Background
In the field of new energy automobiles, square lithium batteries are one of the most commonly used battery types, but the lithium batteries generate a large amount of heat energy nearby positive and negative poles in the use process, so that the temperature of the lithium batteries rises and the temperature distribution of the batteries is uneven, and the square lithium batteries are large in single volume, the heating ends inside the batteries are far away from an external shell, and the conducting medium and the interface structure are complex, so that heat dissipation becomes difficult. If the square lithium battery is continuously operated at a high temperature, the thermal runaway phenomenon is easily caused, the battery performance is damaged, even a fire disaster occurs, and the safety of a user is endangered, so that the thermal management of the lithium battery is particularly important.
The phase-change cooling is one of the effective modes for carrying out heat management on the lithium battery, and the characteristic that the temperature of the phase-change material is constant in the endothermic melting process is utilized to cool the surface of the battery, so that the temperature of the battery is kept uniform and constant. However, in the traditional phase-change cooling thermal management system, due to the limited heat storage capacity of the phase-change material, more phase-change materials are needed during long-term working, so that the dead weight is overlarge; the heat is difficult to be dissipated to the outside after the battery pack is packaged, and the temperature can be continuously increased after the phase change material is completely melted, so that the cooling capacity is lost; in addition, after the battery stops working, the heat dissipation rate of the phase-change material is slow, and the regeneration is difficult.
