Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are widely used in portable electronics and electric vehicles (EVs), and they are now a part of everyday life. Lithium-ion batteries offer a number of advantages, but if damaged, mishandled or poorly manufactured, they can suffer stability issues and be subject to what is called a ''thermal runaway''. Thermal runaway is a chain reaction

Lithium-ion Batteries (LIB) are an essential facilitator of the decarbonisation of the transport and energy system, and their high energy densities represent a major technological achievement and resource for humankind.
Conclusions The depth of penetration of Lithium-ion Batteries (LIBs) into everyday life and the relative number of reported incidents demonstrate that, whilst potentially significant, the risks and hazards associated with LIBs can be and are, to a greater extent, generally managed in everyday use.
Whether manufacturing or using lithium-ion batteries, anticipating and designing out workplace hazards early in a process adoption or a process change is one of the best ways to prevent injuries and illnesses.
In this review, we analyzed the main causes of the safety risks of LIBs and examined the inherent electrochemical mechanisms of LIBs. We also summarized the main factors that affect the safety of on-board LIBs, including battery materials, design, abuse conditions, and battery status.
Despite these advantages, LIB still have some disadvantages, especially in terms of safety. LIB tend to overheat and can be damaged at high voltages . High heat can lead to thermal runaway and combustion in some cases. A comparison of battery types is given in Table 1. Table 1. Parameters of commercial batteries, .
Overcharging results in the formation of lithium metal at the anode [53, 61] and the complete delithiation of the cathode [52, 56, 62] resulting in structural collapse and the formation of highly reactive species that oxidise the solvent to produce oxygen . In addition, the cell resistance increases, causing increased Joule heating.
