Development of 2-in-1 Sensors for the Safety Assessment of Lithium-Ion Batteries via Early Detection of Vapors Produced by Electrolyte Solvents

Abstract

In this study, we investigate the gas-sensing capabilities of semiconducting metal oxides for detecting vapors produced by common battery components, such as solvents, salts, or their degassing products. Our main objective is to develop sensors capable of early detection of common vapors produced by malfunctioning batteries to prevent explosions and further safety hazards.
