Lithium Batteries Cooling by Phase Change Material Partially Filled with Metal Foam

Electric cars can be a turning point for climate problems. One of the main problems of electric cars is the thermal control of the batteries, since below and above a certain temperature range, the vehicle’s range decreases abruptly, creating inconveniences to the owners of these cars. The thermal co...
