Silicone foam solves battery life and shock resistance for new energy vehicle batteries

 

Silicone foam is a combination of gasket materials for new energy vehicle battery products. Die-cut silicone foam is a set of solutions designed for the cushioning and vibration isolation of lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries are the power source of choice for a new generation of electric, hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles due to their high power density and charging efficiency, however, these batteries present a range of safety, longevity and performance challenges that require advanced materials solution.

Silicone foam, because of its inherent properties, produces very consistent forces across a wide range of compression, so it has been very suitable for supporting safety and reliability throughout the life cycle of new energy vehicles, and is widely used in the industry. . The compressibility curve of silicone foam illustrates its strength to withstand compressive and thermal stress over time, which is critical to ensuring stable performance over the life of the battery. Silicone foam can also extend EV/HEV battery life by optimizing internal pressure, thereby increasing charge/discharge cycles.

 

Silicone foam is designed to apply the push force critical to battery life and performance, maintaining a more constant push force over a larger portion of its compressibility curve, even as designers expand and contract the battery The start and end times of service life require the battery pack battery. The thickness and compression set of silicone foam are strictly specified as 5%. Silicone foam is a highly resilient material that retains its original thickness and performance throughout the life of the battery.
