Safety–Performance Trade-Offs of Phase-Change Materials in Battery Thermal Management: Materials, Systems, and Deployment

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) typically operate within a temperature range of 20–50 °C, depending on the chemical composition and application of the battery. Overheating may lead to degradation and thermal runaway, while overcooling may cause lithium plating and internal short circuits. Absorbing heat during the melting...
