Application of the Thermal Impedance Spectroscopy method in three dimensions to a large prismatic Li-ion cell

Abstract

Thermal impedance spectroscopy (TIS) is applied for the thermal characterization of a large prismatic battery cell. The method is based on previously published work and is extended to a three dimensional system. By using a discretized three dimensional model, the experimental results can be fitted to obtain the specific heat capacity and heat conductivity of the cell in three dimensions. The results show good agreement with the available data in the literature. Suggestions are made to improve the test setup to gain more confidence in the results and to increase the precision of the model. Thermal impedance spectroscopy, Li-ion battery thermal modelling

Meta-analysis of experimental results for heat capacity and thermal conductivity in lithium-ion batteries: A critical review

“…The advantage of transient methods is that more than one thermal parameter can be measured [44]. In the field of lithium-ion cells, thermal impedance spectroscopy is a prominent transient method for measuring the specific heat capacity [45][46][47][48].…”
