TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electrochemistry, and in particular to a positive electrode additive composition, a positive electrode slurry comprising the positive electrode additive composition, and a positive electrode sheet comprising the positive electrode additive composition. BACKGROUND
[0002] Lithium ion batteries are widely used in the fields of electronic products and electric vehicles due to their high energy density and long cycle life. Currently, various additives are usually added to the positive electrode to improve the fast charging performance and safety performance of the battery cell.
[0003] Existing additives, such as metal organic framework (MOF) or covalent organic framework (COF) materials, are usually added to the positive electrode slurry in the form of dry powder. MOF or COF has a high specific surface area and strong interaction force, and is easy to form agglomerates, which affects its dispersion in the matrix. In addition, the addition of additive powder in the slurry mixing process can absorb a large amount of solvent, which can cause the viscosity of the slurry to be too high. In order to ensure the appropriate discharge viscosity, more solvent must be added in the subsequent viscosity adjustment stage, and too much solvent will cause the solid content of the slurry to be too low. The low solid content of the slurry requires more solvent to be evaporated during the coating and drying process, which reduces the coating rate and increases the energy consumption of the equipment. At the same time, too low solid content of the slurry can cause quality problems such as edge lifting, coating cracking and adhesive floating during coating, which can reduce the adhesion of the electrode sheet. Therefore, how to solve the problem of easy agglomeration of additive powder material to improve the uniformity and stability of the positive electrode slurry has become a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0033] Of course, implementing any product or method of this application does not necessarily require achieving all of the advantages described above at the same time. Detailed Implementation
[0034] The technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on this application are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0035] The first aspect of this application provides a positive electrode additive composition comprising an additive powder, a dispersant, and a solvent; the additive powder is a metal-organic framework material doped with a metal element, wherein the molecular formula of the metal-organic framework material is M. a Zr6O m (OH) n (OL) 6-(x+y) / 2 (sol) x (blank) y N b, 0≤a≤2.3, 4≤m≤6, 0≤n≤4, 0.09≤x≤0.92, 1.8≤y≤6.02, 0.9≤b≤9.24, preferably, 0.1≤a≤2.3; wherein, M is a metallic element, including at least one of Li, Na, K, Ca, Mg, Cu, Co, Ni, Fe, Cr, Ti, Zn and Mn, OL is a dicarboxylic acid conjugated organic ligand, and sol is selected from acetate, formate, CH3-(CH2). p -COO - Any of the following, 1≤p≤6, blank is a ligand vacancy, and N is a counter ion. For example, the value of 'a' can be 0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.8, 1, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2, 2.3, or a range of any two values; the value of 'x' can be 0.09, 0.15, 0.18, 0.2, 0.22, 0.25, 0.28, 0.3, 3, 0.35, 0.4, 0.45, 0.5, 0.6, 0.65, 0.7, 0.8, 0.85, 0.92, or a range of any two values; the value of 'y' can be 1.8, 2, 2.2, 2.5, 2.6, 2.8, 2.9, 3, 3.2, 3.5, 3.8, 4, 4.2, 4.5, 4.8, 5, 5.2, 5.5, 5.88. The values of b can be 0.9, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 1.9, 2, 2.2, 2.5, 2.8, 3, 3.2, 3.5, 3.8, 4, 4.2, 4.5, 4.8, 5, 5.2, 5.48, 5.5, 5.8, 6, 6.2, 6.55, 6.8, 7.02, 7.55, 8, 8.5, 9.24, or any two of these values; the values of m can be 4, 4.3, 4.6, 5, 5.2, 5.5, 5.8, 6, or any two of these values; the values of n can be 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, or any two of these values.
