Abstract
Methods and devices for controlling the temperature of a Li-ion battery cell are provided. A method can included combining the electrolyte and electrode components of a Li-ion battery with nanoparticles comprising of a phase change material with a melting point of 80° C. or greater, encapsulating the phase change material in an encapsulating material that has a melting point of 120° C. or greater.
Claims18
A method for controlling material temperature, the method comprising:
- combining a polymer coated phase change material with a material in need of thermal regulation.
A temperature-controlled Li-ion battery comprising:
- a first phase change material incorporated into an electrolyte component of the Li-ion battery.
