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.

“…With the improvement in the performance and cruising range of electric vehicles, the requirements for the battery management system is also growing. Therefore, a thermal management system based on phase change material or a heat pipe has also been proposed, and many papers have analyzed this thermal management method [22][23][24][25]. There are advantages and disadvantages among the various cooling systems, so the differences between these systems have also been studied and compared [26][27][28][29][30].…”

As the core powertrain component of electric vehicles, batteries release heat when charging and discharging due to the chemical reactions between the battery elements and internal resistance. To avoid problems resulting from abnormal temperatures, such as performance and lifespan issues, an effective battery cooling system is required. This paper presents a fundamental study of battery module liquid cooling through a three-dimensional numerical analysis. CFD numerical tests as conducted here are based on the heat transfer characteristics and on the liquid cooling theory, and the temperature distribution and thermal conductivity are analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively using Simcenter STAR CCM+ version 2016 (Siemens Digital Industries Software, Plano, TX, USA). A simulation uses a square-shell lithium-ion battery-made module with two different liquid cooling systems at different positions of the module. The results of the numerical study indicate that the bottom cooling system shows a better battery module temperature difference that is approximately 80% less than that of the side cooling system. For the side cooling system, it is better in terms of the maximum temperature of the battery module, which is approximately 20% lower than that in the bottom cooling system, but this system does not offer very good control of the temperature difference, which is also its greatest shortcoming compared to the bottom cooling system.

“…One of the keys to solving the current problems of fossil energy exhaustion and environmental pollution lies in energy storage components, which can effectively use existing energy sources and develop new energy sources [ 2 , 3 , 4 ]. As a new type of energy storage device with relatively mature research and application, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have many advantages such as high-power density, good charge/discharge stability, and long cycle life performance [ 5 , 6 ]. Portable electronics, electric automobiles, and hybrid electric vehicles all frequently use LIBs.…”

Tensile Property and Corrosion Performance of Ag Microalloying of Al-Cu Alloys for Positive Electrode Current Collectors of Li-Ion Batteries

The development of a current collector for Li-ion batteries is of great significance for improving the performance of Li-ion batteries. Tensile property and corrosion performance of the positive electrode current collectors are an indispensable prerequisite for the realization of high-performance Li-ion batteries. In our study, the effects of Ag alloying on the microscopic structure, electrical conductivity, tensile property and corrosion resistance of Al-xCu (x = 0.1–0.15%) alloy foils were investigated. Moderate Ag addition on the Al-Cu alloy could reduce the size of second phases and promote the formation of second phases. The tensile strength of the Al-0.1Cu-0.1Ag alloy was higher than that of the Al-0.1Cu alloy at both room and high temperatures. All of the alloy foils demonstrated high electrical conductivity around 58% ICAS. The corrosion potential and corrosion current density of the Al-0.1Cu alloy were demonstrated by Tafel polarization to be −873 mV and 37.12 μA/cm2, respectively. However, the Al-0.1Cu-0.1Ag alloy showed enhanced corrosion resistance after the Ag element was added to the Al-0.1Cu alloy, and the Al-0.1Cu-0.1Ag alloy had a greater positive corrosion potential of −721 mV and a lower corrosion current density of 1.52 μA/cm2, which suggests that the Ag element could significantly improve the corrosion resistance of the Al-Cu alloy.
