Thermal Management during Manufacturing of Lithium-Ion Batteries
Authors:-Prabhjyot Kaur Juneja, Karan Gupta
Abstract-Thermal management is a critical aspect of lithium-ion battery (LIB) manufacturing, influencing product quality, process efficiency, and safety. This paper examines various methods for controlling temperature during key production stages such as electrode preparation, cell assembly, and electrolyte filling. Techniques like active cooling, infrared (IR) heating, and advanced thermal monitoring systems are analyzed for their effectiveness. Using case studies, experimental data, and thermal simulations, the research evaluates the impact of temperature control on material integrity, energy efficiency, and manufacturing throughput. Results indicate that optimized thermal management not only improves battery performance and lifespan but also reduces operational costs and energy consumption. Recommendations for future innovations in thermal management technologies are discussed to meet the growing demand for high-quality LIBs in electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems.
