Short announcement:

In the scope of INSTABAT project, the paper “Simultaneous Strain and Temperature Discrimination in 18650 Li-ion Batteries Using Polarization-Maintaining Fiber Bragg Gratings”, was published on 10/11/22 on the Batteries Journal (IF:5.94).

In this work, a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor network inscribed in a polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber is proposed to proceed with a multipoint simultaneous temperature and strain discrimination in different locations on a cylindrical Li-ion battery. The use of PM-FBG sensors successfully demonstrates their feasibility in locally tracking and discriminating strain and temperature shifts in a battery surface. To our knowledge, this is the first study using the application of PM-FBG sensors to monitor and discriminate critical safety parameters in Li-ion batteries.