[0036] Active metal ions (e.g., Li) +In secondary batteries, interfacial migration of active metal ions requires the removal of coordinating solvents. This process necessitates overcoming a high energy barrier of 50 kJ / mol to 70 kJ / mol for interfacial charge transfer. Therefore, compared to bulk transport within the electrode and electrolyte, desolvation is generally considered the main energy-consuming step in the transport of active metal ions. The inventors of this application have discovered that the positive electrode slurry includes a metal-organic framework material doped with the metal element described in this application, and the molar content of the metal element is controlled within the range of this application. On the one hand, the metal-doped metal-organic framework material has a porous structure, which is beneficial for the removal of active metal ions from the outer weakly coordinating solvent. On the other hand, the metal doping sites in the metal-doped metal-organic framework material promote the dissociation of the inner strong coordinating solvent of the active metal ions. This "assembly line" synergistic desolvation mechanism is beneficial for improving the rate of interfacial transport of active metal ions and improving the fast-charging and cycle performance of secondary batteries. Meanwhile, the abundant polar groups on the surface of metal-organic framework materials doped with metal elements have a high affinity for electrolytes, and the porous structure can quickly conduct electrolytes, which is beneficial for the electrolyte to wet the positive electrode.
[0037] 'a' represents the amount of substance of the metal-organic framework material based on metal element doping, specifically the molar content of the metal element. When 'a' is too large, for example, greater than 2.3, some metal elements are adsorbed into the pores of the metal-organic framework material in the form of physical adsorption. During the charging and discharging process of the secondary battery, these metal elements will detach from the pores of the metal-organic framework material and diffuse to the electrode interface with the electric field, catalyzing side reactions such as gas production, which will affect the electrochemical performance of the secondary battery.
[0038] Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline framework materials with intramolecular pores formed by the self-assembly of metal ions or clusters with organic ligands under certain conditions through coordination bonds. Compared with other nanomaterials, MOFs have advantages such as larger specific surface area, tunable pore size and shape, and ease of doping. Activated MOFs can be used as additives in positive electrode slurries to enhance the transport of active metal ions by enabling the interaction between the electrolyte and unsaturated open metal sites, thereby reducing the interfacial resistance of the positive electrode. In addition, monodisperse metals have advantages such as high atom utilization, uniform site structure, and maximized metal-carrier interface, which can provide high-quality active sites for MOFs. Therefore, this application, by loading metal elements into MOFs, endows them with better conductivity, specific surface area, porosity, chemical tunability, active site abundance, and pore structure. Using MOFs within the scope of this application, after loading with metal elements, is beneficial to improving the rate of cross-interfacial transport of active metal ions, thereby improving the fast-charging performance and cycle performance of secondary batteries.
[0039] Zirconium-oxygen cluster nodes in UiO series metal-organic frameworks are typically represented as Zr6O4(OH)4 (i.e., m=4, n=4), a designation widely accepted in the industry. However, during post-processing such as heating and vacuum treatment, the hydroxyl groups at the zirconium-oxygen cluster nodes may dehydrate and partially detach, potentially forming a Zr6O6 structure in extreme cases. Due to limitations in current characterization techniques, the hydroxyl content at the zirconium-oxygen cluster nodes cannot be precisely quantified. Therefore, in this application, the molecular formula of the metal-doped metal-organic framework material is expressed as "M". a Zr6O m (OH) n (OL) 6(x+y) / 2 (sol) x (blank) y N b ", where 0≤a≤2.3, 4≤m≤6, 0≤n≤4, 0.09≤x≤0.92, 1.8≤y≤6.02, and 0.9≤b≤9.24.
[0040] In some embodiments of this application, the molar ratio of Zr to OL in the cathode additive composition is 6:(2.53~5.055), preferably 6:(2.766~4.64), more preferably 6:(2.766~4.266), and even more preferably 6:(2.766~3.69). For example, the molar ratio of Zr to OL can be 6:2.53, 6:2.766, 6:3.5, 6:3.69, 6:4266, 6:4.5, 6:4.64, 6:5.055, or a range of any two of these values. The molar ratio of Zr to OL actually reflects the total defect rate of the material. Controlling the molar ratio of Zr to OL within the range specified in this application helps ensure that the defect rate is within a suitable range, which can promote the removal of coordination solvents from active metal ions, increase the rate of cross-interface transport of active metal ions, improve the fast-charging performance, cycle performance, and low-temperature performance of the secondary battery, and help improve the energy density of the secondary battery.
