The most efficient technique of a battery cooling system is a liquid cooling loop, particularly designed to dissipate heat from the battery packs into the air. The cooling system’s heavyweight affects the EV range as it has to work more to neutralize the payoff load. It also leaves less room for other systems and materials.
Performed 3D electrochemical-thermal modeling of four battery cooling methods. Thermal performance of direct air cooling, direct liquid cooling, indirect (jacket) liquid and fin cooling are compared. Merits and limitations of each cooling method for occupying a fixed volume are summarized.
Forced or natural air draft is one of the most commonly used means of battery cooling due to ease of use and low price of the system. However, it is one of the least effective systems at the same time. Liquids such as water or deionized water are also considered suitable candidates.
Passive/natural cooling is feasible for low-density batteries, and blowers are used to increase the convection heat transfer rate. Air is used to cool the battery modules, and the temperature remains high at the rear and middle of the battery and remains high near the outlet of the battery pack.
Indirect liquid cooling has been adopted by the Chevrolet Volt, and Tesla Model S. A123 used fins for heat removal and achieved temperature uniformity. A fierce debate is ongoing about which kind of cooling method should be applied to EDV battery packs.
Heat pipe cooling for Li-ion battery pack is limited by gravity, weight and passive control . Currently, air cooling, liquid cooling, and fin cooling are the most popular methods in EDV applications. Some HEV battery packs, such as those in the Toyota Prius and Honda Insight, still use air cooling.

If battery materials are recycled following disposal, the recovered metals may be used in the production of new batteries, or they may be used for another application. Secondary batteries are therefore more environmentally friendly and cost-effective in the long run compared to primary batteries. Examples of secondary batteries include
There are multiple performance materials—used either alone or laminated together into multi-functional material stacks—that can be used to achieve one or more thermal management objectives. Take, for example, how one might choose to layer flexible graphite with a high-temperature mechanical pad.

Compared to the relatively cured materials systems, electrolyte engineering is obviously promising and effective to enable "cool" LIBs with better temperature-adaptative features and a wider application range. Nevertheless, there still lacks a comprehensive overview of the various strategies that focus on the electrolyte and interface to ...
PCM absorbs heat and cools down without an additional cooling system. 1. The volume of the PCM usually changes significantly after a phase change, increasing the potential for leakage. 2. The shape of PCM is easy to change, the system arrangement is simple, and the temperature uniformity is better. 2. Most PCMs have low thermal conductivity and are less …

Different cooling methods have different limitations and merits. Air cooling is the simplest approach. Forced-air cooling can mitigate temperature rise, but during aggressive driving circles and at high operating temperatures it will inevitably cause a large nonuniform distribution of temperature in the battery [26], [27].Nevertheless, in some cases, such as parallel HEVs, air …
The charging rate has to be limited when batteries are too cold or too warm, and might have to be paused to let the battery cool if it heats up to 60 C or more. Our powertrain components and systems expert emphasises the challenge of …

However, the lithium is not stripped and deposited evenly when the cell is charged and discharged. This results in the formation of so-called dendrites: branched structures of metallic lithium that can short-circuit the battery. One way to slow down the growth of dendrites is to use solid electrolytes. In so-called solid-state batteries ...
This can either be a standalone heat pump or, in the case of some buses, it can use the same air conditioning system that keeps the passengers cool to also cool the traction battery pack. Electric trucks, buses, and delivery vans often use heat pumps to cool traction batteries. Image used courtesy of Wikimedia Commons (By Peter J. Dunn)

The introduction of liquid-cooling – initially water-glycol and more recently dielectric fluids – has greatly improved the heat dissipation and thermal management of the battery pack. Immersion cooling with a dielectric fluid has the potential of increasing the rate of heat transfer by 10,000 times relative to passive air-cooling.
Mitigation methods used by the BMS can include system shut down (either the whole battery pack or one subsection) via safety switches, which trip in the event of increased current or temperature, deploying the thermal management system, releasing inert gas to quench flames, opening vents to remove heat and gases, and closing vents to prevent escape of fire.
