Operando spatiotemporal super-resolution of thermal events monitoring in lithium metal batteries

National Science Review, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 12(5)

Published: March 6, 2025

Safety challenges in high-capacity lithium metal batteries primarily arise from thermal runaway, leading to smoke emissions, fires or explosions. Real-time monitoring of internal temperature distribution is necessary ensure safe operation and enhance cell performance. However, current methods lack dimensionality, precision, timeliness, hindering the detection uneven deposition localized variations that drive capacity fade safety risks. Here, we develop an operando spatiotemporal super-resolution system capable real-time, mapping across anode with a record-high spatial resolution 1820 points cm-², temporal 1 frame per 3 seconds. Utilizing optical frequency-domain reflectometry, Archimedean spiral fiber configuration, algorithms, capture critical identify hotspots during cycling. To improve uniformity reduce risks, apply protective strategies, including pyramid patterning, copper mesh polylactic acid. Cells these measures, as monitored by our system, show reduced average temperatures, delayed degradation fewer hotspots. This innovative approach not only integrates cutting-edge technology energy storage diagnostics but also establishes robust framework for assessing management thus significantly advancing density sustainable applications.

Moreover, presence f‐Ti substrate suppresses volume expansion , while alleviates interlayer stacking increases sites during charging/discharging processes. Consequently, LICs consisting activated carbon (AC) display density (6.67 kW kg −1 ), (126.26 Wh superior stability. Furthermore, functional theory (DFT) calculations experimental characterizations reveal that built‐in electric field, induced by modulating work function MXene, enables directional electron transfer interfaces, thereby lowering diffusion barrier Li ions boosting electrochemical kinetics composites. This provides guidance designing unique surface‐interface structures carrier transport heterojunctions.
