    Impact of Cooling Strategies and Cell Housing Materials on Lithium-Ion Battery Thermal Management Performance
    (Mdpi, 2025) Aydin, Sevgi; Çetkin, Erdal; Samancioglu, Umut Ege; Savci, Ismail Hakki; Yigit, Kadri Suleyman; Cetkin, Erdal
    The transition to renewable energy sources from fossil fuels requires that the harvested energy be stored because of the intermittent nature of renewable sources. Thus, lithium-ion batteries have become a widely utilized power source in both daily life and industrial applications due to their high power output and long lifetime. In order to ensure the safe operation of these batteries at their desired power and capacities, it is crucial to implement a thermal management system (TMS) that effectively controls battery temperature. In this study, the thermal performance of a 1S14P lithium-ion battery module composed of cylindrical 18650 cells was compared for distinct cases of natural convection (no cooling), forced air convection, and phase change material (PCM) cooling. During the tests, the greatest temperatures were reached at a 2C discharge rate; the maximum module temperature reached was 55.4 degrees C under the natural convection condition, whereas forced air convection and PCM cooling reduced the maximum module temperature to 46.1 degrees C and 52.3 degrees C, respectively. In addition, contacting the battery module with an aluminum mass without using an active cooling element reduced the temperature to 53.4 degrees C. The polyamide battery housing (holder) used in the module limited the cooling performance. Thus, simulations on alternative materials document how the cooling efficiency can be increased.

    Review of Cell Level Battery (calendar and Cycling) Aging Models: Electric Vehicles
    (Mdpi, 2024) Yarimca, Gulsah; Cetkin, Erdal
    Electrochemical battery cells have been a focus of attention due to their numerous advantages in distinct applications recently, such as electric vehicles. A limiting factor for adaptation by the industry is related to the aging of batteries over time. Characteristics of battery aging vary depending on many factors such as battery type, electrochemical reactions, and operation conditions. Aging could be considered in two sections according to its type: calendar and cycling. We examine the stress factors affecting these two types of aging in detail under subheadings and review the battery aging literature with a comprehensive approach. This article presents a review of empirical and semi-empirical modeling techniques and aging studies, focusing on the trends observed between different studies and highlighting the limitations and challenges of the various models.

    An Experimental and Comparative Study on Passive and Active Pcm Cooling of a Battery With/Out Copper Mesh and Investigation of Pcm Mixtures
    (Elsevier, 2024) Samancioglu, Umut Ege; Gocmen, Sinan; Madani, Seyed Saeed; Ziebert, Carlos; Nuno, Fernando; Huang, Jack; Cetkin, Erdal
    The carbon emission contribution to global warming accelerated both research on and transition to electric vehicles (EVs). Drivers demand high power, fast acceleration and less charging times. All these demands require high C rate charging/discharging demands from batteries. The rate of heat generation is exponentially proportional to C rates which decreases battery lifetime and may lead to thermal runaway. However, a battery thermal management system decreases thermal runaway risk and decelerates battery degradation via controlling battery temperature. In this paper, we first document the thermal conductivity enhancement via copper foam into phase change material (PCM) domain to uncover their possible use in EV thermal management applications. Maximum 15.93 times increment is achieved with a specific copper foam. Then, physical properties and behaviors of distinct PCM mixtures are documented. Homogeneity of mixtures is associated with the chemistry of PCMs and the mixture melting point is proportional to the volume weighted average of melting temperatures. The results document that the PCM with relatively lower melting point is beneficial when end of discharge temperatures considered, except for high discharge rate of 2C. Temperature uniformity across the battery increases with relatively higher melting point PCM. Experiments also document that the amount of PCM volume lost via insertion of copper foam yields higher end of discharge temperatures. Overall, both PCM and copper foam enhances temperature homogeneity and their benefit becomes more sensible during drive cycles relative to continuous charge/discharge use cases.
