Abstract:In response to challenges in the thermal management of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), we investigate the concept of circulating electrolyte through the porous electrodes and separator to facilitate effective, uniform, and real-time temperature regulation. We show, through physics-based electrothermal modeling and dimensional analysis of a single, planar LIB cell, that electrolyte convection can simultaneously draw heat from the cell and suppress heat generation from entropy change, charge-transfer, and ohmic lo… Show more
