6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Characteristics of thermal conductive structural adhesive for lithium batteries”

What are thermally conductive adhesives (TCAs)?

Thermally Conductive Adhesives (TCAs) are key Thermal Interface Material (TIMs) used in Cell-to-Pack configurations, providing structural bonding and thermal conductivity. In this configuration TCAs are dispensed on the inside of the battery case and cells are then stacked in the case to create the battery pack structure.

What is the application of adhesive in a battery?

Figure 1 > Adhesive application in batteries for battery enclosure sealing and thermal management inside the battery. In order to reach a long drive range of electrically driven vehicles, high energy density batteries are needed. The currently most popular battery cell technology is based on lithium ion technology.

Are specialty adhesives a good choice for battery pack assemblies?

However, specialty adhesives with secondary features such as flame retardancy and thermal conductivity have additional elements that are of value when used in battery pack assemblies. Overheating and runaway fire have been persistent challenges within the battery pack design, which specialty adhesives can help to mitigate.

What is a conductive coating on a battery?

Specifically, these conductive coatings are applied along the wall of battery cells to reduce electrical resistance between active materials and the aluminum foil, which improves charging and discharging performance. (See Figure 2.) Figure 2: Conductive coating applied to battery cell wall.

Why do EV batteries need structural adhesives?

The structural integrity of EV batteries is also critical for ensuring safety, reliability, and performance. Structural Adhesives play an important role in the mechanical integrity of battery packs by bonding together various components, such as the cells, modules, and casing.

What is a battery pack adhesive?

The primary function of an adhesive is to bond two surfaces together that provides a sufficient mechanical hold. However, specialty adhesives with secondary features such as flame retardancy and thermal conductivity have additional elements that are of value when used in battery pack assemblies.
