This paper investigates heat generation in commercial 18 650 lithium-ion battery cells and the thermal management challenges from their high energy density and electrochemical processes. Thermal effects can degrade performance, accelerate aging, and increase thermal runaway risk. Using isothermal calorimetry and EIS, the study emphasizes optimizing thermal behavior to improve battery efficiency, safety, and durability.
