Description
Summary:Operando monitoring and modeling of complex thermal events inside batteries during operation is critical to understand its thermal runaway mechanism and establish early warning strategies. In this work, a compact sensing system is introduced to sodium-ion batteries based on fiber Bragg gratings. It is capable of monitoring the internal and surface temperatures during batteries operation by arranging optical fibers inside and on the surface of a commercial 18,650 battery, respectively. By applying 2 Hz square-wave current pulse on the battery, the heat transfer coefficients and the heat capacity are obtained. We observe a reproducible and stable correlation between the internal temperature and the surface temperature. Further analysis reveals a simplified thermal transfer model for predicting the internal temperature from the monitor of the surface temperature. The accuracy of the temperature estimation is within 0.5 ℃ and 2.9 ℃ when the charging/discharging conditions are varied from 1 C to 3 C. This operando monitoring and prediction approach of temperature in batteries provides in situ observation and early warning of thermal runaways of different batteries with high accuracy and low cost.
