1,2,4-Triazole is a common intermediate used in the synthesis of pesticides and medicine, and has a very wide range of applications. As a kind of polynitrogen heterocycles, 1,2,4-triazole will release a lot of heat during thermal decomposition. If there is no comprehensive understanding of its pyrolysis behavior, there will be a very large thermal safety risk in the process involving 1,2,4-triazole in industrial production. At the same time, the instability of the substance may be affected by the presence of impurities, and the existing research on this aspect is quite scarce. Therefore, it is very necessary to study the effect of adding other substances on the thermal decomposition of 1,2, 4-triazole. The thermal decomposition characteristics and thermal runaway behavior of 1,2, 4-triazoles were revealed by thermodynamic experiments and various kinetic theoretical methods. According to the risk matrix, the thermal runaway danger level of 1,2, 4-triazole was determined to be level Ⅲ, which was an unacceptable risk. The results show that 1,2, 4-triazole has a huge heat release and the effect of thermal runaway is serious. In this study, three substances involved in the industrial production of fluconazole and flutriafol mixed with 1,2, 4-triazole were selected to explore their influence on the thermal decomposition of 1,2, 4-triazole under non-working conditions. DSC and ARC experiments consistently showed that these three impurities could reduce the reaction heat release of 1,2, 4-triazole to varying degrees, and confirmed that these three impurities could reduce the risk of thermal runaway of 1,2, 4-triazole to varying degrees. Among them, sodium hydride has the most outstanding performance, both in terms of reducing reaction heat release and reducing adiabatic temperature rise. The results can provide reference for loss control of 1,2,4-triazole in industrial applications.

To improve the safety of HMX, HMX/NH 2 -GO composite was prepared with aqueous ammonia functionalized graphene oxide (NH 2 -GO). The composite was characterized by SEM, Zeta potential, XPS, Raman spectrum, XRD, HPLC, DSC and BAM sensitivity test. The results indicated that the functionalization with aqueous ammonia can enhance the interaction between GO and HMX, and more efficiently desensitize the explosive. The optimal impact sensitivity of the HMX/NH 2 -GO composite can be not less than 40 J, which is also the most insensitivity compared to the previous reports prepared by coating desensitization with non-energetic desensitized material. Moreover, the potential reason for the different impact and friction sensitivity was also discussed, which may bring a novel perspective to achieve the desensitization of energetic material.

The thermal stability of lithiated graphite plays an important role in the thermal safety of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, a safer graphite anode usually leads to a lower energy density. This article starts from multiple hazardous factors of lithiated graphite when thermal runaway occurs, considering the impact of defects on the electrochemical performance and thermal safety of graphite electrodes. In this study, turbostratic graphite was prepared as the anode for LIBs. The stacking of graphite was altered to form narrow pores and spherical aggregates, and introducing defects. By varying the ball-milling time, the structural changes of different ball-milled graphites were analyzed. The impact mechanism of defect structure on electrode electrochemical performance and safety performance was investigated. The results show that the spherical structure and large specific surface area are beneficial to increase the active sites and delay the self-heating of the battery. The formation of defects and pores increases the adsorption sites, which makes the surface adsorption of Li + dominant and improves the ion diffusion. In addition, the dominance of surface adsorption and desorption effectively suppresses the problem of graphite flake peeling and intensified thermal runaway caused by graphite phase transition and lithium evolution heat release at high temperature. The thermal safety test was carried out by accelerated calorimeter (ARC), and its thermodynamics and reaction kinetics were quantitatively analyzed. It was proved that the introduction of surface adsorption lithium storage method successfully delayed the thermal runaway of the battery, realizing the balance between high electrochemical performance and high safety.