[0041] In one embodiment of this application, thermogravimetric analysis is used to test the total defect rate Z of the metal-organic framework material doped with metal elements. The defect rate Z is 20% ≤ Z ≤ 53.5%, preferably 30.7% ≤ Z ≤ 53.5%, and more preferably 40% ≤ Z ≤ 53.5%. For example, the value of Z can be 20%, 22%, 25%, 29.6%, 30%, 30.7%, 32%, 34%, 36%, 38%, 40%, 42%, 45%, 47%, 49%, 50%, 53.5%, or a range of any two of these values. Defects are Lewis acid sites, which have strong interactions with the solvent and anions in the electrolyte. By controlling the total defect rate of the metal-organic framework material doped with metal elements within the range of this application, the removal of coordination solvents by active metal ions can be promoted, the rate of cross-interface transport of active metal ions can be increased, and the fast-charging performance and cycle performance of the secondary battery can be improved.
[0042] In one embodiment of this application, solid-state NMR phosphorus spectroscopy is used to determine the unsaturated coordination defect rate K of the metal-organic framework material doped with metal elements. K is 15% ≤ K ≤ 50.1%, preferably 27.1% ≤ K ≤ 50.1%, and more preferably 37% ≤ K ≤ 50.1%. For example, the value of K can be 15%, 18%, 20%, 22%, 25%, 27.1%, 28%, 29%, 30%, 32%, 35%, 37%, 38%, 40%, 42%, 45%, 48%, 49%, 50.1%, or a range of any two of these values. Compared with other types of defects, unsaturated coordination defects have higher activity; exposed unsaturated metal coordination sites have lower steric hindrance and higher site accessibility, which is more conducive to active metal ions (e.g., Li). + During interfacial transport, the coordination solvent is removed. Furthermore, unsaturated coordination sites typically have lower metal valence states, resulting in a charge distribution within the material and a charge transfer path with the substrate that differs significantly from saturated coordination structures. This unique charge distribution and transfer path are more conducive to molecular activation and electron migration, thereby increasing the rate of interfacial transport of active metal ions. Controlling the unsaturated coordination defect rate of metal-organic framework materials doped with metal elements within the range described in this application is beneficial for improving the rate of interfacial transport of active metal ions in secondary batteries, thereby improving the fast-charging performance and cycle performance of secondary batteries.
[0043] In one embodiment of this application, based on the mass of the cathode additive composition, the mass percentage of the additive powder is W1, where 5% ≤ W1 ≤ 30%; the mass ratio of the additive powder to the dispersing agent is 1:0.01~0.5. For example, the mass percentage of the metal-doped metal-organic framework material can be 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, or any two of these values; the mass ratio of the additive powder to the dispersing agent can be 1:0.01, 1:0.1, 1:0.2, 1:0.3, 1:0.4, 1:0.5, or any two of these values. Controlling the mass percentage of the metal-doped metal-organic framework material within the range specified in this application is beneficial for promoting the metal-doped metal-organic framework material to remove lithium-ion coordination solvents, improving the rate of lithium-ion cross-interface transport, and improving the fast-charging performance and cycle performance of the secondary battery.
[0044] In some embodiments of this application, the counter ion includes PO4. 3- NO3 - Cl - SO4 2- ,Br - F - And any one of acetylacetonate. Based on their charge characteristics, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be classified into cationic frameworks, anionic frameworks, and neutral frameworks. Counterions are weakly bound to MOFs through non-covalent interactions and are essential for maintaining the charge neutrality of MOF materials. In this application, the metal-doped MOF material consists of a cationic framework and counterions. For the cationic framework of the metal-doped MOF material in this application, the counterions can originate from the MOF material preparation process or from the metal element loading process.
[0045] In one embodiment of this application, the dispersing agent includes at least one selected from polyvinylpyrrolidone, hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber, poly(ε-caprolactone), polyethylene, polyethylene glycol, and polyhydroxyethyl methacrylate. The cathode additive composition includes dispersing agents within the scope of this application, and the mass percentage of the dispersing agent is controlled within the range of this application. This helps to reduce the agglomeration of the additive powder, ensuring uniform dispersion of the metal-organic framework material doped with metal elements in the cathode additive composition, thereby improving the uniformity and stability of the cathode slurry.
