Battery packs in EVs are complex systems, and their assembly requires advanced adhesive technology to ensure structural integrity, thermal management, and longevity.
They prevent water, dust, and corrosive elements from compromising the internal components of the battery module. Adhesives are used at several locations in battery modules to help dissipate heat, insulate electrical components, seal off against environmental damage, and create strong structural bonds.
Structural adhesives are used in EV battery packs to create bonds that can withstand various environmental conditions and mechanical loads. These adhesives provide shear and tensile strength to increase protection against external forces such as impacts, vibrations, and loads. With structural adhesives, battery components are stronger together.
For this reason, thermal adhesives are used at several locations in battery modules, such as between individual cells, or between cells and cooling plates. Structural adhesives are used in EV battery packs to create bonds that can withstand various environmental conditions and mechanical loads.
Thermally conductive adhesives, sealants, and gap fillers are critical in EV battery thermal management and safety. Battery cell, module, and pack designers should be aware that traditional silicone-based thermal gap fillers may cause contamination that can result in contact failure.
As the automotive market accelerates the transition to EVs, material science plays a significant part in innovative solutions for battery design. Specifically, adhesives and sealants have a critical role in EV battery durability, performance, and manufacturing.

High power density batteries have the potential to be rapidly charged, possibly in a few minutes or less, and can also deliver high peak discharge powers. Normally increases in power density are only possible through significant reductions in energy density, however emerging materials research is showing this needs not to be the case.
Rechargeable batteries (secondary batteries) are now ubiquitous in the modern world. Yet, current battery technologies are by no means ideal, and significant improvements in electrochemical energy storage technologies would be of great interest to a broad community of users.
In rechargeable batteries (secondary batteries), the energy density (amount of energy stored per unit mass or volume) and power density (the maximum practical sustained power output per unit mass or volume) are key figures of merit ( Fig. 2 ).
