A battery thermal management system (BTMS) plays a significant role in the thermal safety of a power lithium-ion battery. Research on phase change materials (PCMs) for a BTMS has drawn wide attention and has become the forefront of this scientific field. Several evident limitations exist in pure PCMs, such as poor thermal conductivity and low structural stability, while porous materials could reinforce PCMs for their superior thermal performance and robustness. Most related existing reviews focused on the thermal performances of a lithium-ion BTMS by different cooling methods. However, the thermal properties of porous materials and those based composite phase change materials (CPCMs) have not been summarized, which have much influence on the thermal management effect of battery modules. Thus, research on porous-material-based CPCMs used for a lithium-ion BTMS were reviewed in this paper. The kinds of PCMs and porous materials commonly used in a lithium-ion BTMS were introduced, and the thermophysical properties and robustness of porous-material-based CPCMs were systematically analyzed. Furthermore, the thermal management effects of a porous-materialbased CPCM on a lithium-ion battery were summarized. We discussed the enhancement effects on PCMs and the advantages and limitations of various porous materials commonly used in a lithium-ion BTMS. Finally, on the basis of the current research, this paper concluded the requirement of porous material for a CPCM in a lithium-ion BTMS and the expected future research directions of porous material, including looking for a potential porous carrier, intensifying heat transfer, and enhancing anti-vibration performance.

Due to strict regulations and the requirement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, electric vehicles (BEVs) are a promising mode of transportation. The lithium battery is the most important power source for an electric vehicle, but its performance and life are greatly restricted by temperature. To ensure the safety of automobile operation and alleviate mileage anxiety, it is urgent to understand the current situation and predict the development and challenge of battery thermal management system. This work reviews the existing thermal management research in five areas, including cooling and heating methods, modeling optimization, control methods, and thermal management system integration for lithium batteries. Battery thermal management types include air-based, liquid-based, PCM-based, heatpipe-based, and direct cooling. Designing a better battery thermal management system not only needs to be optimized using algorithms on the model but also it uses intelligent algorithms for precise control to achieve safety and reduce energy consumption. This work also reviews the differences in thermal management systems between square and cylindrical batteries and summarizes the development trend of modularity in battery thermal management systems.

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have the advantages of high specific power, good stability, and zero emissions, making them clean and efficient energy conversion devices. Water management is one of the technical challenges limiting the development of PEMFC, with liquid water blocking the pores and increasing the resistance to mass transport. In this paper, a two-dimensional (2D) multiphase lattice Boltzmann (LB) model is developed to obtain the liquid water morphology within the gas diffusion layer (GDL). A 2D multicomponent flow Lattice Boltzmann model considering electrochemical reactions is established to investigate the effects of water saturation, activation overpotential, and pressure difference between the inlet and outlet gas channels on mass transport. At high water saturation, the liquid water forms water films within the GDL preventing reactive gas transport and water vapor are blocked near the catalyst layer making it difficult to remove. The PEMFC can achieve higher current densities at high activation overpotentials, but oxygen starvation will be exacerbated. Increasing the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet gas passages effectively increases the oxygen concentration and reduces the water vapor concentration in the GDL. The present study improves the understanding of the effect of GDL microstructure on mass transport and performance of PEMFC from the mesoscopic scale.
