“…Finally, the temperature time histories of thermocouples positioned close to the negative and positive tabs on the same LIB cell are captured by 𝑇 2,04 − and 𝑇 2,04 + , respectively. It is observed that the positive tab temperature (𝑇 2,04 + ) is higher than the negative tab temperature (𝑇 2,04 − ), which aligns with findings reported in the literature [23,24,32,34]. The maximum temperature difference between them is approximately 0.6°C.…”

This experimental study investigates the thermal behavior of a 48V lithium-ion battery (LIB) pack comprising three identical modules, each containing 12 prismatic LIB cells, during five charge-discharge cycles. A homogeneous liquid cooling system is applied at the bottom of the modules to control the pack temperature when it reaches 40°C (active cooling phase). The initial two cycles represent passive cooling, where the cooling liquid remains stationary. Temperature distribution is measured and analyzed using 27 thermocouples, providing insights into temperature changes in the cells, modules, pack, and cooling system inlet/outlet. Results show that in passive cooling cycles, minimum temperature occurs at pack surfaces due to better convective heat transfer, while maximum temperature is observed in the central LIB cells. The active cooling phase alters the temperature distribution within the pack. One module is found to be more sensitive to high currents, generating more heat and releasing it faster. Additionally, the positive tab temperature is higher than the negative tab temperature within a single cell. The liquid cooling system decreases the temperature rise from 5.8°C to 3.5°C in the discharge cycles with a constant current of -237A. This study emphasizes the significance of evaluating the thermal behavior of individual modules and highlights the complexity of the LIB pack system, as well as the impact of an indirect liquid cooling system on enhancing its thermal performance.

“…All the battery cells cannot be the same, each cell variation is caused by manufacturing tolerances, aging progress of battery cells, and other factors that influence the lifetime and performance of the battery systems [13]. While designing a BTMs based on hybrid cooling as discussed in [14], it should be structurally rigid to hold the batteries.…”

Batteries are one of the most important components in terms of running an electric vehicle. These batteries generate heat during their charging and discharging process. The performance of such batteries strongly depends on its operating temperature and thus cooling is very much essential for maintaining the battery temperature range between the lower value of 15° C and the higher value of 35° C. When the batteries are in zero charge, due to charging the batteries dissipate more heat due to which batteries can be overheated or even can explode. To keep the battery in an optimum working condition, it needs a proper system to operate it in a nominal temperature range. In this regard, the battery thermal management is very much required for improving the battery performance, their reliability, and thereby increasing the range of the vehicle. This thermal management is employed not only during the vehicle’s running conditions, but also during the charging of the battery. This review paper begins with the discussion on the different types of batteries employed in an electric vehicle, importance of cooling such batteries, different types of cooling and finally giving emphasis to hybrid cooling. Older researchers studied the PCM cooling and its advantages and disadvantages, but there is very little research related to hybrid cooling. So this article also emphasizes that the future research in employing Phase change materials for battery cooling must concentrate on their enhancement of thermal conductivity, thermal stability and inflammable properties.

“…In addition, similar works can be also obtained from the literature. [142][143][144][145] To alleviate the failure of PCM cooling, Liu et al [146] designed a hybrid BTMS by embedding helical tube into PCM module. Benefitting from the high contact area between channels and PCM, the hybrid BTMS achieved desirable cooling efficiency.…”

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.
