Summary Many researchers have focused on liquid‐cooled devices with simple structure and high efficiency, which promoted the gradual development of the mini‐channel liquid‐cooled plate battery thermal management system (BTMS), due to the advancement of liquid cooling technology. This paper has proposed an electrochemical‐thermal coupling model to numerically predict the thermal behavior of the battery pack in different parameters of mini‐channel cold plates and optimize the parameter combinations. The effects of cooling plate width, mini‐channel interval, and inlet mass flow rate on the heat dissipation performance of the system were analyzed at a constant C‐rate to provide a reliable experimental basis for the optimization model. Results indicate that increasing the cold plate width and the inlet mass flow rate reduce the temperature and temperature gradients. In addition, the minimum temperature difference is obtained at the mini‐channel interval of 6 mm. The optimum cooling plate width (90 mm), mini‐channel interval (4 mm), and inlet mass flow rate (80 g/s) are determined using the orthogonal test, analysis of variance, and comprehensive analysis of multi‐index results. The addition of an auxiliary cooling system based on the optimized combination further reduces the maximum temperature and temperature difference of the battery pack by 4.9% and 9.2%, respectively. The developed strategy and methods can further improve the performance of the BTMS and provide a reference for the development of a compact battery pack at high discharge rates for engineering applications.

Summary The present research proposes a combined framework that evaluates remaining capacity, material behavior, ions concentration of remaining metals, and current rate of chemical reactions of spent Li‐ion batteries accurately. Voltage, temperature, internal resistance, and capacity were studied during charging and discharging cycles. Genetic programming was applied on the obtained data to develop a model to predict remaining capacity. The results of experimental work and those estimated from model were found to be correlated, confirming the validation of model. Materials structure and electrochemical behavior of electrodes during cycles were studied by cyclic voltammetry, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersion spectrum.

Summary The power battery as an indispensable part of electric vehicle has attracted much attention in recent years. Among these, the lithium‐ion battery is the most important option due to the high energy density, good stability, and low discharge rate. However, the thermal safety problem of lithium‐ion battery cannot be ignored. Therefore, it is very necessary to explore an effective thermal management system for battery module. Here, a thermal silica cooling plate‐aluminate thermal plate (SCP‐ATP) coupling with forced convection air cooling system as a thermal management system is proposed for improving the cooling performance of pouch battery module. The results reveal that the heat dissipating performance and temperature uniformity of pouch battery module with SCP‐ATP are greatly improved compared with other thermal management systems. Moreover, the highest temperature can be controlled below 50°C, and the temperature differences can be maintained with 3°C when the SCP‐ATP coupling forced convection is utilized to enhance the heat transfer coefficient. Furthermore, considering the cooling effectiveness and consumption cost comprehensively, the optimal air velocity of the SCP‐ATP coupling forced convection cooling system is 9 m/s. In addition, the SCP‐ATP filling with different proportions of acetone has also been investigated for pouch battery module, indicating that 50% acetone exhibited a better heat transfer effect than the 30% one. Therefore, this research would provide a significant value in the design and optimization of thermal management systems for battery module.
