Abstract
Systems and methods for protecting batteries (e.g., lithium ion batteries, such as electric vehicle (EV) batteries) are provided. Multifunctional battery protection systems and methods provide efficient heat dissipation and effective energy absorption. Designed tubes can be integrated and/or filled with a phase change material (PCM), thereby significantly enhancing the safety and performance of batteries, such as EV batteries, under various operating conditions.
Claims20
