In recent years, there has been a growing demand for electrical vehicles, which are more energy efficient and environmentally friendly than their traditional counterpart. One of the crucial aspects of electrical systems is energy storage. A promising option for energy storage is Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their high energy density, longer life cycles, and faster charging when compared to other batteries. The disadvantage of employing LIBs is that they are more difficult to maintain because they are more prone to failure, and they are greatly dependent on the system's thermal behavior, which has led to an emphasis in research on battery thermal management systems (BTMSs). The BTMS aims to address this issue by limiting the temperature fluctuation of the battery cells to maintain the average temperature within recommended limits throughout the charging and discharging processes. There has been a continuous interest in nanofluids and phase change materials (PCMs) because of their unique properties and their potential thermal application as a cooling medium for high-density batteries. Recent studies have aimed to use different active and passive methods with varying materials and cooling system geometries to achieve the highest possible thermal performance. The current review aims to outline the recent studies on thermal management systems for LIBs. Three main sections have been presented in this paper. The first section reviewed studies on nanofluids in different BTMSs, the other one highlighted techniques adopted to overcome the low thermal conductivity drawback in PCMs for BTMs, and the last one focuses on the effects of combining both cooling approaches. We believe that the present review paper provides useful information that could be a significant step toward developing high-performance BTMS. • A summary of the most recent research on BTMS of LIBs. • Nanofluids and PCM-based BTMS attract significant interest in LIBs. • PCM with carbon additives enhance LIB pack temperature uniformity. • Incorporation of fins has demonstrated effectiveness in improving BTMS performance. • Metal foams with PCMs enhance BTMS performance via improved thermal conductivity.
