Improving battery safety by utilizing composite phase change material to delay the occurrence of thermal runaway event

Thermal management is a crucial parameter in lithium-ion batteries to maintain the temperature of the batteries within safer working limits. If the optimum working temperature is not maintained, it triggers thermal runaway conditions and causes them to propagate heat from one cell to another within...

description Thermal management is a crucial parameter in lithium-ion batteries to maintain the temperature of the batteries within safer working limits. If the optimum working temperature is not maintained, it triggers thermal runaway conditions and causes them to propagate heat from one cell to another within pack level configurations.
