SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ALTERING TEMPERATURE OF AN ELECTRICAL ENERGY STORAGE DEVICE OR AN ELECTROCHEMICAL ENERGY GENERATION DEVICE USING HIGH THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY MATERIALS

摘要

A method comprising thermal control of an electrical energy storage device or an electrochemical energy generating device is generally described, the method comprising the steps of providing a housing having an outer surface and an inner surface. The method also includes providing at least one component within the housing. The at least one component is configured to generate power in combination with other components, chemicals, or materials within the housing. The method also includes forming a plurality of thermal control structures of the high thermal conductivity material coupled to at least one of the inner surface of the housing and the at least one inner component. The high thermal conductive material has a high-k value greater than about 400 W / (m * k). Additionally, the method includes flowing fluid adjacent to the high thermal conductive material to transfer heat to or from the high thermal conductive material.
