“…4 However, the internal chemical reaction of lithium-ion batteries generates heat during the charging and discharging processes, accompanied by an increase in internal resistance, which can degrade the performance of the battery and could even lead to a fire. 5–7 In addition, while we are concerned about the safety of batteries in new energy vehicles, the thermal comfort of the passenger compartment has also become a hot topic that is currently receiving a lot of attention. Direct-cooled battery thermal management systems (D-BTMS) are now recognized as an excellent solution to battery and occupant-compartment problems, and their compactness, energy efficiency, and cooling capacity have made them commercially viable.…”

“…10 When temperature rises to 70 °C or higher, thermal runaway and safety issues may occur. 11 Therefore, a thermal management system is essential to avoid heat accumulation in Li-ion batteries, especially for high-power Li-ion batteries applied to electrified vehicles. The most commonly used cooling techniques in battery thermal management systems (BTMSs) include air cooling, liquid cooling, phase change material (PCM) cooling, heat pipe cooling, and combinations of one or more of these techniques.…”

With increasing concerns about carbon emissions and the resulting climate impacts, Li-ion batteries have become one of the most attractive energy sources, especially in the transportation sector. For Li-ion batteries, an effective thermal management system is essential to ensure high-efficiency operation, avoid capacity degradation, and eliminate safety issues. Thermal management systems based on heat pipes can achieve excellent cooling performance in limited space and thus have been widely used for the temperature control of Li-ion batteries. In this paper, the thermal management systems of Li-ion batteries based on four types of heat pipes, i.e., flat single-channel heat pipes, oscillating heat pipes, flexible heat pipes, and microchannel heat pipes, are comprehensively reviewed based on the studies in the past 20 years. The effects of different influencing factors on the cooling performance and thermal runaway behavior of Li-ion batteries are thoroughly discussed in order to provide an in-depth understanding for researchers and engineers. It is concluded that for all types of thermal management systems based on heat pipes, water spray cooling could achieve better cooling performance than forced air cooling and water bath cooling, while its energy consumption is obviously smaller than forced air cooling. For thermal management systems based on oscillating heat pipes, improved heat transfer characteristics could be achieved by increasing the number of turns, using a relatively larger inner hydraulic diameter and using a length ratio between the evaporator and condenser higher than 1.0. Heat pipes fabricated by flexible materials suffer from permeation of noncondensable gases from ambient and leakage of working fluid. These issues could be partly resolved by adding thermal vias filled with metallic materials and covering the sealing part with indium coating or designing a multilayered structure with metallic materials in it. Moreover, the limitations and future trends of Li-ion battery thermal management systems based on heat pipes are presented. It is pointed out that the thermal runaway behavior and heating performance of battery thermal management systems based on heat pipes should be further elaborated. The analysis of this paper could provide valuable support for future investigations on Li-ion battery thermal management systems based on heat pipes; it could also guide the choice and design of Li-ion battery thermal management systems based on heat pipes in commercial use.

“…In addition to the typical concerns regarding temperature control, battery life can also be negatively impacted by external vibrations produced during operation . Specifically, under high-temperature conditions, inadequate antivibration measures can lead to noticeable damage to the battery structure and significant capacity reduction. − Incorporating appropriate fixtures, such as foam or rubber pads, or other flexible materials during battery assembly can enhance its antivibration performance . Huang et al implemented a phase change packaging framework on a vibrating battery operating at a frequency of 20 Hz .…”

Efficient thermal management is critical to ensure the safe and reliable operation of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) as they are highly sensitive to temperature changes. Meanwhile, LIBs are exposed to various external forces during operation, such as vibration, shock, and oscillation, which may disrupt the physical and chemical processes inside the battery and lead to a decreased performance and shortened life. Here, we designed a phase change hydrogel (PCH) pad based on the polyurethane (PU) foam skeleton and demonstrated its effectiveness in efficient thermal management and improving antivibration performance. The thermal conductivity of the prepared composite is 0.65 W/(m• K), while the thermal contact resistance could decrease to ∼20 K• cm 2 /W under 60 °C. It exhibits a flexible contact transformation during the phase transition, resulting in enhanced interfacial heat transfer and storage rate, as well as improved resistance against external impacts. The temperature of the battery module wrapped with a composite plate decreases by 11.4 °C during the 6C discharge. Moreover, the additional heat generated by external vibration is only half that of the bare battery, and the temperature difference could reach 5.2 °C, demonstrating the effective buffering effect of PCH@PU in mitigating long-term discharge-induced increases in internal resistance. The developed PCH@PU, known for its exceptional thermal management and favorable antivibration performance, holds promising potential for widespread utilization in the field of power battery heat dissipation.
