Cold temperature performance of phase change material based battery thermal management systems

This study evaluates performance of passive thermal management system of high power Li-ion batteries in a cold environment. Two different phase change materials (PCM) consisting of pure paraffin and paraffin–graphite composites are considered and compared with a battery module in absence of PCM mate...
