Summary: Temperature has a significant impact on the efficiency, security, and cycle life of lithium-ion battery cells. A new cooling system with a specific fluid velocity range is used to reduce the temperature of the cells. The results show that higher fluid velocity leads to better heat transfer. Among the investigated nanofluids, SiO2 exhibits the best thermal cooling for battery packs.

Summary: A hybrid cooling system composed of composite phase change material and counterflow liquid cooling is designed to improve the thermal performance of lithium-ion batteries under high ambient temperatures and high discharge rates. The study investigates the effects of different parameters, such as composite phase change material thicknesses, coolant flow directions, expanded graphite mass fractions, coolant velocities, and coolant temperatures, on the maximum temperature and temperature uniformity of the battery module. The results show that the hybrid cooling configuration can handle rapid discharging even under a high ambient environment and effectively improve the thermal safety of batteries.

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 study investigates the thermal runaway of a lithium-ion battery pack in laboratory conditions and the impact of a liquid-cooling thermal management system (TMS) on its propagation. The results indicate that TMS with different coolant flow rates can prevent TR propagation effectively. The ejection of high-temperature electrolyte and heat conduction are found to be the main mechanisms in TR propagation.

Summary: In this study, a fire model for individual lithium-ion batteries was established based on experimental data, and the fire characteristics of battery packs in a warehouse environment were investigated. The results showed that the fire preferentially spread to the upper battery pack and the propagation of the horizontal battery pack was influenced by distance. The study also examined the effects of battery pack spacing, fire warning, and automatic sprinkler systems on fire safety.

Summary: A numerical study was conducted to investigate the three-dimensional temperature distribution of a battery liquid cooling system, evaluating the impact of channel size and inlet conditions on temperature field. Based on experimental measurements, two temperature control strategies were proposed, showing that channel width and inlet water flow rate significantly influence the battery module temperature. Lowering the inlet temperature can reduce maximum temperature, but may lead to higher energy consumption. One specific control strategy demonstrated a substantial reduction in parasitic energy consumption compared to traditional methods.

Summary: Lithium-ion batteries require efficient thermal management systems for safe operation. Cooling methods such as liquid cooling and hybrid cooling have been proposed, but their suitability for fast charging lithium-ion batteries has not been explored. This study investigates the performance of liquid cooling and hybrid cooling methods and concludes that liquid cooling is more effective for cooling fast charging lithium-ion batteries.

Summary: The CFD simulation examined the impact of airflow with varying Reynolds numbers on heat transfer improvement in the cooling of lithium-ion batteries at different battery row spacings. It was found that increasing Reynolds numbers led to higher average Nu numbers for all cooling fluids, and the Nu number also increased with larger spacing between batteries. Additionally, the study showed that cells closer to the inlet section had lower temperatures compared to those closer to the outlet section, primarily due to temperature differences between the cells and the cooling fluid.
