主 题:Lightweight Lattices Metamaterials Structural battery Battery safety Internal short circuit
摘 要:The challenges facing electric vehicles with respect to driving range and safety make the design of a lightweight and safe battery pack a critical *** study proposes a multifunctional structural battery system comprising cylindrical battery cells and a surrounding lightweight lattice *** lattice density distribution was optimized via topological optimization to minimize stress on the battery during *** a single 18650 cylindrical battery cell,non-uniform lattices were designed featuring areas of increased density in an X-shaped pattern and then fabricated by additive manufacturing using stainless steel *** testing of the assembled structural battery system revealed that the stronger lattice units in the X-shaped lattice pattern resisted deformation and helped delay the emergence of a battery short ***,the short circuit of the structural battery based on a variable-density patterned lattice was∼166%later than that with a uniform-density *** element simulation results for structural battery systems comprising nine battery cells indicate that superior battery protection is achieved in specially packed batteries via non-uniform lattices with an interconnected network of stronger *** proposed structural battery systems featuring non-uniform lattices will shed light on the next generation of lightweight and impact-resistant electric vehicle designs.
