Abstract: A system for in-situ mapping of electrode potential and thermal distribution is provided. The system includes a test device. The test device includes an anode, a cathode, a reference electrode, a separator disposed between the anode and the cathode, and a voltage potential sensor configured for monitoring a voltage potential at a first position upon one of the anode or the cathode as compared to a voltage potential of the reference electrode. The system further includes an infrared sensor device configured for collecting data describing temperature variation across a surface of one of the anode or the cathode.

Abstract: A monitoring assembly for an electrochemical cell of a secondary lithium battery includes a porous sensory structure and a transducer. The porous sensory structure includes a sensory layer disposed on a major surface of a porous separator and a buffer layer disposed between the sensory layer and a facing surface of a negative electrode layer. The buffer layer electrically isolates the sensory layer from the facing surface of the negative electrode layer. The sensory layer includes an electrically conductive material and is configured to produce a response to an input signal or to a physical stimulus received within the electrochemical cell. The transducer is configured to process the response produced by the sensory layer to generate an output signal indicative of a diagnostic condition within the electrochemical cell.

Abstract: A battery includes multiple stacked cells. Each cell includes an anode layer and a cathode layer separated by a permeable separator. At least one temperature probe structure is disposed on the permeable separator between the anode layer and the cathode layer of a first cell of the stacked cells. The temperature probe structure includes at least a first material partially coating the permeable separator and a second material partially coating the permeable separator. The first material overlaps with the second material at an overlap region. A first sensor output terminal is connected to the first material and a second sensor terminal is connected to the second material. A voltage differential between the first sensor output terminal and the second sensor output terminal corresponds to an average temperature of the overlap region.

Abstract: A system for inspecting a battery component includes a heating device configured to heat a surface of the battery component to a selected temperature, an optical-visible imaging device configured to take an optical image of the surface, a thermal imaging device configured to take a thermal image of the surface, and a processor configured to acquire the optical image and the thermal image. The processor is configured to correlate the thermal image with the optical image, identify a feature of interest in at least one of the optical image and the thermal image, determine a geometric characteristic and a temperature characteristic associated with the feature of interest, and determine whether the feature of interest is a defect based on the geometric characteristic and the temperature characteristic.

Abstract: A method of making a reference electrode assembly for an electrochemical cell according to various aspects of the present disclosure includes providing a subassembly including a separator layer and a current collector layer coupled to the separator layer. The method further includes providing an electrode ink including an electroactive material, a binder, and a solvent. The method further includes creating a reference electrode precursor by applying an electroactive precursor layer to the current collector layer. The electroactive precursor layer covers greater than or equal to about 90% of a superficial surface area of a surface of the current collector layer. The electroactive precursor layer includes the electrode ink. The method further includes creating the reference electrode assembly by drying the electroactive precursor layer to remove at least a portion of the solvent, thereby forming an electroactive layer. The electroactive layer is solid and porous.
