Due to strict regulations and the requirement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, electric vehicles (BEVs) are a promising mode of transportation. The lithium battery is the most important power source for an electric vehicle, but its performance and life are greatly restricted by temperature. To ensure the safety of automobile operation and alleviate mileage anxiety, it is urgent to understand the current situation and predict the development and challenge of battery thermal management system. This work reviews the existing thermal management research in five areas, including cooling and heating methods, modeling optimization, control methods, and thermal management system integration for lithium batteries. Battery thermal management types include air-based, liquid-based, PCM-based, heatpipe-based, and direct cooling. Designing a better battery thermal management system not only needs to be optimized using algorithms on the model but also it uses intelligent algorithms for precise control to achieve safety and reduce energy consumption. This work also reviews the differences in thermal management systems between square and cylindrical batteries and summarizes the development trend of modularity in battery thermal management systems.

Trying to prevent and mitigate carbon emissions and air pollution is one of the biggest challenges for the technological development of the automobile industry. In addition, the automobile industry has stepped up research and field applications of electric vehicles as the European Union encourages the restriction of the use of conventional fuel-powered vehicles such as diesel and gasoline vehicles. However, the cycle life, environmental adaptability, driving range, and charging time of the battery currently used in electric vehicles are far beyond comparison with internal combustion engines. Therefore, studies have focused on batteries, and battery thermal management systems (BTMSs) have been developed. Battery performance is highly dependent on temperature and the purpose of an effective BTMS is to ensure that the battery pack operates within an appropriate temperature range. Ensuring that the battery operates in the appropriate temperature range is vital for both efficiency and safety. To determine the best convenient BTMS for several types of battery packs attached to many factors such as volumetric constraints, installation costs, and working efficiency. The maximum temperature rise and the maximum temperature difference are the basic parameters to analyze the efficiency of the BTMS. Most of the research about thermal management has focused on especially air cooling, liquid cooling, and phase change material (PCM) cooling methods. In this study, different BTMSs (air cooling, liquid cooling, PCM cooling, etc.) were examined and their advantages and disadvantages were compared, usage restrictions in today's technology, requirements, and studies on this subject were reported.

To improve the thermal performance of electric vehicle batteries, a novel cooling system of liquid cold plates coupled with air flow channels (LCP-AFC) for battery thermal management was proposed. Three-dimensional models were established for simulation. The effects of five factors on the heat dissipation of the electric vehicle battery module were studied, which included the battery discharge rate, inlet temperature of cooling liquid, nanofluids, airflow velocity, liquid, and air flow directions. The results showed that the maximum temperature T max and temperature difference ΔT of the battery module under 1 C discharge rate could be reduced by 1.1°C and 0.92°C compared to the single liquid cooling. Comparing the LCP-AFC with single air cooling, the T max and ΔT of the battery module under 4 C discharge rate could be reduced by 18.74°C and 2.71°C. The temperature uniformity of the battery module was not satisfied with the inlet temperature of the cooling liquid, which was lower than 15°C. The heat transfer performance was improved by adding Al, Cu, or Ag nanoparticles into the deionized water. Among them, Ag-water nanofluid had the most significant cooling effect. Parallel flow indicated better thermal performance than cross flow and counter flow. The developed cooling system of LCP-AFC offers a new method to design lithiumion battery thermal management system for controlling temperature distribution of a battery module.
