Summary With the latent heat, the phase change material (PCM) is widely used in battery thermal management (BTM) to control the temperature. In this paper, the porous medium is employed to enhance the heat transfer of PCM. The lattice Boltzmann model for PCM/porous medium in pore scale is considered, where the mesh system with porous medium (fixed point) is generated by quartet structure generation set (QSGS) method. The effects of the Rayleigh number and porosity on the heat transfer process in BTM are investigated. The results show that decreasing the porosity will accelerate the melting rate. When the porosities are 0.9, 0.8, 0.7, and 0.6, the total melting times are decreased by 23.7%, 43.3%, 58.0%, and 75.4%, compared with pure PCM. The heat is transferred through the high‐conductivity framework. The natural convection in the porous medium is weak, and the conduction is the dominated heat transfer. As a result, the area of solid–liquid interface will be increased, and the heat‐transferred rate is accelerated. However, when the Rayleigh number is raised to 105, applying the porous medium with porosity of 0.9 will increase the total melting time, resulted from the stronger natural convection of PCM. The present study is helpful for design of PCM/porous medium‐based BTM.

Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) are the key power source for electric vehicles (EVs). Battery thermal management system (BTMS) is essential to ensure safety and extend service life of LIBs. This paper reviews the various refrigeration materials used in the BTMS in EVs, including liquid coolant, phase change material (PCM). The thermal properties of these refrigerant materials are summarized and the innovative ways to improve the cooling efficiency of the BTMS are analyzed. The various ways to enhance the battery’s thermal performance by modifying the materials of the electrode, separator, and electrolyte are also reviewed. Finally, the research prospect in area of BTMS is summarized. This review will inspire new BTMS design and further improvement in battery safety and performance with the aid of advanced intelligent technologies.

“…Their results showed that the CPCM could significantly reduce the average temperature and improve temperature uniformity of a battery pack. Huang et al [252] investigated the cooling effectiveness of CPCM on the thermal response of a battery under overcharge condition and found that the battery cooled down remarkably as compared to the natural convection condition when CPCM was attached to the pouch battery. Ling et al [253] compared two CPCMs, a highly thermal conductive 60 wt.% RT44HC/EG composite and a 60 wt.% RT44HC/fumed silica composite with a lower thermal conductivity.…”

A Review on the Thermal Hazards of the Lithium-Ion Battery and the Corresponding Countermeasures

et al. 2019

As one of the most promising new energy sources, the lithium-ion battery (LIB) and its associated safety concerns have attracted great research interest. Herein, a comprehensive review on the thermal hazards of LIBs and the corresponding countermeasures is provided. In general, the thermal hazards of the LIB can be caused or aggravated by several factors including physical, electrical and thermal factors, manufacturing defect and even battery aging. Due to the activity and combustibility of traditional battery components, they usually possess a relatively high thermal hazard and a series of side reactions between electrodes and electrolytes may occur under abusive conditions, which would further lead to the thermal failure of LIBs. Besides, the thermal hazards generally manifest as the thermal runaway behaviors such as high-temperature, ejection, combustion, explosion and toxic gases for a single battery, and it can even evolve to thermal failure propagation within a battery pack. To decrease these hazards, some countermeasures are reviewed including the application of safety devices, fire-retardant additives, battery management systems, hazard warnings and firefighting should a hazard occur.
