Advanced Thermal Management Systems for High-Power Lithium-Ion Capacitors: A Comprehensive Review

摘要

The acceleration demand from the driver in electric vehicles (EVs) should be supportedby high-power energy storage systems (ESSs). In order to satisfy the driver’s request, the employedESS should have high power densities. On the other hand, high energy densities are required at thesame time for EVs’ traction to minimize the range anxiety. In this context, a novel ESS has emergedthat can provide high power and energy densities at the same time. Such technology is calledlithium-ion capacitor (LiC), which employs Li-doped carbon as negative electrode and activatedcarbon as positive electrode. However, high heat generation in high current applications is an issuethat should be managed to extend the LiCs life span. Hence, a proper thermal management system(TMS) is mandatory for such a hybrid technology. Since this ESS is novel, there are only several TMSsaddressed for LiCs. In this review article, a literature study regarding the developed TMSs for LiCs ispresented. Since LiCs use Li-doped carbon in their negative electrodes, lithium-titanate oxide (LTO)batteries are the most similar lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) to LiCs. Therefore, the proposed TMSs forlithium-ion batteries, especially LTO batteries, have been explained as well. The investigated TMSsare active, passive, and hybrid cooling methods The proposed TMSs have been classified in threedifferent sections, including active methods, passive methods, and hybrid methods.
