“…However, although the thermal conductivity of the CPCMs has been improved to a certain extent, scholars in the application of battery thermal management have found that the CPCMs with thermal conductivity of about 1.3 W/(m·K) cannot effectively improve the cooling performance of the system. They argue that thermal runaway remains in the battery's cycle charge and discharge process 36 . Therefore, to improve the performance of CPCMs in practical applications, a further enhancement plan of the thermal conductivity will be proposed in the following part.…”

The phase change material is currently being regarded as an effective cooling media to be applied in the thermal management of lithium batteries-powered vehicles, in which the inorganic hydrate phase change material is desirable and widely investigated due to the high thermal conductivity, latent heat value, and low cost. However, when applied to thermal energy storage applications, supercooling and phase separation are problematic. To effectively circumvent this issue, this work considers utilizing the disodium hydrogen phosphate dodecahydrate as the matrix of the composite phase change material, as the phase transition temperature is suitable for the battery's operating temperature range. Meanwhile, the nucleating agent sodium metasilicate nonahydrate with similar lattice parameters and the thickener carboxymethyl cellulose are used to suppress the supercooling and eliminate the phase separation, respectively. Effects of nucleating agent, surface modified aluminum nitride, and short-cut carbon fiber on the supercooling degree, and thermal conductivity and curing performance in the phase change material are evaluated and discussed in detail to determine the optimal preparation scheme for Na 2 HPO 4 Á12H 2 O/modified AlN/CF inorganic composite phase change materials. Experimental results show that the addition of 4 wt% Na 2 SiO 3 Á9H 2 O, 4 wt% CMC, 12 wt% modified AlN, and 6 wt% CF reduces the supercooling

“…In addition, similar works can be also obtained from the literature. [142][143][144][145] To alleviate the failure of PCM cooling, Liu et al [146] designed a hybrid BTMS by embedding helical tube into PCM module. Benefitting from the high contact area between channels and PCM, the hybrid BTMS achieved desirable cooling efficiency.…”

The performance of lithium‐ion batteries is quite dependent on temperature and a series of investigations on the battery thermal management system (BTMS) have been reported during the past decades. Herein, the recent developments of BTMS are thoroughly summarized. First, the thermal characteristics of the battery caused by different temperature conditions and temperature nonuniformity are described. Then, the thermal models, including electro‐thermal coupled model and electrochemical–thermal coupled model are briefly presented. Subsequently, various traditional strategies like air cooling, liquid cooling, phase change material (PCM) cooling, and heat pipe cooling are elaborated. With the development of battery technology, BTMS based on a single strategy alone cannot meet the growth of thermal requirements, especially under dynamic and high‐power energy conditions. Hence, a hybrid BTMS that integrates two or more cooling strategies begins to be studied and provide a feasible solution for the problem. The related studies on hybrid BTMS are also systematically reviewed from the perspective of combinations, such as air–PCM, liquid–PCM, heat pipe–PCM, and other hybrid strategies. Besides, the current research on battery preheating strategies is also summarized. Finally, insufficient present studies are pointed out, aiming to provide comprehensive guidance toward the development of battery thermal management.

“…Although the thermal management system plays a minor role in preventing TR, it can inhibit the thermal runaway propagation. Zhang et al 30 combined PCM with a liquid cooling system and verified by numerical analysis that thermal runaway can be avoided in extreme cases. Ma et al 31 designed a mini‐channel cooling system at the cell level and simulated the thermal runaway caused by nail penetration.…”

Summary Cell‐to‐pack (CTP) structure has been proposed for electric vehicles (EVs). However, massive heat will be generated under fast charging. To address the temperature control and thermal uniformity issues of CTP module under fast charging, experiments and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis are carried out for a bottom liquid cooling plate based–CTP battery module. The impact of the channel height, channel width, coolant flow rate, and coolant temperature on the temperature and temperature difference are analyzed. A liquid cooling control method of exchanging the coolant inlet and outlet is proposed to optimize the temperature uniformity. Besides, the temperature uniformity enhancement by this control method at different intervals is compared. Results indicate that the flow rate and temperature positively affect the battery temperature; the maximum temperature can be reduced by 10.93% and 15.12%, respectively, under the same operations. However, the coolant temperature increment increases the maximum temperature difference by about 41.58%. Reversing flow enhances the cooling effect of conventional unidirectional flow of the CTP battery module under fast charging, especially for the thermal uniformity, which provides guidance for the battery thermal management system (BTMS) control under fast charging.
