Abstract
The present solution provides a multifunctional metal-organic (MOF) interface that can be applied between battery cells, battery modules or battery packs and provide thermal isolation and active cooling, as necessary, while also providing absorption for mechanical stress of EV battery. The present solution can include a battery cell that can have an outer surface. A multifunctional material can be coupled with the outer surface of the battery cell. An opening that extends through the multifunctional material can provide thermal convection when the heat is moved through the opening. The multifunctional material can provide thermal insulation when the fluid is not moved through the opening. The multifunctional material can insulate the battery cell from mechanical stress.