[0046] In one embodiment of this application, the positive electrode additive composition further includes a dehydrating agent, wherein the mass ratio of the dehydrating agent to the additive powder is 0.01 to 0.5:1. For example, the mass ratio of the dehydrating agent to the additive powder can be 1:0.01, 1:0.1, 1:0.2, 1:0.3, 1:0.4, 1:0.5, or any two of these values. The dehydrating agent includes at least one of hexamethyldisilazane, heptamethyldisilazane, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, diisopropylcarbodiimide, trimethylsilyl isocyanate, and tert-butyl isocyanate. The positive electrode additive composition includes a dehydrating agent within the scope of this application, and controlling the mass percentage of the dehydrating agent within this scope effectively removes moisture from the additive composition, thereby reducing the obstruction of moisture to electron transport and lithium-ion migration, improving the charge and discharge efficiency of the battery, enabling the battery to charge and discharge quickly, enhancing high-rate charge and discharge performance, and reducing internal side reactions, allowing the battery to maintain a high capacity retention rate after multiple cycles.
[0047] In one embodiment of this application, the solvent includes at least one selected from N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, triethylene glycol dimethyl ether, and tetrahydrofuran.
[0048] In one embodiment of this application, the specific surface area of the additive powder is 400 m². 2 / g to 1040m 2 / g. For example, the specific surface area of the additive powder can be 400m². 2 / g、500m 2 / g、600m 2 / g、700m 2 / g、800m 2 / g、900m 2 / g, 1000m 2 / g、1040m 2 / g or a range consisting of any two of these values. A specific surface area of the additive powder within the above range is beneficial for constructing suitable pore sizes, promoting the removal of coordination solvents from active metal ions, increasing the rate of cross-interface transport of active metal ions, and improving the fast-charging and cycle performance of secondary batteries.
[0049] In one embodiment of this application, the average particle size of the metal-doped metal-organic framework material is 20 nm to 110 nm, preferably 64 nm to 80 nm. For example, the average particle size of the metal-doped metal-organic framework material can be 20 nm, 40 nm, 60 nm, 80 nm, 100 nm, 110 nm, or any combination of two of these values. Limiting the average particle size of the metal-doped metal-organic framework material to the range specified in this application is beneficial for increasing the surface exchange sites per unit mass of the metal-doped metal-organic framework material, promoting the removal of coordination solvents by active metal ions, improving the rate of cross-interface transport of active metal ions, and improving the overall performance of the secondary battery.
[0050] When the particle size of a material is too large, the bulk diffusion pathways of its ions / molecules increase significantly, resulting in slow mass transfer kinetics; simultaneously, the specific surface area decreases sharply, leading to insufficient effective surface reaction sites. Both of these factors jointly limit the material's performance. Correspondingly, larger particle sizes generally mean higher crystallinity and a more complete structure, thus resulting in a lower total defect rate, especially a scarcity of highly reactive unsaturated coordination defects. When the particle size is too small, on the one hand, the surface energy is too high, making agglomeration highly likely, which reduces the effective surface area; on the other hand, excessively high defect density (especially a large number of unsaturated coordination defects) may disrupt the long-range ordered structure of the material, leading to decreased structural stability and potentially inducing the continuous occurrence of side reactions. Therefore, while small particle size and significantly increased total defect rate and unsaturated coordination defect rate are present, the risks of agglomeration and structural instability are also introduced. In one embodiment of this application, the molecular skeleton of the dicarboxylic acid conjugated organic ligand includes any one of phenyl, pyridinyl, and imidazolyl groups. When the molecular skeleton of the dicarboxylated conjugated organic ligand is selected from imidazole and pyridinyl groups, the ligand skeleton itself contains heteroatoms, which is beneficial for regulating the polarity of the pore walls of the metal-doped metal-organic framework material. This enhances the interaction between the pore walls and lithium ions, solvents, and anions in the electrolyte, promotes the dissociation of these three components within the pores, and thus improves the migration efficiency of lithium ions. In one embodiment of this application, the molecular skeleton of the dicarboxylated conjugated organic ligand is selected from phenyl groups, and the dicarboxylated conjugated organic ligand includes a functional group X, which includes any one of amino, hydroxyl, mercapto, methoxy, nitro, fluorine, and chlorine groups. Introducing functional group X into the metal-doped metal-organic framework material, and controlling the type of functional group X within the scope of this application, is beneficial for regulating the polarity of the pore walls of the metal-doped metal-organic framework material, thereby enhancing the interaction between the pore walls and lithium ions, solvents, and anions in the electrolyte, promoting the dissociation of these three components within the pores, and thus improving the migration efficiency of lithium ions.
