Battery thermal management

Materials for battery thermal management – ​​optimizing performance, safety and lifespan

The development of high-performance lithium-ion batteries is one of the most important drivers of innovation in our time. Whether for electromobility, stationary energy storage, or industrial applications, modern battery systems must deliver ever higher energy densities, shorter charging times, and longer lifespans. At the same time, the demands on safety and reliability are increasing. A crucial success factor is the thermal management of batteries. Only if the...

Thermal management in lithium-ion batteries: Materials as a key technology

Why thermal management is crucial for battery systems: Modern lithium-ion batteries operate within a sensitive temperature range. Even slight deviations from the optimal operating temperature can significantly impact performance, lifespan, and safety. Particularly in applications such as electric vehicles, stationary storage systems, and fast-charging infrastructure, considerable thermal stresses occur during charging and discharging processes. Temperature spikes ("hotspots") in individual cells lead to uneven aging...
