Various deactivating methods for lithium-ion cells include electrical discharging or deactivation with liquids. Such methods are also useful for cases where the cell tabs are not accessible. In the literature analyses, different deactivation media are used, but none include the use of calcium chloride (CaCl2) salt. As compared to other media, the major advantage of this salt is that it can capture the highly reactive and hazardous molecules of Hydrofluoric acid. To analyse the actual performance of this salt in terms of practicability and safety, this experimental research aims to compare it against regular Tap Water and Demineralized Water. This will be accomplished by performing nail penetration tests on deactivated cells and comparing their residual energy against each other. Moreover, these three different media and respective cells are analysed after deactivation, i.e., based on conductivity measurements, cell mass, flame photometry, fluoride content, computer tomography and pH value. It was found that the cells deactivated in the CaCl2 solution did not show any signs of Fluoride ions, whereas cells deactivated in TW showed the emergence of Fluoride ions in the 10th week of the insertion. However, with the addition of CaCl2 in TW, the deactivation process &gt; 48 h for TW declines to 0.5\u20132 h, which could be an optimal solution for real-world situations where deactivating cells at a high pace is essential.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23083901","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,12]],"date-time":"2023-04-12T02:08:11Z","timestamp":1681265291000},"page":"3901","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Analysis of Deactivation of 18,650 Lithium-Ion Cells in CaCl2, Tap Water and Demineralized Water for Different Insertion Times"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Katharina","family":"W\u00f6hrl","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt, CARISSMA Institute of Electric, Connected and Secure Mobility (C-ECOS), 85049 Ingolstadt, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2730-4904","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yash","family":"Kotak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt, CARISSMA Institute of Electric, Connected and Secure Mobility (C-ECOS), 85049 Ingolstadt, Germany"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Geisbauer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EDAG Engineering GmbH, 85053 Ingolstadt, Germany"}]},{"given":"S\u00f6nke","family":"Barra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt, CARISSMA Institute of Electric, Connected and Secure Mobility (C-ECOS), 85049 Ingolstadt, Germany"}]},{"given":"Gudrun","family":"Wilhelm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hochschule Aalen, Materials Research Institute, 73430 Aalen, Germany"}]},{"given":"Gerhard","family":"Schneider","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hochschule Aalen, Materials Research Institute, 73430 Aalen, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0184-1322","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hans-Georg","family":"Schweiger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt, CARISSMA Institute of Electric, Connected and Secure Mobility (C-ECOS), 85049 Ingolstadt, Germany"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Kwade, A., and Diekmann, J.