Severe safety concerns are impeding the large-scale employment of lithium-ion batteries. Disastrous thermal runaway results in catastrophic fires or explosions. Efforts to employ thermal insulation materials have generally improved the thermal safety of the battery module or pack. Conventional thermal insulation materials only prevent heat transfer when thermal runaway is triggered, which doesn’t provide long-term thermal protection. Here, a bifunctional fire-extinguishing microcapsule-coated aerogel sheet is reported to prolong the protection via an aerogel sheet containing temperature-responsive fire-extinguishing microcapsules. On one hand, the fire-extinguishing microcapsules coated aerogel sheet is designed to release fire-extinguishing agent in the early stage of thermal runaway by rapid heat absorption. On the other hand, the released fire-extinguishing agent coupled with a high-temperature resistant aerogel sheet suppresses the further thermal runaway propagation by prohibiting chemical chain reaction and heat transfer. The optimum synthesis of fire-extinguishing microcapsules and aerogel sheets was demonstrated to enhance the thermal safety of the battery module by delaying the thermal runaway propagation from 430 s to 2907 s. This performance is superior to that of conventional thermal insulation materials under a confined battery module condition. This novel strategy has the potential to reduce the damage of thermal runaway to human safety.

In this study, the effects of dopamine, binder and plasticizer on the crystal transformation of β-HNIW were investigated. By a simple preparation method, dopamine, plasticizer and binder were coated on the surface of β-HNIW. The characterization results of SEM , DSC and XRD show that the four dopamine polymers, three binders and four plasticizers form a stable polymer film on the surface of β-HNIW crystal. The crystal transformation temperature of β-HNIW crystal coated with dopamine polymer is delayed to varying degrees, and the crystal transformation temperature is significantly improved about 40 °C. Dopamine polymers effectively inhibit the crystal transformation of β-HNIW, improving the thermal safety of β-HNIW. The three binders have inhibitory effect on the crystal transformation of β-HNIW, and four plasticizers promote the crystal transformation of β-HNIW. Dopamine and binder have an inhibitory effect on the β-HNIW crystal transformation, while the plasticizer has a promoting effect on the β-HNIW crystal transformation.

Guanidinium-5-aminotetrazole (GA) was synthesized by mixing 5-aminotetrazole (5-AT) and guanidine carbonate in heated deionized water. The composite propellants containing GA and differential oxidizers (Sr(NO 3 ) 2 , KNO 3 , NaNO 3 ) were prepared, and its structural characteristics, thermal decomposition behavior, kinetics, thermal safety and burning characteristics were investigated. The thermal analysis results showed that the decomposition of GA based propellants could be separated into five stages, consisting of one phase change reaction, one exothermic reaction and three endothermic reactions. The reaction mechanisms of each decomposition stage were also researched and considered it was following reaction order models. The thermal safety evaluations were conducted using the obtained related parameters of the exothermic reaction. Combined with the burning characteristics measurement results, GA coupled with Sr(NO 3 ) 2 represented a higher thermal safety and more stale combustion process than other two propellant samples, which is also act as a promising formulation to substitute 5-AT based propellant in fire-fighting area.

To prevent thermal runaway incidents in semibatch reactors (SBRs), designing thermally safe operating conditions should be considered first. Regretfully, determination of the reaction kinetics for organic reactions is a time-consuming and money-consuming process, especially in the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Therefore, it is desirable to develop kinetic-parameter-free methods that can design the right operating conditions. Along this line, a new facile approach to design thermally safe operating conditions for isoperibolic homogeneous SBRs has been developed in this article. This approach is developed on the basis of deep insights into the phenomenon that the MTSR vs reaction temperature profiles for isothermal exothermic reactions present an “S” shape. The approach has been experimentally validated using the hydrolysis reaction of acetic anhydride. However, more work should be carried out to extend this method to more complex reaction systems, like consecutive reactions.

The cyclohexanone peroxide reaction process, one of the eighteen hazardous chemical processes identified in China, is performed in indirectly cooled semibatch reactors. The peroxide reaction is added to a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and nitric acid, which form heterogeneous liquid–liquid systems. A simple and general procedure for building boundary and temperature diagrams of peroxide process is given here to account for the overall kinetic expressions. Such a procedure has been validated by comparison with experimental data. Thermally safer operating parameters were obtained at laboratory scale, and the scaled-up procedure was performed to give the minimum dosing time in an industrial plant, which is in favor of maximizing industrial reactor productivity. The results are of great significance for governing the peroxide reaction process apart from the thermal runaway region. It also greatly aids in determining optimization on operating parameters in industrial plants.

Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) are regarded as one of the most promising next-generation energy storage devices due to their high energy density. However, the conversion of LMBs from laboratory to factory is hindered by the formation of lithium dendrites and volume change during lithium stripping and deposition processes. In this work, a volume-responsive separator with core/shell structure thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)/polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) fibers and SiO2 coating layers is designed to restrict dendrite growth. The TPU/PVDF–SiO2 separator can accommodate the volume change like an artificial lung and keep intimate contact with the electrodes, which leads to the formation of a uniform and high-density solid–electrolyte interphase. Meanwhile, the separator can regulate the transport channels and diffusion coefficients (D) of lithium ions with the change of porosity from both experimental and ab initio molecular dynamic analysis. The Li symmetric cells assembled with the TPU/PVDF–SiO2 can run for 1000 h at the current of 1.0 mA cm–2 without a short circuit. Moreover, the low melting point of PVDF can shut the ionic conduction down at 170 °C, guaranteeing the thermal safety of the batteries. With the above advantages, the TPU/PVDF–SiO2 separator presents great potential to promote the commercial and industrial application of LMBs.

Lithium (Li) metal batteries have garnered significant attention due to their high energy density. However, the safety concerns associated with Li-metal batteries need to be addressed for their commercial viability. Most research has focused on the safety of separators and electrolytes, yet little emphasis is placed on the heat safety of lithium metal. In an out-of-control scenario, the combustion of lithium metal can release significantly more heat compared to other components. In this study, a highly safe composite Li metal anode is introduced fabricated by repeatedly rolling copper (Cu) powder and lithium metal. Electrochemical tests show that the Cu/Li anode can withstand up to 200 cycles, far surpassing the 50-cycle lifespan of conventional Li metal anodes. Safety test results indicate that the Li/Cu composite anode possesses self-extinguishing properties, significantly mitigating the safety risks associated with lithium metal batteries. Thermal runaway tests on the 1.0 Ah pouch cell demonstrate that the Li/Cu composite anode exhibits excellent safety characteristics, effectively inhibiting thermal runaway phenomena. The proposed straightforward, and high-safety Li/Cu composite anode can enhance the safety profile of lithium metal batteries and provide crucial technical support for their industrial application.

The separator is a crucial component of lithium-ion batteries, playing a vital role in ion transfer and preventing polarization of the battery . To solve the problem of poor thermal safety of separators in lithium-ion batteries, in this work, three types of hydrophobic silica aerogels are compared. A suitable separator is fabricated by adding hydrophobic silica aerogels with monomethylsilyl as a modifier to pure polyimide . The aerogel composite separator displays a highly cross-linked three-dimensional nanoporous network, a low thermal shrinkage rate (<4 % at 200 °C), and high thermal stability (peak temperature of 670 °C) and oxygen index (>45 %). In addition, owing to the introduced hydrophobic functional groups of Si –CH 3 , the prepared separator decreases the polarization of the lithium-ion batteries and leads to improved power performance and cycle stability (its discharge voltage difference is 0.42 V higher than that of Celgard 2325 at 5 C). This work provides a new method of improving the safety and simultaneously reducing the polarization of lithium-ion batteries, which has promising application potential in power batteries.

Nitroaromatic acids, ubiquitous intermediates in nitro compounds, find broad applications in pharmaceuticals and fine chemical industries, yet their safety often receives inadequate attention. This paper investigates the thermal decomposition process of three isomers of nitrobenzoic acid using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TG), complemented by calculations of the apparent activation energy using typical kinetic methods. The reaction type was verified using a nonlinear fitting method. Thermal safety parameters including the time to maximum rate (TMR), critical temperature of self-acceleration (TCL), and thermal risk index (TRI) were employed to elucidate the thermal hazards. The thermal decomposition mechanism was further explained using density functional theory (DFT) methods, focusing on the Mayer bond order. The findings revealed that the average apparent activation energies for p-nitrobenzoic acid (PNBA), m-nitrobenzoic acid (MNBA), and o-nitrobenzoic acid (ONBA) were 157.00, 203.43, and 131.31 kJ mol-1, respectively. A single n-order reaction characterized the thermal decomposition process. The TMR and TCL parameters indicated a decomposition tendency at high temperatures, with the thermal stability at elevated temperatures following the order: PNBA < ONBA < MNBA. The TRI parameter indicates the danger level of the nitrobenzoic acids. The thermal decomposition mechanism was elucidated using Mayer bond energies, offering valuable insights into storage and transportation, and contributing to developing predictive models for thermal characteristics.
