Abstract:

A lithium-ion capacitor (LIC) has the advantages of long cycle life, high power density, and high energy density. Comprehensive knowledge of LIC thermal characteristics is essential for its practical application. In this study, a temperature rise test of an LIC is performed under various charge and discharge rates, and its thermal model is established and studied based on MATLAB and COMSOL Multiphysics 5.4 software. The results demonstrate that the calorific value of LIC increases with the rise in charge and discharge rates. Based on the lumped parameter thermal model established in MATLAB, the mean absolute error in the temperature rise simulation can be limited to 0.2 ℃, and the temperature distribution variation increases with the rise in discharge rate. By installing the LIC lugs diagonally on the cell, the temperature difference is reduced, making the temperature more uniform, and the arrangement is advantageous in improving performance.

Key words: lithium-ion capacitor, temperature rise, thermal characteristic, thermal model, thermal simulation
