What is a battery module structure?

Module structure and optimization descriptions The module structure surrounding battery cells should be optimized to maximize cell volume or weight while satisfying mechanical and thermal safety constraints. This section presents the basic module structure used in this study and summarizes the optimization process.

Does a battery module structure maximize energy density?

This study proposes an optimization framework for a battery module structure that maximizes the energy density while satisfying both the mechanical and thermal constraints of pouch cell LIBs. To this end, mechanical and thermal models of module structures have been developed.

What is multifunctional energy storage composite (MESC)?

Multifunctional energy storage composites (MESC) embed battery layers in structures. Interlocking rivets anchor battery layers which contribute to mechanical performance. Experimental testing of MESC shows comparable electrochemical behavior to baseline. At 60% packing efficiency, MESC gain 15× mechanical rigidity compared to pouch cells.

Are multifunctional energy storage composites a novel form of structurally-integrated batteries?

5. Conclusions In this paper, we introduced multifunctional energy storage composites (MESCs), a novel form of structurally-integrated batteries fabricated in a unique material vertical integration process.

Can MESC structural batteries be used as energy-storing structural components?

The rivets' ability to suppress both cyclic strain and deformation due to mechanical fatigue confirm the feasibility of practical implementation of the MESC structural battery as an energy-storing structural component.

What is a thermal module-level model?

A thermal module-level model was used to optimize the battery module structure while satisfying the safety constraints, including the maximum temperature and temperature deviations. Chen et al. proposed a double-directional liquid heating system in a battery module.
