PRISMATIC SECONDARY BATTERY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18563787 titled 'PRISMATIC SECONDARY BATTERY
The abstract describes a prismatic secondary battery with heat-absorbing pouches containing an absorbent material impregnated with a liquid that vaporizes to absorb heat generated by the battery cells.
- The battery includes a case, one or more battery cells, and heat-absorbing pouches.
- The heat-absorbing pouches contain an absorbent material impregnated with a liquid that vaporizes to absorb heat.
- The pouch seals and accommodates the absorbent material impregnated with the liquid.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in electric vehicles to manage heat generated by the battery cells. - It can also be applied in portable electronic devices to prevent overheating.
Problems Solved: - Addresses the issue of heat generation in battery cells, which can affect performance and longevity. - Provides a solution for thermal management in energy storage systems.
Benefits: - Improved safety and efficiency of battery systems. - Extended lifespan of battery cells due to effective heat dissipation.
Commercial Applications: - Automotive industry for electric vehicles. - Consumer electronics for smartphones and laptops.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the liquid in the absorbent material help in dissipating heat?
- The liquid vaporizes upon absorbing heat, effectively cooling the battery cells.
2. What are the potential long-term effects of using heat-absorbing pouches in battery systems?
- The technology can lead to increased battery lifespan and improved overall performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
A prismatic secondary battery includes a case; at least one or more battery cells accommodated within the case; and at least one or more heat-absorbing pouches in contact with the battery cells. Here, the heat-absorbing pouches include: an absorbent material impregnated with a liquid that vaporizes by absorbing the heat generated by the battery cells; and a pouch that seals and accommodates the absorbent material impregnated with the liquid.
