ABSTRACT

This dissertation investigates two main topics: enhancing the safety of lithium-ion batteries by using ethoxy(pentafluoro)cyclotriphosphazene (PFPN) additives, and implementing educational reforms in safety science and engineering curricula to integrate these state-of-the-art safety approaches. With the increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries, there is a corresponding need for enhanced safety measures to mitigate potential hazards such as thermal runaway and explosions. This research uses differential scanning calorimetry and adiabatic acceleration calorimetry to conduct thorough thermal stability evaluations. The primary objective is to improve comprehension of battery safety and also provide a significant example for educational reform. The text advocates for a revised curriculum that prioritizes practical, safety-focused instruction and experiential learning that mirrors actual chemical engineering problems in the real world. The suggested educational reforms seek to provide students with a comprehensive comprehension of both theoretical and practical aspects of safety Science and Engineering, hence enhancing their readiness for the intricacies of contemporary battery technologies. This dissertation presents a plan for incorporating practical safety solutions into chemical engineering education, demonstrating the advantages of combining academic progress with improvements in instructional methods.
Keywords: Ethoxy(pentafluoro)cyclotriphosphazene, Implementing educational reforms, Safety science and engineering, Thermal runaway, Differential scanning calorimetry
