Abstract

The present disclosure relates to materials and systems to manage thermal runaway issues in battery modules. In exemplary embodiments, a battery module includes battery cells separated by spacer elements. To mitigate thermal runaway issues, spacer elements may be extended to the interior surface of the enclosure. A seal is formed between the spacer elements and the interior wall to form a thermal barrier between adjacent battery cells.
