Abstract
The present disclosure relates to materials and systems to manage thermal runaway issues in energy storage systems. Exemplary embodiments include an insulation layer that is placed in the encapsulation material used to encapsulate a pouch battery cell. The encapsulation layer for a pouch battery cell is made from a laminate film that comprises an insulation layer.
Claims28
An insulation barrier for use in an electrical energy storage system comprising a plurality of battery cells or battery modules, the insulation barrier comprising:
- one or more insulation layers;
- and
- one or more thermal exchange elements, each thermal exchange element disposed adjacent to at least one of the one or more insulation layers;
- wherein the one or more thermal exchange elements provide heating or cooling to the battery cells or battery modules in contact with the insulation barrier during use.
