Surface cooling and tab cooling on a internal temperature and b internal current distribution at the central cross-section of the cell at the end of a 6 C discharge. Time-evolution of the local internal current for 5 locations across the thickness of the cell during a 6 C discharge and a 2 C charge for c surface cooling and d tab cooling. The index k is along the cell thickness direction (i.e., in Fig. 3(a), \(k=1\) for top unit and \(k=5\) for bottom unit).
