Abstract:
Accurate detection of thermal runaway gas is the key to ensure the safe and reliable operation of lithium-ion batteries. Aiming at the problems of easy aging, cross-interference and low Raman spectroscopy sensitivity of common methods for thermal runaway gas detection, this paper proposes a thermal runaway gas detection method for lithium-ion batteries based on hollow-core fiber enhanced Raman spectroscopy with synergistic noise reduction. Based on charge coupled device and pinhole synergistic noise reduction, the signal-to-noise ratio is increased by 2.2 times. The detection limits of H
