Designing safe, efficient, and durable battery packs starts with selecting the right materials. Thermal analysis — including Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) — help engineers evaluate thermal stability, decomposition behavior, and phase transitions of battery components.
To ensure effective heat management, thermal conductivity and diffusivity measurements are essential. These properties determine how well materials can dissipate heat, which is critical for preventing hotspots and ensuring uniform temperature distribution across the pack.
Mechanical analysis, such as Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA), assesses the structural integrity of materials under thermal and mechanical stress, ensuring they maintain performance during operation and environmental exposure.
Together, these techniques guide the selection of materials that enhance thermal safety, mechanical durability, and overall battery pack reliability.
