Abstract
Thermal barrier assemblies are provided for traction battery packs. An exemplary thermal barrier assembly may be configured to block or even prevent thermal energy associated with a battery thermal event from moving from cell-to-cell, compartment-to-compartment, and/or cell stack-to-cell stack within the traction battery pack. The thermal barrier assembly may include features such as a protective housing and a thermal insulating barrier provided within the protection housing. The protecting housing may be made of a metallic, ceramic, or polymeric material, for example. The thermal insulating barrier may include an aerogel, a foam, or an inorganic paper, for example.