[0051] In this application, the dicarboxylated conjugated organic ligand is selected from at least one of the following substances:
[0052] (1) When the functional group X is an amino group, the dicarboxylic acid conjugated organic ligand includes at least one of 2-aminoterephthalate, 2,5-diaminoterephthalate, 2,3-diaminoterephthalate, 2,3,5-triaminoterephthalate and 2,3,4,5-tetraaminoterephthalate; preferably at least one of 2-aminoterephthalate and 2,5-diaminoterephthalate.
[0053] (2) When the functional group X is a hydroxyl group, the dicarboxylic acid conjugated organic ligand includes at least one of 2-hydroxyterephthalate, 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalate, 2,3-dihydroxyterephthalate, 2,3,5-trihydroxyterephthalate and 2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxyterephthalate;
[0054] (3) When the functional group X is a thiol group, the dicarboxylic acid conjugated organic ligand includes at least one of 2-mercaptoterephthalate, 2,5-dimercaptoterephthalate, 2,3-dimercaptoterephthalate, 2,3,5-trimercaptoterephthalate and 2,3,4,5-tetramercaptoterephthalate;

[0081] Example:
[0082] The embodiments and comparative examples provided below illustrate the implementation of this application in more detail. Various tests and evaluations were conducted according to the methods described below. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, "parts" and "%" are quality standards.
[0083] Test methods and equipment:
[0084] Molar content test of metal elements in metal-organic framework materials doped with metal elements:
[0085] The contents of the framework metal Zr and the metal element M in the metal-doped metal-organic framework material were determined using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The molar ratio of metal element M to Zr in the metal-doped metal-organic framework material was calculated and denoted as d. Based on the amount of substance of the metal-doped metal-organic framework material, the molar content of the metal element is represented by r, r = 6d. Specific procedures: Digestion was performed using BVIII grade nitric acid. 20 mg of sample and 15 mL of nitric acid were added to a polytetrafluoroethylene beaker, and the mixture was heated at 80°C for 20 min. After the solvent evaporated and approximately 2 mL remained, 15 mL of nitric acid was added, and heating continued for approximately 20 min. This process of adding nitric acid was repeated until the solid was completely dissolved and the residual liquid was clear and transparent. Acid removal was then initiated, and the mixture was diluted with ultrapure water before injection.
[0086] Total defect rate Z-test for metal-organic framework materials doped with metal elements:
[0087] The total defect rate of metal-organic framework materials doped with metal elements was tested using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in a temperature range of 50℃-600℃, a heating rate of 3℃ / min, and an air atmosphere.
[0088] The results were processed as follows: The mass of the remaining material (zirconia-M) from the TGA test at 600℃ was used as a baseline, and normalization was performed, recorded as 100%. Under ideal conditions, in defect-free metal-organic framework materials, the chemical formula of the metal-organic framework material at 350°C is M. m O m / 2 Zr6O6(OL)6, the corresponding standardized weight is N (%), N (%) = MA (M m O m / 2 Zr6O6 (OL)6) / MA(6ZrO2+ M m O m / 2 ) )×100%, where MA(M m O m / 2 Zr6O6(OL)6) represents 1 mol M m O m / 2 The mass of Zr6O6(OL)6, MA(6ZrO2+ M m O m / 2 () represents 6 mol ZrO2 and 1 mol M m O m / 2The sum of the masses. At 350°C, the normalized weight of the metal-organic framework material doped with defective metal elements is less than N%, indicating that the internal OL connectors of the metal-organic framework material doped with defective metal elements are insufficient. The total defect rate is calculated using the formula: (w%(350°C)-100%) / (N-100%)=1-Z, where w%(350°C) is the normalized weight of the metal-organic framework material doped with defective metal elements at 350°C, i.e., w%(350°C) = weight of the remaining material at a test temperature of 350°C / weight of the remaining material at a test temperature of 600°C, and Z is the total defect rate of the metal-organic framework material doped with metal elements.
