Prismatic aluminum-shell lithium batteries offer a combination of stackability, space efficiency, improved heat dissipation, and 

safety features, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, particularly in energy storage systems and electric vehicles. 

As technology advances, these batteries are expected to play a significant role in the future of energy storage, known for their

 flat and stackable design, which offers several advantages in various applications. 

Stackability and Space Efficiency: 

Due to their flat and stackable design, prismatic cells can be easily arranged and stacked in a modular fashion, allowing for 

efficient use of space within a battery pack。

Heat Dissipation: 

The flat shape of prismatic cells aids in heat dissipation compared to some cylindrical designs, which is beneficial for managing 

temperature within the battery pack。

Manufacturability: 

The manufacturing process for prismatic cells may offer advantages in simplicity and efficiency, helping to reduce production costs。

Safety Features: 

Like other lithium-ion batteries, prismatic batteries often include safety features such as overcharge protection, over-discharge 

protection, and thermal management systems to enhance safety during use。

Applications

Prismatic batteries have found widespread application in energy storage systems, particularly in renewable energy storage 

where they can efficiently store energy generated from sources like solar panels or wind turbines. Their design allows for easy 

integration into overall systems, making them convenient for storing and utilizing generated energy. In the energy storage 

power station applications, square aluminum shell lithium batteries with capacities of 280Ah have become the mainstream, 

accounting for a significant market share。

Thermal Management

BTMS are crucial for battery packs in electric vehicles. Research has focused on the optimum cooling surface for prismatic 

lithium batteries based on anisotropic thermal conductivity, dimensions, and metal shell. The aluminum shell can enhance 

the cooling effect, acting as a fin due to its high thermal conductivity。

Safety and Mechanical Response

Investigations into the mechanical response and modeling of prismatic lithium-ion batteries under abusive loading conditions 

are essential for enhancing their overall safety. These studies consider factors such as SOC, SOH and strain rate。
