Phase change materials (PCMs) have recently emerged as a promising passive cooling technology for lithium-ion batteries, offering high latent heat capacity, constant operating temperatures during phase change, and a lightweight compact structure. However, issues like low thermal conductivity restrict heat transfer and necessitate enhancement.
The research on the application of phase change materials used in the battery thermal management is late. In 2004, Al-Hallaj et al firstly applied phase change materials in lithium-ion battery thermal management system of an electric scooter.
The key downside is their low thermal conductivity, which restricts heat transfer rates. The low thermal conductivity hinders both the heat absorption from the battery and its rejection to the ambient, thereby reducing the PCM's effectiveness for battery cooling applications with high heat generation rates or rapid cycling .
When there is time delay or mismatch between producing energy and energy demand, thermal energy storage provides a great solution. Furthermore, phase change materials (PCM) are considered to be promising thermal storage materials for adjusting the time delays associated with energy supply and demand.
Air cooling is a widely used method for thermal management of lithium-ion batteries, particularly in low-power applications . In high-power applications, the high charging and discharging rates of the battery can lead to significant heat generation, which may reduce the battery's efficiency and lifespan if not properly managed.
