英文摘要：

Thermal performance of power battery has an important influence on its performance and safety,and battery thermal management is a research hotspot at home and abroad.The thermogenesis mechanism of power battery was expounded.Types and characteristics of phase change material（PCM）that were appropriate for power battery cooling were introduced.Based on phase change materials in the application of power battery thermal management directly,shape-stabilized phase change materials and microencapsulation of phase change materials in the application of the battery thermal management,the application effect of phase change materials in battery thermal management system were analyzed.Finally,the problems about power battery thermal management system based on phase change materials were analyzed,and prospected its tendency.
