Description

Dataset of internal temperature and gas pressure in cylindrical lithium-ion cells during thermal runaway Co-Submission of same title Paper to Data in Brief Journal. This paper presents an experimental dataset characterising three Sony VTC6A cells subjected to thermal runaway conditions. Each cell was instrumented with pressure transducers and thermocouples embedded within the cell core. The progression of cell failure was monitored by tracking several parameters: cell voltage, internal gas pressure, surface temperatures measured 10 mm from both the negative and positive terminals, surface and internal temperatures at the axial midpoint, and vent temperatures recorded at 5 mm and 10 mm from the vent cap on the positive terminal. These measurements were captured during the pre-vent, soft-vent, and flame generation/explosion phases.
