Abstract
The “breathing effect,” as an inherent phenomenon exhibited by lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) during operation, can serve as a significant basis for identifying the battery's State of Charge (SOC) and State of Health (SOH). However, the existing single-parameter sensor is insufficient to elucidate the operating mechanism owing to the complex behavior of batteries. Herein, a high-performance carbon-based temperature-pressure thin-film (CTPF) sensor is fabricated based on carbon nanotube (CNT)/laser-induced graphene (LIG)/LIG-styrene ethylene butylene styrene (SEBS). The CTPF shows a wide sensing range (≤768 kPa for pressure, −20∼120 °C for temperature), fast pressure response (83 ms) and recovery (156 ms) speed, and good stability (above 5000 pressure cycles, above 2200 min temperature stage-cycles) with only 143 μm thickness. In addition, the CTPF shows good temperature-pressure decoupling performance attributable to its unique multilayer dual-embedded structure. By taking advantage of a cell sensing system (CSS), the “breathing effect” of a single cell is monitored and corresponds with the phase transition stages. A relationship between the module's SOC, C-rate, pressure and temperature is identified, and an anomaly phenomenon “gas evolution-redissolution” in the module is observed, which offers an additional method to monitor the SOC and SOH. Some extreme conditions are also studied for early damage warning. This work offers valuable insights and the foundation for future applications in wearable monitoring of lithium-ion batteries.
期刊介绍:
The journal Carbon is an international multidisciplinary forum for communicating scientific advances in the field of carbon materials. It reports new findings related to the formation, structure, properties, behaviors, and technological applications of carbons. Carbons are a broad class of ordered or disordered solid phases composed primarily of elemental carbon, including but not limited to carbon black, carbon fibers and filaments, carbon nanotubes, diamond and diamond-like carbon, fullerenes, glassy carbon, graphite, graphene, graphene-oxide, porous carbons, pyrolytic carbon, and other sp2 and non-sp2 hybridized carbon systems. Carbon is the companion title to the open access journal Carbon Trends. Relevant application areas for carbon materials include biology and medicine, catalysis, electronic, optoelectronic, spintronic, high-frequency, and photonic devices, energy storage and conversion systems, environmental applications and water treatment, smart materials and systems, and structural and thermal applications.
