In this work, the expanded vermiculite/poly(ethylene glycol)–boron nitride (E/PB-X) shape-stabilized composite phase-change materials with the encapsulation capacity of ∼66.16 wt % were prepared by a typical vacuum impregnation method to overcome liquid leakage during phase transition and poor thermal conductivity during heat transfer of poly(ethylene glycol). It was found that the boron nitride showed a great influence on the heat transfer and heat storage of E/PB-X. The thermal conductivity of E/PB-X was 0.45–0.49 W/(m·K), indicating that the heat transfer of E/PB-X was significantly enhanced by the dispersed boron nitride fillers, which was mainly attributed to the reduction of interfacial thermal resistance and the formation of rapid thermally conductive channels. However, the latent heat (∼55.76 J/g) of E/PB-X decreased with the increase in the boron nitride content, revealing that the heat storage behavior of E/PB-X was strongly affected by the confinement of surface interactions of boron nitride and expanded vermiculite, which was consistent with the crystallization behavior determined by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) results. Moreover, the spectroscopy (FT-IR) and thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) results confirmed that E/PB-X exhibited excellent chemical compatibility and thermal stability, respectively, which were conducive to practical heat storage applications.

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.

“…Currently, the low‐temperature thermal management of Li‐ion battery on the market is still achieved by using active preheating method, like air heating, liquid heating, and electrothermal element heating. [ 183 ] For example, Fan et al [ 184 ] numerically investigated the effects of heat plate on the temperature response of battery pack at −20 °C environment. They pointed out that the internally generated heat of batteries was negligible in comparison to the external heating source.…”

Recent Developments of Thermal Management Strategies for Lithium‐Ion Batteries: A State‐of‐The‐Art Review

The performance of lithium‐ion batteries is quite dependent on temperature and a series of investigations on the battery thermal management system (BTMS) have been reported during the past decades. Herein, the recent developments of BTMS are thoroughly summarized. First, the thermal characteristics of the battery caused by different temperature conditions and temperature nonuniformity are described. Then, the thermal models, including electro‐thermal coupled model and electrochemical–thermal coupled model are briefly presented. Subsequently, various traditional strategies like air cooling, liquid cooling, phase change material (PCM) cooling, and heat pipe cooling are elaborated. With the development of battery technology, BTMS based on a single strategy alone cannot meet the growth of thermal requirements, especially under dynamic and high‐power energy conditions. Hence, a hybrid BTMS that integrates two or more cooling strategies begins to be studied and provide a feasible solution for the problem. The related studies on hybrid BTMS are also systematically reviewed from the perspective of combinations, such as air–PCM, liquid–PCM, heat pipe–PCM, and other hybrid strategies. Besides, the current research on battery preheating strategies is also summarized. Finally, insufficient present studies are pointed out, aiming to provide comprehensive guidance toward the development of battery thermal management.
