Lithium vs. Ni-MH Batteries: Which is Safer?

NI-MH-Battery-Pack

Compared with lithium batteries(Li-ion), nickel-metal hydride batteries(Ni-MH) are superior in terms of safety.

When evaluating battery safety, nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) batteries generally offer a safer profile compared to lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. This makes Ni-MH a compelling choice for applications where thermal stability is paramount.

Why Ni-MH Batteries Excel in Safety

Ni-MH batteries possess inherent characteristics that contribute to their superior safety. Their relatively low specific heat capacity and energy density mean they are less prone to rapid temperature increases. Crucially, the high melting point of 400°C for Ni-MH batteries significantly reduces the risk of thermal runaway. Even under extreme stress conditions such as collision, extrusion, puncture, or short circuits, Ni-MH battery packs are less likely to experience a dramatic temperature surge leading to spontaneous combustion. The mature manufacturing processes and stable quality control in Ni-MH battery production further enhance their reliability and safety over time.

Understanding Lithium-Ion Battery Safety Concerns

In contrast, Li-ion battery safety presents more challenges due to the high reactivity of lithium ions and their higher energy density. The flammable nature of Li-ion battery raw materials is a critical factor. Should a Li-ion battery cell experience a short circuit or other damaging events, the internal temperature can rise sharply. This can trigger a violent chemical reaction within the electrolyte, increasing the risk of the battery pack catching fire or even exploding.

After years of technological development, the mature manufacturing process and stable quality of nickel-metal hydride batteries have greatly improved the safety of the batteries.

In comparison, lithium batteries(Li-ion) are not as safe as nickel-metal hydride batteries, mainly because lithium ions(Li-ion) are more active and have higher energy density. At the same time, the raw materials of lithium batteries(Li-ion) are flammable. Once the battery is short-circuited due to various destructive factors and the temperature rises, the internal electrolyte will undergo a violent chemical reaction, which may cause the battery to spontaneously combust.

Cobalt-free electrodes achieved with nickel ions

1100mah 3.7v battery

Many electric vehicles are powered by lithium batterie that rely on cobalt—a scarce, expensive metal with high environmental and social costs. A team of researchers from Japanese and French universities has now developed a practical nickel-based electrode material that opens new avenues to cobalt-free batteries for electric vehicles.

The researchers detailed their findings in a study published in the journal Energy Storage Materials.

“There is an undeniable need for cobalt-free, high-energy electrode materials for lithium batterie,” said Naoaki Yabuuchi from Yokohama National University.

Lithium batterie can be recharged when lithium ions flow from a positively charged electrode to a negatively charged electrode. In most lithium batterie for portable electronics, the positive electrode contains lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2), a chemical compound that offers high stability and energy density.

However, the limited, fraught supply chain of cobalt creates a bottleneck for large-scale batteries, including the ones used in electric vehicles. In addition, cobalt extraction generates toxic waste that contaminates land, air, and water.

To address these issues, lithium nickel oxide (LiNiO2)—which is similar in structure to LiCoO2—often serves as a cobalt-free alternative for electrode material. However, key instability issues plague the compound, specifically a gradual loss of capacity at the high-voltage region, which is associated with nickel-ion migration.

To improve electrode reversibility, nickel ions have been partially substituted by other metal ions, including reintroduced cobalt ions as well as manganese, aluminum and magnesium, to create “nickel-enriched layered materials” to serve as positive electrode materials.

li-ion-14.8v-12ah-battery-lithium batterie

“So far, 10–20 percent cobalt ions were necessary for nickel-based electrode materials,” Yabuuchi said. This, according to Yabuuchi, is still too much, and a unified understanding of how metal substitution can improve the process has not yet been established.

To address this knowledge gap, Yabuuchi and collaborators dug deeper into the problematic phase transition. When lithium ions leave the cathode under the influence of an external field, nickel ions migrate to specific sites within the lithium layers. Although this process is reversible, the reversibility gradually degrades through continuous cycles until the capacity is completely lost—a phenomenon not seen in cobalt-ion migration.

Previous studies reported that tungsten doping in LiNiO2 is an efficient approach to suppressing the detrimental phase transitions at high-voltage regions. Yabuuchi and collaborators tested the hypothesis that heavy, expensive tungsten ions could be substituted with other elements, specifically phosphorous—a lighter, more abundant element.

After detailed analysis on LiNiO2 integrated with nanosized lithium phosphate (Li3PO4), the researchers observed that, under certain conditions, problematic nickel-ion migration was effectively suppressed due to repulsive electrostatic interaction from the extra nickel ions within the Li layers.

Moreover, from these findings, Li-deficient LiNiO2, Li0.975Ni1.025O2, with the extra nickel ions in Li layers, is also synthesized using a simple methodology without phosphorus integration. Results also showed how Li0.975Ni1.025O2 can effectively mitigate unfavorable nickel-ion migration, and deliver consistent reversibility without cobalt ions.

“These findings open a new direction to develop high performance and practical cobalt-free nickel-based electrode materials with an extremely simple and cost-effective methodology,” Yabuuchi said. “This material achieved the ultimate goal for high-performance nickel-based electrode materials.”

In future endeavors, the researchers plan to investigate the feasibility of a nickel-free material to support lithium-ion batteries.
