Battery thermal management materials, compositions and systems are provided. Exemplary embodiments include a battery thermal management member. The battery thermal management member can include a heat protection layer and a resilient layer. Also provided are methods of preparing or manufacturing such battery thermal management members. In certain embodiments, the heat protection layer can include mica, microporous silica, ceramic fiber, mineral wool, aerogel or combinations thereof.

Components and systems to manage thermal runaway issues in electric vehicle batteries are provided. Exemplary embodiments include a heat control member. The heat control member can include reinforced aerogel compositions that are durable and easy to handle, have favorable performance for use as heat control members and thermal barriers for batteries, have favorable insulation properties, and have favorable reaction to fire, combustion and flame-resistance properties. Also provided are methods of preparing or manufacturing such reinforced aerogel compositions. In certain embodiments, the composition has a silica-based aerogel framework reinforced with a fiber and including one or more opacifying additives.

A method of producing a monolithic body from a porous matrix includes using low temperature solidification in an additive manufacturing process.

The present disclosure relates to a method for synthesis of a porous solid oxide matrix. The method includes synthesizing a composite by co-precipitating a porous ceramic material with a sacrificial material. The composite is sintered and the sacrificial material of the sintered composite is reduced. A porous solid oxide matrix is formed from the reduced and sintered composite. Porosity of the solid oxide matrix is controlled by a volume fraction of the sacrificial material or sintering temperature and a volume fraction of the sacrificial material. Pore size of the solid oxide matrix is controlled by sintering temperature and a volume fraction of the sacrificial material.
