What is the literature review of thermal management of stationary battery systems?

M. Henke and G. Hailu, Thermal management of stationary battery systems: A literature review, Energies 13, 4194 (2020). S. P. Culver, R. Koerver, W. G. Zeier, and J. Janek, On the functionality of coatings for cathode active materials in thiophosphate-based all-solid-state batteries, Adv. Energy Mater. 9, 1900626 (2019).

How does heat affect battery life?

In batteries, excessive heat can not only cause degradation that leads to a loss of charge capacity over time, but thermal runaway can also occur when the battery overheats to catastrophic failure. Thus, understanding heat evolution and thermal transport is an important step to improve lifetime and safety of batteries.

Are solid-state batteries the future of battery thermal management?

In particular, solid-state batteries epitomize the complexity of battery systems and require a state-of-the-art understanding of thermal transport mechanisms. Here, the authors identify the basic and applied scientific directions that may prove fruitful for the next generation of battery thermal management.

Why is Heat Evolution and thermal transport important in batteries?

Especially in batteries, not only can excessive heat cause degradation that leads to a loss of charge capacity over time, but thermal runaway can occur when the battery overheats to catastrophic failure. Thus, understanding heat evolution and thermal transport in batteries is an important step to improve lifetime and safety.

Do battery materials dissipate heat?

The intrinsic ability of battery materials to dissipate heat depends on the magnitude of their effective thermal conductivity, where higher thermal conductivity is desirable for faster heat removal.

What is a low thermal conductivity?

Such low thermal conductivities are in the typical range for glasses and complex thermoelectric materials and are not much higher than the thermal conductivity of typical liquid electrolytes (∼0.2 W m−1 K−1 at room temperature)
