Topic: "Operando battery monitoring using lab-on-fibre optical sensing technologies"
Abstract
A crucial piece in renewable-energy power-management puzzle lies in the development of renewable energy storage devices such as lithium-ion batteries—poorly-understood degradation mechanisms that occur upon repeated cycling, and that increase the risk of catastrophic battery failure. To develop the next-generation of safe, high-capacity renewable-energy storage, it is therefore crucial to develop methods that monitor the battery’s physical and chemical state-of-health and operation in real-time. Right now, battery assessing methods are typically offline and simulation based. This talk will review the recent developments of in situ fibre-optic analytical technique that will enable us to monitor the state of health of batteries continuously during operation and to minimize their degradation. This method fills a very important gap in current battery monitoring methods, will guide the design of new materials, and will optimize existing and new electro-chemistries.
