Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lithium-ion batteries are a promising technology for achieving the net-zero goal. Some of the current battery challenges such as lifetime and safety are very dependent on batteries operating temperature. A proper pack design as well as a thermal management system can overcome some of these barriers and ensure the batteries’ safe operation.
In this Special Issue, we are looking forward to contributions in the following subject areas:
- Multi-physics modelling of batteries (including the temperature impact);
- Impact of battery internal structure on heat generation;
- Impact of battery ageing on heat generation;
- Impact of battery ageing on battery safety;
- Thermal runaway modelling of a single cell or battery pack;
- Battery pack design for mitigating/delaying thermal propagation;
- Methodologies for manufacturing faulty cells to trigger thermal runaway;
- Battery heat release rate during thermal runaway for different chemistries/capacities/form factors;
- Novel thermal management technologies, especially for fast charging/severe climate conditions (very cold/hot);
- Battery management system for optimal battery performance;
- Energy harvesting from battery packs.

Abstract: The performance evaluation of Li-ion Battery (LIB) Thermal Management Systems (BTMS) is crucial to ensuring efficient and safe operation of the battery cells and pack as whole. In this study, a full cycle simulation is conducted to assess the effectiveness of different hydrogen-based coolants, both liquid and gas phases, compared to conventional coolants such as 3M Novec-7100 and air, under various real parameters. The LIB is evaluated using multi scale multi domain (MSMD) approach with Newman, Tiedemann, Gu and Kim (NTG) sub-model to simulate the electrochemical behavior and power source in full-coupling with the BTMS. The geometries of a 1P3S Li-ion battery LIB module and the BTMS are designed in CATIA, while the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling is carried out using ANSYS-Fluent software. The analysis underscores the significance of specific heat capacity, density, viscosity, and other thermal properties in coolant selection for maintaining optimal battery temperatures. This study contributes valuable insights into coolant selection and provides a foundation for optimizing BTMS design to enhance battery performance and longevity. More results in relation to temperature-dependent properties and dynamic cooling strategies to refine BTMS efficiency and effectiveness will be revealed in the full paper (upon submission).
