Every country in the world wants to gain the title of a developed country rather than a developing or undeveloped country. Without the availability of energy, the objective could not fulfill. This leads to the global issue of environmental pollution due to the excessive use of fossil fuels. The transport sector is the biggest contributor around 24% of direct carbon dioxide emission to the environment after fuel combustion. Concept of electric vehicles (EVs) strongest alternative for internal combustion engines, which may reduce air pollution up to a certain extent. Li-ion batteries gaining popularity due to their numerous advantages like zero-emission, recyclability, good power density in electronic appliances and EVs. Although Li-ion batteries are having positive attribute, it has few limitations of overheating due to excessive heat generation. The Li-ion batteries perform better for the temperature range 15 0C to 40 0C. The operation of batteries below and above the given limits may lead to serious issues like an explosion or short circuit. Therefore it is essential to provide an optimal thermal management system. The paper comprises the effect of temperature on battery performance and battery thermal management systems. Henceforth many of the researchers working extensively on developing an optimized battery thermal management system. Researchers categorized these systems into two basic types i.e. active and passive cooling. Active cooling preferred the use of air and liquid to fulfill the target, while passive cooling utilizes phase change materials (PCM), heat pipes, and nanomaterials. Each of these methods has its limitations and advantages. While choosing a BTMS few factors need to be kept in mind like volumetric constraints, cost of installations, and efficiency of the system.
