Fabrication of Copper Lithium-ion Battery Case with Integrated Cooling Channels Using Binder Jetting Additive Manufacturing

PI Yue Zhou

This project leveraged binder jetting processes to directly fabricate metallic battery cases integrated with various cooling channels, paving the way for the additive fabrication of metallic thermal management devices applied in the aerospace field.

Findings: Developed heat transfer model for the geometrical design of cooling channels, created files for experimental design and optimized printing & sintering settings, created scale-down prototypes for battery cases with integrated cooling channels.

Scholarly products: Abstract submitted to SciTech, preparing article for publication. Preparing grant application.​
