Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Increasingly severe environmental and energy challenges have led to an urgent demand for green and efficient energy storage systems. Various energy storage technologies, including commercialized lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), capacitors, and especially fuel cells, play critical roles in portable electronic devices in vehicles. Therefore, research on new electrode materials with a reduced cost, improved safety, and high-energy density is crucial to satisfy the ever-growing demand for this technology. Symmetric electrodes have recently become a research focus because they employ the same active materials as both cathodes and anodes in energy storage systems, leading to a reduced manufacturing cost and a simplified fabrication process. Most importantly, this feature also endows symmetric energy storage systems with improved safety, a longer lifetime, and the ability to charge in both directions. For this Special Issue, we are interested in research on different symmetric electrodes based on the applications of symmetric electrodes in different energy storage electrochemical systems. Papers considering the possibility of mass production are also encouraged. This Special Issue welcomes all contributions on the use of symmetry in applications of the electrochemical process in technologies such as lithium-ion batteries, capacitors, fuel cells, etc.

This paper provides an overview of the significance of precise thermal analysis in the context of lithium-ion battery systems. It underscores the requirement for additional research to create efficient methodologies for modeling and controlling thermal properties, with the ultimate goal of enhancing both the safety and performance of Li-ion batteries. The interaction between temperature regulation and lithium-ion batteries is pivotal due to the intrinsic heat generation within these energy storage systems. A profound understanding of the thermal behaviors exhibited by lithium-ion batteries, along with the implementation of advanced temperature control strategies for battery packs, remains a critical pursuit. Utilizing tailored models to dissect the thermal dynamics of lithium-ion batteries significantly enhances our comprehension of their thermal management across a wide range of operational scenarios. This comprehensive review systematically explores diverse research endeavors that employ simulations and models to unravel intricate thermal characteristics, behavioral nuances, and potential runaway incidents associated with lithium-ion batteries. The primary objective of this review is to underscore the effectiveness of employed characterization methodologies and emphasize the pivotal roles that key parameters—specifically, current rate and temperature—play in shaping thermal dynamics. Notably, the enhancement of thermal design systems is often more feasible than direct alterations to the lithium-ion battery designs themselves. As a result, this thermal review primarily focuses on the realm of thermal systems. The synthesized insights offer a panoramic overview of research findings, with a deeper understanding requiring consultation of specific published studies and their corresponding modeling endeavors.

To enhance our understanding of the thermal characteristics of lithium-ion batteries and gain valuable insights into the thermal impacts of battery thermal management systems (BTMSs), it is crucial to develop precise thermal models for lithium-ion batteries that enable numerical simulations. The primary objective of creating a battery thermal model is to define equations related to heat generation, energy conservation, and boundary conditions. However, a standalone thermal model often lacks the necessary accuracy to effectively anticipate thermal behavior. Consequently, the thermal model is commonly integrated with an electrochemical model or an equivalent circuit model. This article provides a comprehensive review of the thermal behavior and modeling of lithium-ion batteries. It highlights the critical role of temperature in affecting battery performance, safety, and lifespan. The study explores the challenges posed by temperature variations, both too low and too high, and their impact on the battery’s electrical and thermal balance. Various thermal analysis approaches, including experimental measurements and simulation-based modeling, are described to comprehend the thermal characteristics of lithium-ion batteries under different operating conditions. The accurate modeling of batteries involves explaining the electrochemical model and the thermal model as well as methods for coupling electrochemical, electrical, and thermal aspects, along with an equivalent circuit model. Additionally, this review comprehensively outlines the advancements made in understanding the thermal behavior of lithium-ion batteries. In summary, there is a strong desire for a battery model that is efficient, highly accurate, and accompanied by an effective thermal management system. Furthermore, it is crucial to prioritize the enhancement of current thermal models to improve the overall performance and safety of lithium-ion batteries. Full article
