“…Liquid cooling has the advantages of larger thermal conductivity, larger specific heat capacity, and compact structure, which make liquid cooling more efficient than other cooling methods. The effect of liquid cooling is more than 3 times that of air cooling. , The disadvantages of liquid cooling are its high cost, the need for a large space, and the need for a large amount of active cooling. In cold regions, liquid heating technology is used for engine starting, and this method is used in the Chevrolet Volt.…”

With the widespread use of lithium-ion batteries, their thermal safety issues are becoming more and more prominent. In combination of the research progress and critical technologies of composite phase change materials, a specific review of the applications based on composite phase change materials in battery thermal management systems is mainly presented. This review introduces the modification and optimization of composite phase change materials and their application in the thermal management system of lithium-ion batteries and focuses on the cooling methods commonly used according to the different materials and systems, which include air cooling, liquid cooling, phase change material cooling, heat pipe cooling, thermoelectric cooling, and a variety of multiple coupling methods. In comparison of the coupled cooling to other individual methods, it can be found that not only the cooling efficiency of the battery can be improved but the uniformity of the surface temperature can also be enhanced, which increases the safety and service life. Finally, the research results and bottlenecks of the battery thermal management system based on composite phase change materials are summarized, and rationalization suggestions are proposed, which have a certain guiding significance for the future direction of the development.

Phase-change materials (PCMs) are extensively employed for battery thermal management, owing to their significant thermal storage capacity and appropriate temperature range. Nevertheless, their limitations in terms of flexibility, thermal conductivity, and susceptibility to leakage restrict their effective temperature control. Here, a kind of flexible and thermally conductive phase-change film (TCPCF) with a two-level heat conduction network is prepared, which is composed of phase-change microparticles and graphene nanosheets in the network of polyurethane. The resulting TCPCF demonstrates remarkable flexibility, sufficient latent heat of 97 J/g, high thermal conductivity of 1.77 W/m•K, and exceptional resistance to leakage (<1%) at 65 °C. Furthermore, TCPCF facilitates effective thermal management of Li-ion batteries (LIBs) in diverse environmental conditions. Specifically, in cold environments, the outstanding photothermal conversion capability of TCPCF expedites the warming of LIBs, resulting in a 15.8% increase in battery capacity. In hot environments, TCPCF can reduce LIBs operating temperatures by 15 °C. Consequently, this research presents a promising strategy for enhancing the thermal management of systems with analogous preheating and heat dissipation needs.

“…The structures of liquid-cooled BTMSs are more complex than air-cooled ones as some components, such as cooling plates with liquid channels and pumps, are added. This may in turn increase the mass, volume, and cost of BTMSs. − Besides, leakage problems may exist in liquid-cooled BTMSs, which could further lead to a short circuit and thermal runaway. BTMSs based on PCM have been more attractive these years due to their advantages in energy-saving and low maintenance cost.…”

With increasing concerns about carbon emissions and the resulting climate impacts, Li-ion batteries have become one of the most attractive energy sources, especially in the transportation sector. For Li-ion batteries, an effective thermal management system is essential to ensure high-efficiency operation, avoid capacity degradation, and eliminate safety issues. Thermal management systems based on heat pipes can achieve excellent cooling performance in limited space and thus have been widely used for the temperature control of Li-ion batteries. In this paper, the thermal management systems of Li-ion batteries based on four types of heat pipes, i.e., flat single-channel heat pipes, oscillating heat pipes, flexible heat pipes, and microchannel heat pipes, are comprehensively reviewed based on the studies in the past 20 years. The effects of different influencing factors on the cooling performance and thermal runaway behavior of Li-ion batteries are thoroughly discussed in order to provide an in-depth understanding for researchers and engineers. It is concluded that for all types of thermal management systems based on heat pipes, water spray cooling could achieve better cooling performance than forced air cooling and water bath cooling, while its energy consumption is obviously smaller than forced air cooling. For thermal management systems based on oscillating heat pipes, improved heat transfer characteristics could be achieved by increasing the number of turns, using a relatively larger inner hydraulic diameter and using a length ratio between the evaporator and condenser higher than 1.0. Heat pipes fabricated by flexible materials suffer from permeation of noncondensable gases from ambient and leakage of working fluid. These issues could be partly resolved by adding thermal vias filled with metallic materials and covering the sealing part with indium coating or designing a multilayered structure with metallic materials in it. Moreover, the limitations and future trends of Li-ion battery thermal management systems based on heat pipes are presented. It is pointed out that the thermal runaway behavior and heating performance of battery thermal management systems based on heat pipes should be further elaborated. The analysis of this paper could provide valuable support for future investigations on Li-ion battery thermal management systems based on heat pipes; it could also guide the choice and design of Li-ion battery thermal management systems based on heat pipes in commercial use.
