Thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries represents a critical safety challenge, particularly in high-voltage battery systems used in electric vehicles and stationary energy storage. A comprehensive understanding of the multi-scale processes that initiate and propagate thermal runaway is essential for the development of effective safety measures and design strategies. This study provides a structured theoretical overview of the thermal runaway phenomenon across four hierarchical levels: electrode, single cell, module, and high-voltage battery system. At the electrode level, thermal runaway initiation is linked to electrochemical and chemical degradation mechanisms such as solid electrolyte interphase decomposition, separator breakdown, and internal short circuits. These processes lead to highly exothermic reactions that, at the cell scale, can result in rapid temperature increases, gas generation, and overpressure. On the module and system levels, thermal runaway can propagate through
