Abstract

Lithium-ion batteries are the core energy storage unit of electric vehicles and energy storage power stations, but their thermal safety is still the great challenge. Flame-retardant composite phase change material (CPCM) as a potential battery thermal safety protection technology (BTSS) have been widely investigated for battery thermal safety system. Herein, the various types of flame retardants and the preparation technologies of flame retardant PCMs are reviewed, and the designations and applications of flame retardant CPCM in BTSS are summarized. Besides, the suppression techniques from flame retardant CPCM delaying thermal runaway triggering time to thermal runaway propagation of lithium-ion batteries are compared and discussed. Finally, future research directions based on critical thinking are proposed for flame-retardant CPCM design and flame-retardant-based battery thermal management systemc (BTMS) in system resilience. We anticipate that this review will provide new insightful perspectives on the material designation and thermal safety system reliability of flame retardant CPCM-based BTSS in future research, especially in terms of thermal safety issues.

复合相变材料对电池热安全的阻燃机理综述

锂离子电池是电动汽车和储能电站的核心储能单元，但其热安全性仍是一大挑战。阻燃复合相变材料（CPCM）作为一种有潜力的电池热安全保护技术，在电池热安全系统中得到了广泛的研究。本文综述了阻燃剂的种类和阻燃pcm的制备技术，总结了阻燃CPCM的名称及其在BTSS中的应用。此外，对阻燃剂CPCM延迟热失控触发时间对锂离子电池热失控传播的抑制技术进行了比较和讨论。最后，提出了基于批判性思维的阻燃CPCM设计和基于阻燃的电池热管理系统（BTMS）在系统弹性方面的未来研究方向。希望本文的研究成果能够为今后基于cpcm的阻燃BTSS材料设计和热安全系统可靠性的研究提供新的见解，特别是在热安全问题上。
