Abstract

Along with the widespread adoption of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) as one of the main power sources in electric vehicles, temperature control of battery cells and battery modules becomes an important issue attracting much attention. The knowledge of thermal properties of LIB components and interfaces between layers in the stacked structure inside the battery cell will be helpful for accurate predicting the outward heat dissipation of a battery cell. Here presents a new non-contact steady-state method for quickly measuring the thermal conductivity of the sub-millimeter thick active layer and thermal contact resistance between the active layer and the current collector of electrode plates. A control sample with known thermal properties is employed to eliminate the unknown heating power and possible errors induced in parameter calculation, and the thermal conductivity is then quickly determined to be 2.34 W·(m−1·K−1) for the positive plate and 1.26 W·(m−1·K−1) for the negative plate of an 18,650 lithium-ion battery with an experimental error of 12.2 %. Also, the thermal contact resistance is extrapolated from the residue thermal resistance of the electrode plate against the thickness and determined to be 1.57 × 10–5 m2·K·W−1 with a fitting uncertainty of ± 0.62 × 10–5 m2·K·W−1.
