Paraffin Nanocomposites for Heat Management of Lithium-Ion Batteries: A Computational Investigation

Figure 2

3D heat transfer model coupled with electrochemical model to evaluate the temperature rises during the battery charging/discharging cycles. The Li-ion batteries and paraffin based structures are illustrated by blue and yellow colors, respectively. The battery radius, , was chosen to be 9.2 mm. The outer surface of the model is exposed to air.
