembly, or battery for installation and/or proper functioning, maintenance, and inspection.
The fire resistant coating may be either an ablative coating, an intumescent coating, or an endothermic coating. Examples of ablative coatings include modified epoxy binders filled with thermally active materials which form cooling gases when exposed to extreme temperatures and polyurethane based coatings containing active fillers that form a liquid film at high temperatures. Such coatings are commercially available and are sold under the names FIREX™ 2373, FIREX™ 2376, and FIREX™ 23903, by MINTEQ International Inc.
An intumescent is a substance which swells as a result of heat exposure, thus increasing in volume, and decreasing in density.
Examples of endothermic coatings include concrete and gypsum. The coating may be applied by any suitable technique, such as spraying, dip coating, or molding.
The thickness of the coating will depend on the identity of the fire-resistant coating and the degree of protection desired. Generally speaking, the thickness of the coating will range from 1 to 25 mm, preferably 1.5 to 20 mm, more preferably 2 to 15 mm.
In the case of an assembly, one or more of the cells within the assembly may be coated. Alternatively, only the exterior of the assembly may be coated. In another embodiment, one or more of the cells within the assembly may be coated and the exterior of the assembly may also be coated.
In the case of a battery, one or more of the cells or assemblies within the battery may be coated. Alternatively, only the exterior of the battery may be coated. In another embodiment, one or more of the cells or assemblies within the battery may be coated and the exterior of the battery may also be coated.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the battery cell is a lithium-based battery cell.
Other features of the invention will become apparent in the course of the following descriptions of exemplary embodiments which are given for illustration of the invention and are not intended to be limiting thereof.
EXAMPLES
Comparative Example 1.
In a first test, a cell was placed directly on a plate that was heated by a MAPP gas torch. The cell erupted in flame in around 24 seconds and reached a maximum temperature of 320°C. Example 1.
In a second test a cell coated with FIREX was placed on the metal plate and heated under the same conditions as in Comparative Example 1 . That cell did not catch fire after 3 minutes. Instead the coating prevented heat from damaging the cell and inspection of the cell after the fire showed no visible sign of physical damage.
