Abstract

Battery-operated modern mobility systems are commonly referred to as Electric Vehicles.The transition from conventional internal combustion engines to modern electric mobility is progressing rapidly.Incorporating Electric Vehicles is a practical solution to addressing environmental pollution caused by the combustion of petroleum-based fuels.Among the various energy storage options, Lithium-ion batteries are the preferred choice due to their superior features, including high energy density, longevity, and efficiency.However, the performance, safety, and lifespan of Lithium-ion batteries are highly sensitive to operating temperature.Therefore, an effective battery thermal management system is essential.This review paper focuses on air-based thermal management systems.Compared to other cooling methods, airbased systems offer notable advantages, such as simplicity, lower cost, and ease of implementation.Despite these benefits, air-based systems often face challenges in efficiently managing higher thermal loads.Various techniques related to air-based cooling systems are discussed in detail.Additionally, the paper provides an overview of alternative cooling methods for comparison and context.
