A prominent example is the 2021 Beijing Fengtai "4.16″ energy storage station explosion, where TRG generated by LFP batteries exploded in the presence of an electrical spark following an internal short circuit . Therefore, it is crucial to study the explosion characteristics of TRG and develop effective suppression technologies for enhanced BESS safety.

Although lithium-ion batteries are increasingly being used to achieve cleaner energy, their thermal safety is still a major concern, particularly in the fields of energy-storage power stations and
Hydrogen refueling station (HRS) is one of the most important infrastructures for fuel cell vehicles, where hydrogen is refueled into the vehicle-mounted high-pressure gas cylinder [, , ]. Currently, HRSs can be mainly divided into high-pressure gaseous hydrogen refueling stations (GHRSs) and liquid hydrogen refueling stations (LHRSs) .
Hydrogen energy represents a vital solution to the challenges posed by global warming and the advancement of a new energy paradigm. Underground salt caverns are considered optimal sites for large-scale hydrogen storage due to their cost-effectiveness, heightened safety measures, minimal hydrogen loss rates, flexible and swift injection
Studies have shown that in a two-phase system explosion, EMC can make the two-phase system more explosive and more powerful, and the thermal runaway gas expands

The preliminary investigation by safety consultancy Gexcon shows that the incident started with a hydrogen leak from a plug in one of the tanks in the high-pressure storage unit. This leak created a mixture of hydrogen and air that ignited and created a pressure wave; the investigation will continue into the specific source of ignition.

The heating power for the trigger cell in the battery module is turned off once it goes into TR. The present study assumes the occurrence of TR in the Li-ion cells as a venting of smoke and gases
The anticipated Brady Heywood investigative report into the catastrophic explosion at Callide C power station in May 2021 has found state-owned CS Energy failed to implement “effective process safety practices” at
Numerous lithium-ion battery (LIB) fires and explosions have raised serious concerns about the safety issued associated with LIBs; some of these incidents were mainly caused by
On April 16, 2021, an explosion occurred at the Beijing Dahongmen energy storage station, resulting in the loss of two firefighters and one staff member . Li-BESS incidents not only pose a serious threat to life and property safety but also cause adverse social impact that significantly impede the widespread application of energy storage technologies.
Electrochemical energy storage technology has been widely used in grid-scale energy storage to facilitate renewable energy absorption and peak (frequency) modulation . Wherein, lithium-ion battery has become the main choice of electrochemical energy storage station (ESS) for its high specific energy, long life span, and environmental friendliness.

In the explosion accident of a LIB energy storage system, battery modules experience a cascade TR, with TR gas coexisting in space with electrolyte vapor and undergoing a coupling explosion. This may cause the explosion parameters of the ejecta to change and cause more serious harmful consequences.
Therefore, the safety protection and explosion suppression ability of lithium-ion battery ESS are significantly important. It is urgent to conduct in-depth studies on the gas explosion behavior and characteristics of lithium-ion battery ESS.
Based on the surveillance records of the experiment, it can be assumed that the combustible gases in the container were evenly distributed before the explosion. In the overcharging process, the electrolytes consumed by chemical reactions in the batteries were limited.