[0089] Test of the unsaturated coordination defect rate K of metal-organic frameworks doped with metal elements:
[0090] The unsaturated coordination defect rate K of metal-doped metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) was measured using solid-state NMR phosphorus spectrometry.

Defects in the metal-doped MOFs were labeled and identified using TMPO. The unsaturated coordination defect rate of the metal-doped MOFs was measured using a Bruker Avance NEO 600 MHz NMR spectrometer. A 3.2 mm MAS probe was used, with a rotation speed of 15 or 18 kHz. 31 The P signal was calibrated using the NH4H2PO4 signal. Peak fitting was performed on the data between 1 and 100 using Origin, and the fitted R value was... 2 ≥99.8%. The peaks near chemical shifts 62, 58, 55, and 53 represent Zr-blank, μ-OH(OL), μ-OH(sol), and Zr-sol sites, respectively. Zr-blank indicates an unsaturated coordination defect; μ-OH(OL) indicates a bridged hydroxyl group adjacent to the OL organic ligand; μ-OH(sol) indicates a bridged hydroxyl group adjacent to a coordination defect in a small molecule; and Zr-sol indicates a coordination defect in a small molecule. The relative proportions of the corresponding species can be obtained based on the peak area percentages.

[0098] (2) Under the same instrument conditions, the response value of zirconium ions in the test solution is measured, and the mass concentration (ug / mL) of the zirconium ions in the test solution is found on the standard curve. From this, the molar amount of Zr in the diaphragm can be calculated.

When the content of metal-organic framework material doped with metal elements in the cathode additive composition is too small, such as in Comparative Examples 1-4, although the cathode additive composition also has a low viscosity change rate and solid content difference, it is not conducive to the subsequent preparation of the cathode electrode sheet. When the content of metal-organic framework material doped with metal elements in the cathode additive composition is too small, there is more solvent in the cathode additive composition, the cost of the cathode additive composition increases, and it will also lead to the cathode slurry discharge having too low solid content, making coating difficult.

[0148] As can be seen from Examples 1, 1-21 to 1-22 and Comparative Examples 1-2 and 1-3, by adjusting the mass ratio of additive powder to dispersant within the range of this application, the discharge viscosity and viscosity after standing for 3 months of the positive electrode additive composition can be moderate, and the difference in solid content between the upper and lower layers after standing for 3 months of the composition is small, indicating that the positive electrode additive composition has good uniformity and stability.
[0149] The dehydrating agent can effectively remove moisture from the additive composition, reducing residual moisture during the positive electrode homogenization process. This reduces side reactions during battery charging and discharging, allowing the battery to maintain a high capacity retention rate after multiple cycles. As can be seen from Examples 1-23 to 1-24, by adjusting the mass ratio of additive powder to dehydrating agent within the range of this application, the discharge viscosity and the viscosity after standing for 3 months of time of the positive electrode additive composition can be made moderate, and the difference in solid content between the upper and lower layers after standing for 3 months is small, indicating that the positive electrode additive composition has good dispersibility and stability.
[0150] As can be seen from Examples 1-1, 1-25 and 1-26, by adjusting the specific surface area of the metal-organic framework material doped with metal elements within the range of this application, the discharge viscosity and the viscosity after standing for 3 months of the cathode additive composition can be moderate, and the difference in solid content between the upper and lower layers after standing for 3 months of the composition is small, indicating that the cathode additive composition has good uniformity and stability.
[0151] As can be seen from Examples 2-1 to 2-3, Examples 3-1 to 3-3 and Comparative Example 3-1, the positive electrode sheet containing the positive electrode additive composition of this application has a high electrical conductivity and a low heat release, indicating that the battery containing the positive electrode sheet of this application has good electrical performance and flame retardant performance, and the severity of thermal runaway is small, with a low risk of explosion / combustion.
