Özet

Battery thermal management (BTM) is a critical issue of modern energy systems, particularly in applications of electrical vehicles (EV). If the heat produced by the batteries is not properly managed, it causes to affect their performance negatively, safety, and overall lifespan. Effective BTM systems (BTMS) are essential to ensure optimal battery operation, prevent thermal runaway events, and maximize energy efficiency. BTMS includes strategies used to control the temperature of the battery, dissipate heat and maintain temperature balance. These strategies are designed to effectively direct and dissipate the heat inside the battery. Thermal management techniques include active and passive cooling methods. Active cooling methods enable to effectively manage the heat inside the battery using cooling systems. These may include methods such as liquid cooling systems, air blast systems, or thermoelectric cooling. Passive cooling methods, on the other hand, aim to dissipate heat by using the thermal properties of the environment around the battery. These methods include heat dissipation plates, thermal interface materials, and phase change materials. This paper presents a brief review of phase change materials (PCM) – based BTMS. The importance of thermal management, the techniques and strategies used, its advantages and challenges are discussed and information is given about research and developments in BTM. In addition, the performances of different composite phase change materials (CPCM) on BTMS are highlighted and recommendations for future work were presented.
