摘要
Phase change material (PCM) cooling is widely employed in the thermal management of compact battery packs. Thermal protection triggered by rapid temperature rise shortens the effective discharge time in high-rate discharge, making it essential to prepare PCM that rapidly absorbs heat at high temperatures. However, research on the thermal absorption performance and insulating properties of PCM at high-rate discharge remains limited. Herein, we innovatively propose a thermally conductive and insulating PCM with a wide phase transition temperature to address the overheating issue in batteries at 7 C, 8 C and 9 C discharge rates. The C236 consists of paraffin (PA236), graphite and boron nitride with a ratio of 6: 2: 2, which achieves outstanding thermal performance with a latent heat of up to 138.0 J/g and a high-volume resistivity of 1.6 x 108 Omega & sdot;m. It is found that at a discharge rate of 7 C, the C236 with a thickness of 3 mm effectively maintains the temperature below 80 degrees C. At discharge rates of 8 C and 9 C, the PCM significantly reduces the battery temperature by 26.9 % and 32.5 %, respectively, highlighting the rapid heat absorption capability at high temperatures. Furthermore, after four cycles at a 9 C discharge rate, the temperature differential of the battery remains below 5 degrees C. The lowcost PCM provides a new experimental reference for battery thermal management in high-rate discharge, with broad application prospects.
