Battery thermal management enhancement based on bionics

Abstract

As modern science and technology advance, bionics increasingly plays a crucial role in the progress of thermal science. Bionics can provide superior design ideas for battery thermal management. It can boost battery thermal management technologies to a new level. Currently, bionics has relatively few applications in battery thermal management and is still in its infancy. How to design a reasonable bionic heat dissipation structure to enhance system cooling efficiency and temperature homogeneity, and to reduce system energy consumption and weight? This is an urgent problem for researchers today. This paper analyzes and summarizes the contribution of bionics in battery thermal management enhancement from three aspects: temperature homogeneity of the battery module, system energy consumption, and lightweighting. From the perspectives of unique topology structures and surface morphologies of the living organism, we comb through the key scientific problems and the latest research progress, and propose other new technologies that can be used in the future. In the future, we anticipate significant growth in battery thermal management technologies and industrial applications based on bionics driven by the continuous advancement of modern machining technology and the emergence of new theories in bionics.
