Abstract

The paraffin-based composites with different mass fractions were prepared by adding nano-boron nitride (BN).The thermophysical properties and application of paraffin/BN in the Li-ion battery thermal management were analyzed.The results showed that it was a physical interaction between BN and paraffin.The melting point and latent heat of paraffin/BN had a certain decrease with the increasing of BN contents.The turning place of the thermal conductivity values was the melting point.Due to the settlement of BN,the thermal conductivity of paraffin/BN with1 wt% BN was the highest,which was 0.3386W/m·K.Paraffin/BN with 1wt% BN was used to study the heat dissipation of Li-ion battery.It was obtained that when the discharge rate was 3C and 5C,the highest temperature of the battery surface using paraffin/BN was reduced by 1.43℃ and 3.39℃,respectively.Acooling effect with 3.5%~7.6% was realized comparing to those of pure paraffin.The maximum temperature difference was respectively reduced by 0.24℃ and 0.35℃,which decreased over 20%.The battery surface temperature using paraffin/BN distributed more evenly than paraffin.Therefore,composite phase change material had good application prospects in battery thermal management.
