However, its cooling performance is only preliminarily explored used in small cylindrical cells or a single large cell. The effect on multiple large-capacity cells has not be verified yet. In this study, a micro heat pipe arrays@MIL-101(Cr) hybrid battery thermal management system is proposed, and its cooling performance of different number of battery modules at different discharge rates is studied. Experimental results show that MIL-101(Cr) is evenly distributed, and the water vapor adsorption capacity reached 1.65 g/g. The maximum temperature of the micro heat pipe arrays@MIL-101(Cr) group was 36.42°C in the experiment of the four-cell battery pack at 1C discharge rate, which was 12.98°C lower than that of the natural cooling group and 3.05°C lower than that of the micro heat pipe arrays group. With the increase of the number of cells, the maximum temperature of the battery pack rises from 43.12°C to 47.37°C, and the temperature difference rises from 1.53°C to 5.57°C at 2C discharge rate. As the discharge rate increases, the maximum temperature of the battery consisting of four cells rises from 36.42°C to 47.37°C, and the maximum temperature difference rises from 2.87°C to 5.57°C, which suggests that the current micro heat pipe arrays@MOF based battery thermal management system be combined with an active thermal management system to ensure temperature control in high-rate and multi-battery modules.
