समीक्षा
The development of phase change material (PCM) composite-based battery thermal management systems (BTMS) is a crucial area of research for electric vehicle (EV) applications. These systems are designed to address the significant challenge of heat generation in lithium-ion batteries, which must be maintained within a narrow optimal temperature range (typically 20 oC to 40 oC) to ensure performance, longevity, and safety, preventing thermal runaway.
