The purpose of a battery thermal management system (BTMS) is to maintain the battery safety and efficient use as well as ensure the battery temperature is within the safe operating range. The traditional air-cooling-based BTMS not only needs extra power, but it could also not meet the demand of new lithium-ion battery (LIB) packs with high energy density, while liquid cooling BTMS requires complex devices to ensure the effect. Therefore, phase change materials (PCMs)-based BTMS is becoming the trend. By using PCMs to absorb heat, the temperature of a battery pack could be kept within the normal operating range for a long time without using any external power. PCMs could greatly improve the heat dissipation efficiency of BTMS by combining with fillers such as expanded graphite (EG) and metal foam for their high thermal conductivity or coordinating with fins. In addition, PCMs could also be applied in construction materials, solar thermal recovery, textiles and other fields. Herein, a comprehensive review of the PCMs applied in thermal storage devices, especially in BTMS, is provided. In this work, the literature concerning current issues have been reviewed and summarized, while the key challenges of PCM application have been pointed out. This review may bring new insights to the PCM application.

“…Some of the recent studies with regards to thermoelectric cooling showed promising results for keeping lower battery temperatures. [70][71][72][73][74] Some other studies used fins to cool batteries 16,[75][76][77][78][79][80] which needs to consider an optimum number of fins in order to minimize surface areas. Recently, a limited number of studies have been conducted using nanofluids to cool batteries.…”

Lithium-ion batteries are seen as the primary energy storage tools for hybrid electric aircraft. However, the high temperature that occurs in battery modules can lead to a reduction in the capacity of the batteries and may even lead to serious safety issues such as fire. Therefore, it is essential to design an effective and reliable thermal management system to maintain battery temperatures under acceptable thresholds. In this study, a battery management system was designed using Al 2 O 3 nanofluid in different configurations, incorporating two different cooling models based on longitudinal and transverse flow directions, where the battery module consisted of 20 prismatic lithium-ion batteries. The two models were compared in terms of discharge rates, volume fraction values of nanofluid, and inlet velocities, and temperatures of the coolant. Overall, it was evident that the battery module was within the safe temperature range when cooled with the nanofluid, but not air.Novelty Statement: Lithium-ion batteries are seen as primary energy storage tools for hybrid electric aircraft. Thermal analysis of the batteries was performed in three dimensions by taking the bus bars into consideration. Nano fluid cooling was used as an effective way to keep battery temperatures within acceptable ranges.

“…39,40 And that some special devices need to be used in the TES system to improve the performance of PCMs, such as heat pipes, 41 and fins. [42][43][44] But adding these devices will not only increase the costs, but also increase the weight of the system, which severely limits their practical applications. Therefore, researchers have devoted themselves to developing SSPCMs by encapsulating PCMs into microspheres or impregnating PCMs into porous support materials.…”

Phase change materials (PCMs) are usually used in latent thermal energy storage systems to address the mismatch between heat energy supply and demand, due to their high energy storage density, high-latent heat, and almost constant temperature during phase change process. However, the low-thermal conductivity of PCMs and severe leakage during phase change limit their practical applications. Thus, extensive efforts have been devoted to constructing shapestabilized PCMs (SSPCMs). In this review, recent advances of the construction strategies and thermal energy storage applications of SSPCMs are summarized. Especially, the microencapsulated PCMs, SSPCMs based on porous scaffolds, as well as their potential applications are highlighted. Finally, the future perspectives and remaining challenges in this research field are prospected.
