Abstract

The advent of modern technology has led to a significant increase in the utilisation of rechargeable secondary batteries. Despite the sustainability of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, the limited availability of lithium has driven research into alternative energy storage technologies. Sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries, as a potential alternative to Li-ion batteries, have emerged as a highly promising contender. However, for these batteries to become industrially viable, certain properties such as energy and power density need to be enhanced. To address this issue, batteries have been a focus of research, and battery thermal management systems have been developed. These systems aim to evaluate battery performance, which is strongly influenced by temperature. Effective thermal management ensures that the battery operates within the optimal temperature range. This study models a pouch-type battery and evaluates the effects of phase changing materials (PCM) on battery temperature control. Comparative analysis is conducted using different PCMs to understand their impact. The study analyses the battery's response to specific temperature ranges and assesses how different PCMs affect battery cooling performance. The results provide critical insights for ensuring efficient battery operation. Furthermore, this research supports the broader adoption of Na-ion batteries in industrial applications and contributes to the development of sustainable energy storage systems.
