Summary

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) suffer from severe heat accumulation and uneven temperature distribution during high-rate cycling, which inevitably induces capacity degradation, thermal runaway risks, and shortened service life, restricting their large-scale application in new energy devices. To address these thermal bottlenecks, graphene with ultra-high thermal conductivity, excellent flexibility, and adjustable microstructures has emerged as an advanced functional material for battery thermal management. This Special Issue focuses on the thermal regulation mechanism of graphene-based thermal conductive materials and their application in LIB thermal management systems. The effects of graphene morphology, filling ratio, and composite structure on battery heat dissipation and thermal uniformity are systematically explored. Suggested themes such as:
(1)Research on the thermal conductivity of graphene based composite materials;
(2)Thermal management method for temperature adaptive control;
(3)Rapid cooling under thermal runaway conditions and any technology related to thermal management of LIBs.

This Special Issue provides a feasible strategy for the design and engineering of high-safety and high-stability lithium battery thermal management systems.
