“…LIB safety has become one of the main topics with regard to passenger safety because LIBs are frequently used in vehicles [4,5]. A thermal management system (TEM) is generally used to prevent overheating [6][7][8], but a short circuit may produce a significant amount heat that may cause thermal runaway [9].…”

“…The theoretically required minimum mass of PCM can be obtained from the equation: Q pcm = mC pcm ( T 1 − T 2 ) + m Δ H , where Q pcm is the heat absorbed by the PCM, T 1 is the melting point, T 2 is the initial temperature, C pcm is the specific heat capacity, and ∆H is the heat of fusion. Rao et al designed a micropipeline liquid‐cooled battery TMS based on PCM from the battery box level as shown in Figure b. The tube that extended into the PCM continuously carried heat, creating a dynamic balance by continuously melting and solidifying and keeping the temperature and temperature difference of the battery pack within a safe range.…”

Thermal energy storage technologies based on phase‐change materials (PCMs) have received tremendous attention in recent years. These materials are capable of reversibly storing large amounts of thermal energy during the isothermal phase transition and offer enormous potential in the development of state‐of‐the‐art renewable energy infrastructure. Thermal conductivity plays a vital role in regulating the thermal charging and discharging rate of PCMs and improving the heat‐utilization efficiency. The strategies for tuning the thermal conductivity of PCMs and their potential energy applications, such as thermal energy harvesting and storage, thermal management of batteries, thermal diodes, and other forms of energy utilization, are summarized systematically. Furthermore, a research perspective is given to highlight emerging research directions of engineering advanced functional PCMs for energy applications.

“…Moreover, additional components of active energy supply such as pumps and fans, which increase energy consumption, are required for air cooling and liquid cooling [26,27]. Thus, passive cooling technology represented by PCM cooling has been considered as the most potential alternative of the above traditional BTM system [28][29][30][31][32]. During the melting/solidifying process, PCM can absorb/release abundant latent heat, leading to a relatively constant temperature of the battery system.…”
