Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The thermal behaviour of (post) lithium-ion batteries and their active materials depend on a large variety of internal and environmental physicochemical parameters, which are still not deeply understood. Additionally, the specific materials design and especially the use of nanoscale materials influences heat generation and heat dissipation during their operation. Safe lithium-ion batteries are urgently required for an extensive market penetration of electric vehicles and stationary storage systems. Therefore, the characterization of thermal and safety properties of the cells, batteries, and their individual active and passive materials is required to obtain quantitative and reliable thermal and thermodynamic data.

This Special Issue addresses all techniques which are necessary for a holistic safety assessment from materials to battery level. I warmly invite you to publish your original research paper or a review paper in this Special Issue.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

 

  • Thermal characterisation techniques (DSC, DTA, TG, drop solution calorimetry, battery calorimetry, laser flash, hot-plate, thermography, etc.) for materials, cells, and batteries;
  • Studies on the influence of nanoscale materials on the thermal properties;
  • Studies on the influence of ageing phenomena on thermal and safety properties;
  • Development of safer materials and cell designs for thermal runaway prevention;
  • Development and validation of new safety tests, especially for thermal propagation testing;
  • Thermodynamic modelling of battery materials (CALPHAD, kinetic modelling) and database generation;
  • Use of thermal and thermodynamic data in battery management systems (BMS), thermal management systems (TMS), and safety systems.

Share your results to get a deeper understanding of the processes that lead to heat generation in cells and batteries under both normal use and abuse conditions. This will be an important milestone to increase their safety and to exploit their full potential, because thermal and safety data are urgently required as input for battery and thermal management systems.

Thermal analysis and thermal management of lithium-ion batteries for utilization in electric vehicles is vital. In order to investigate the thermal behavior of a lithium-ion battery, a liquid cooling design is demonstrated in this research. The influence of cooling direction and conduit distribution on the thermal performance of the lithium-ion battery is analyzed. The outcomes exhibit that the appropriate flow rate for heat dissipation is dependent on different configurations for cold plate. The acceptable heat dissipation condition could be acquired by adding more cooling conduits. Moreover, it was distinguished that satisfactory cooling direction could efficiently enhance the homogeneity of temperature distribution of the lithium-ion battery. Full article

In this paper, the direct measurement of the orthotropic thermal conductivity on a commercial Li-ion pouch battery is presented. The samples under analysis are state-of-the art batteries obtained from a fully electric vehicle commercialized in 2016. The proposed methodology does not require a laboratory equipped to manage hazardous chemical substances as the battery does not need to be disassembled. The principle of the measurement methodology consists of forcing a thermal gradient on the battery along the desired direction and measuring the heat flux and temperature after the steady state condition has been reached. A thermoelectric device has been built in order to force the thermal gradient and keep it stable over a long period of time in order to be able to observe the temperatures in steady state condition. Aligned with other measurement methodologies, the results revealed that the thermal conductivity in the thickness direction (0.77 Wm−1K−1) is lower with respect to the other two directions (25.55 Wm−1K−1 and 25.74 Wm−1K−1) to about a factor ×35.
