Non-invasive advanced sensory system for real-time monitoring and diagnosis of electrolyzers, electrolytes and a lithium-ion battery (lib)

Abstract

A non-intrusive sensing system for monitoring an electrochemical device and a method of operating the non-intrusive sensing system can include multi-static ultrasonic sensors for detecting data indicative of a property of electrolytic media in an electrochemical device, an acoustic sensor for detecting and measuring a signature of electrodes associated with a health condition of the electrochemical device. A temperature sensor can be used to detect surface temperature data and correlate the surface temperature data with the signature identified and extracted by the acoustic sensor and the data indicative of the property of the electrolytic media. The data detected by the multi-static ultrasonic sensors, the signature detected by the acoustic sensor, and the surface temperature data identified can be subject to feature extraction and processing by a detection and prediction model to produce information pertaining to the safety, reliability and operating efficiency of the electrochemical device.
