Review of specific heat capacity determination of lithium-ion battery

This paper reviews different methods for determination of specific heat capacity of lithium-ion batteries. Thermal modelling of lithium-ion battery cells and battery packs is of great importance. The specific heat capacity of the battery is an essential parameter for the establishment of the thermal model, and it is affected by many factors (such as SOC, temperature, etc.). The scientific purpose of this paper is to collect, sort out and compare different measurement methods of specific heat capacity of battery. The advantages and disadvantages of different methods are discussed. The applicability of each measurement method for various battery types and the required experimental conditions are discussed. The factors influencing the specific heat capacity of the battery are also summarized.
