Abstract
This chapter presents the most relevant thermal characterization techniques commonly deployed for characterization of batteries, fuel cells and supercapacitors that includes thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), evolved gas analysis (EGA), accelerating rate calorimetry (ARC), thermomechanical analysis (TMA) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The chapter highlights the working principle of these techniques, their relevant thermal metrics, and the key aspects for performing the thermal measurement for these applications. The most important practical application aspects of thermal methods described are: (1) characterization and quality control of raw materials, supporting materials and electrode, (2) performance testing, (3) safety evaluation and (4) real system simulation to power the development of emerging energy storage devices. The research applications of thermal methods are highlighted to study the energy devices materials and components, the thermal behavior and failure mechanism that is still not fully realized to meet the growing demand for safer, more efficient, and sustainable energy storage solutions. Finally, the gaps in applications of thermo-analytical techniques for characterization and quality control of energy storages devices are identified with conclusion for further improvements including international standardizations and implementation of these standards into metrology system and manufacturing.
