Thermal Management System for Battery Electric Vehicle

Dear Colleagues,

Thermal management is a critical component in ensuring the reliability, safety, and performance of battery electric vehicles. As the battery serves as a primary energy source, its temperature directly impacts both its lifespan and the overall performance of the electric vehicle, while also playing a significant role in its safety. To achieve the sustainable development of battery electric vehicles, extensive research and development efforts are required to advance the field of thermal management.

This Special Issue focuses exclusively on the thermal management of batteries in electric vehicles. It aims to address the challenges and propose innovative solutions related to the thermal processes involved in the production, operation, management, and energy conservation of battery systems. Topics of interest include advanced thermal management techniques, such as active and passive cooling methods, thermal interface materials, thermal modeling and simulation, and thermal regulation strategies specific to battery systems. Research on optimizing battery thermal performance, enhancing thermal stability, ensuring uniform temperature distribution, and mitigating thermal runaway risks are highly welcomed.

By concentrating on the thermal management system for battery electric vehicles, this Special Issue strives to contribute to the advancement of knowledge and understanding in the field. Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit original research, technical reviews, and case studies related to battery thermal management, with the goal of improving the reliability, safety, and overall performance of battery electric vehicles.
