Spreading is the best way to prevent thermal propagation in pouch and prismatic cell battery packs because it prevents propagation while extending cell cycle lifetime and fast charging while cutting size and weight. Flexible graphite heat spreaders outperform aluminum and can support high-performance, small, lightweight battery packs.
Lithium-ion batteries generate a significant amount of heat during operation and charging. In addition to using thermal management materials to dissipate heat, using protective, flame-retardant insulation materials between the battery cell, module, and battery components can provide further thermal and electrical insulation protection.
The following 6 materials are used for the electrical and thermal insulation of batteries and accumulators: 1. Polypropylene film for electrical and thermal insulation of batteries and accumulators Polypropylene has excellent dielectric properties, excellent impermeability, and is easily deformed.
The primary strategies to isolate battery cells to protect against heat propagation all have pluses and minuses. Designing a battery module or pack requires balancing several competing thermal factors. The most common strategy is to provide just-enough thermal management to achieve the battery pack’s fundamental goals.
1. Polypropylene film for electrical and thermal insulation of batteries and accumulators Polypropylene has excellent dielectric properties, excellent impermeability, and is easily deformed. Formex is the first choice for engineers and designers. It is very durable and has excellent dielectric strength.
Combining different insulating materials such as aerogel, fiberglass, phase-change, mica, polyimide, ceramics, and air-gaps prevents heat from transferring. A minimum of 4mm to 6mm of insulation material is typically needed between cells to stop propagation.
