Summary: Thermal management is crucial for lithium-ion batteries due to their heat generation during high-rate charging and discharging. This paper presents a novel manifold immersion (MI) cooling structure inspired by the microchannel structure for chip cooling. Numerical simulation models are used for optimization analysis. The results reveal that the MI cooling structure requires high heat transfer on the lateral surface of batteries rather than the bottom or baffle surface. The cooling capacity is greatly influenced by design parameters such as manifold channel length and battery spacing channel width. Stable wall jet flows contribute to better thermal load and temperature uniformities. The optimized MI cooling structure achieves a maximum temperature of 35.06 degrees C with good temperature uniformity for a lithium-ion battery pack.

Summary: Modern society relies on energy storage systems such as Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, which are sensitive to temperature changes. This study aims to improve the performance of Li-ion batteries by reducing operational temperatures through a novel design of an efficient air-cooling system. The results indicate that increasing air inlet velocity significantly reduces the average air temperature and temperature difference of the battery cells, while the average heat transfer rate of the cooling pack increases monotonically.

Summary: The specific merits and demerits of side-cooling and terminal-cooling structures in liquid-based battery thermal management systems are compared. It is found that the side-cooling structure has better temperature rise control but poorer temperature uniformity.

Summary: In this study, a battery module consisting of sixteen 38120-type lithium-ion batteries was immersed in mineral oil to investigate the cooling effectiveness under various conditions. The results showed that increasing battery spacing and coolant flow rate can effectively reduce the temperature rise of the battery module. However, increasing flow rate also imposes restriction on the cooling efficiency due to pressure drop. The findings provide insights into the oil-immersed battery cooling system and may stimulate further development of BTMSs based on immersion cooling.

Summary: A multi-physics model is developed for micro heat pipe battery thermal management system (MHP-BTMS) considering battery aging effect. A novel multi-variables global optimization framework is established for optimizing the structural parameters of MHP-BTMS to improve battery thermal management and electrochemical performance simultaneously. The research finds that MHP-BTMS fails to control the temperature of aged battery pack due to the higher heat generation caused by solid electrolyte interphase formation. Additionally, the study shows that battery electrochemical performance is highly related to battery thermal behaviors.

Summary: The study developed a comprehensive electro-thermal model for cylindrical lithium-ion cells, showing that increasing the number of tabs connecting the jellyroll to the base can reduce internal thermal gradient by up to 25.41%. Side cooling was found to be more effective than base cooling at removing heat, with both methods resulting in similar thermal gradients within the cell. The modeling framework created is an essential tool for energy storage system design.

Summary: Managing temperature of lithium-ion cells in battery packs is crucial for their safe operation. Traditional cell datasheets lack sufficient thermal information to determine thermal management capability. This study introduces the Cell Cooling Coefficient (CCC) as a metric for defining thermal dissipation from a cell when rejecting its own heat. The study successfully defines and measures the CCC for cylindrical cells under base cooling, and evaluates the CCCBase of LG M50T (21700) and Samsung 30Q (18650).

Summary: This research uses a combined cooling method for the thermal management of lithium-ion batteries, combining flow boiling cooling via half-helical tubes wrapped around batteries with air-cooling method via air flow passing through the batteries. Numerical modeling was conducted using control volume technique, and the Eulerian-Eulerian multiphase model was used to model the flow boiling region. The results showed that the combined cooling method significantly improved thermal management of the battery pack, with flow boiling inside the helical tubes contributing to efficient heat removal and maintaining nearly constant battery temperature.

Summary: Battery geometry plays an important role in determining battery capacity and thermal behavior. This study investigates the changes in thermal behavior of lithium-ion batteries by altering the geometry, specifically the length to diameter ratio. Three different geometries, large (LG), datum (DG), and small (SG), with l/d ratios of 5.25, 3.61, and 2.38 respectively, are considered. A 3D thermal model is used and numerical results are validated against experimental data. Average battery temperature and temperature heterogeneity are thoroughly examined for three different cooling approaches, and it is found that DG exhibits the lowest average temperature, LG has the lowest radial temperature heterogeneity, and SG has a faster cooling rate.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of radiative heat transfer and surface emissivity of internal partitions on thermal runaway onset and propagation in a Li-ion battery pack during transportation/storage. It is found that the emissivity of internal partitions plays a key role in determining whether thermal runaway occurs or not, with high thermal conductivity partitions helping dissipate heat and preventing onset and propagation. Choosing appropriate emissivity of internal partitions can offer an effective thermal management mechanism to minimize thermal runaway, contributing to improved safety and reliability in battery packs.
