ABSTRACT
Commercial batteries have been largely applied in mobile electronics, electric vehicles, and scalable energy storage systems. However, thermal runaway of batteries still obstructs the reliability of electric equipment. Considering this, building upon recent investigations of energy thermal safety, commercially available organogel fiber-based implantable sensors have been developed through 3D printing technology for first operando implantable monitoring of cell temperature. The printed fibers present excellent reliability and superelasticity because of internal supramolecular cross-linking. High temperature sensitivity (-39.84% °C-1/-1.557% °C-1) within a wide range (-15 to 80 °C) is achieved, and the corresponding mechanism is clarified based on in situ temperature-dependent Raman technology. Furthermore, taking the pouch cell as an example, combined with finite element analysis, the real-time observation system of cell temperature is successfully demonstrated through an implanted sensor with wireless Bluetooth transmission. This enlightening approach paves the way for achieving safety monitoring and smart warnings for various electric equipment.
