Researchers at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT, Chicago, IL) have successfully demonstrated a passive thermal management system using phase change materials (PCM) in Li-ion batteries for electric vehicle and scooter applications. Thermal characterization of Li-ion battery modules using PCM is presented and discussed. In addition, a battery pack design for Plug-In hybrid vehicles (PHEV) is proposed and discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
