Thermal Characterization of Current and Next-Generation Lithium-ion Battery for E-mobility Applications

Solid-state batteries (SSBs) offer promising advances in next-generation energy storage systems, exhibiting better safety, energy density, and longevity over traditional lithium-ion batteries. However, understanding and managing their thermal behavior across diverse operating conditions is vital to ensure reliable operation. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the thermal behavior of SSBs through laboratory experiments under controlled conditions. Furthermore, it examines the thermal characteristics of SSB under various charging and discharging conditions, assessing the suitability for e-mobility applications, in comparison to the traditional lithium nickel cobalt aluminum (NCA) battery. The findings of this study provide valuable information for the development of thermal management strategies and the enhancement of the design, safety, and efficiency of SSB technologies for e-mobility applications.
