6 Thermal Management Materials for EV Battery Applications
Li-ion batteries perform best when maintained within an optimal temperature range. The challenge is exacerbated by the consumer’s desire for a rapid charge and discharge, both of which add to heat management issues. Too hot or too cold and thermal instability can occur leading to thermal runaway that can at best destroy the cell and at worst start a vehicle fire. Reducing this thermal instability is where many of the performance materials that we convert at JBC Technologies come into play. Die-cut performance materials such as those described in this post can be used at the cell level, the module level, and even the pack level.
