Advances in Thermal Management Systems for Lithium-Ion EV Batteries: A Scientific Overview
IntroductionThermal management is essential for lithium-ion EV batteries to maintain performance, safety, and cycle life. Electrochemical processes generate heat during charge and discharge. Without regulation, efficiency declines, degradation accelerates, and thermal runaway risk increases. Three primary approaches are liquid cooling, air cooling, and phase-change materials (PCMs). Each has distinct trade-offs in heat transfer efficiency, weight,…
Mechanisms and Mitigation of Battery Degradation in Geostationary Orbit Satellites
Battery Degradation in GEO SatellitesGeostationary orbit (GEO) satellites operate for 15 years or longer under extreme thermal and cycling conditions. Battery degradation arises from electrochemical aging, thermal stress, and charge-discharge cycling during eclipse seasons. Understanding these mechanisms is critical for optimizing depth-of-discharge (DoD), managing capacity fade, and selecting appropriate battery chemistry.Cycling Environment During Eclipse SeasonsBiannual…
