Abstract

It has been almost three decades since Nanoscale Thermal Science and Engineering became a well-established research field. Various major breakthroughs in fundamental understanding of thermal transport (phonons, photons, and electrons) at the nanoscale have been achieved in these three decades; however, the impact of these fundamental insights has been primarily targeted toward microelectronics and thermoelectrics applications. In this paper we provide examples of other applications such as Lithium ion battery thermal management and building thermal insulation, where nanoscale thermal science has a significant role to play. We have used time domain thermoreflectance (TDTR) to measure thermal conductivity of Lithium ion battery cathode material. To understand the fundamentals of thermal transport in the cathode material we created a model cathode system as compared engineered samples using pulsed laser deposition technique. We also used 3-omega technique for the engineered system. We have also made highly insulating material using functionalized nanoparticles for building applications. Results show that surface functionalization has a huge impact on thermal conductivity of an assembly of nanoparticle.
