Abstract

Cell temperature has a major influence on the performance, lifespan, and safety of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The battery thermal management system (BTMS) is of paramount importance as it is designed to maintain the battery operating temperature within a suitable range to enhance battery safety, cycle life and overall efficiency. In this paper, the new progresses and applications of thermal models of LIBs were presented and the research on thermal management and safety of LIBs over the past decades were summarized. Furthermore, the research work carried out in our laboratory was introduced and the future research directions on LIB thermal management and safety were also put forward.

Key words： Li-ion battery; thermal management; micro-channel cooling; whole-vehicle thermal management; safety
