In recent years, electric vehicles (EVs) have experienced rapid growth, with increasing demand for more efficient and safer battery technologies. Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have become the primary choice due to their high energy density and long cycle life. However, one major challenge faced is effective thermal management. Poorly managed temperatures can lead to battery performance degradation, shorten battery life, and even pose a fire risk (Wang et al., 2020). Therefore, this study focuses on optimizing the thermal management system for Li-ion battery packs using phase change materials (PCMs) and advanced heat exchangers.
