Over the next decade, the electrification of automobiles is expected to rise dramatically as automakers pivot toward electrification. Rechargeable Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are considered the electric heart within the electrification sector. It is essential that Li-ion batteries operate reliably and safely. One of the fundamental requirements for safe and reliable operation is real-time temperature monitoring of the battery. The heat generated inside the battery must be controlled to improve its lifecycle, reliability, and safety. If it is overheated, chemical energy quickly converts to thermal energy, leading to overheating, and then a thermal runway may cause failure, fire, or even explosion. An effective battery management system (BMS) ensures proper thermal management, but it relies on accurate temperature sensing during all operating states. The current sensing technology focuses on monitoring temperature using thermocouple sensors placed at discrete and strategic locations along battery surfaces, which lack the required spatial resolution to provide a complete thermal map. In situ temperature sensing inside each cell is therefore of paramount importance for proper BMS. In situ sensors require miniature, flexible and highly stable temperature sensors that can be placed inside the battery pack and should be compatible with environments inside the cells. Such a technological solution is highly sought after to reduce failure and improve safety. This catalyst project is to initiate first stage of collaboration between Canadian microsensor researchers and an international battery thermal research group at India will test the viability of a robust, in situ, and microsensors for Li-ion battery thermal system. It is expected to create a pivotal shift in the thermal management of EV batteries, thus creating opportunities for long-term collaboration, grants, funded projects and many economic opportunities in battery technology. The outcome of this research will increase Canada's leadership and competitiveness and thus contribute to shaping Canada's future in the battery and EV sectors.

未来十年，随着汽车制造商转向电气化，汽车电气化预计将大幅增长。可充电锂离子 (Li-ion) 电池被认为是电气化领域的电力心脏。锂离子电池可靠、安全地运行至关重要。安全可靠运行的基本要求之一是电池的实时温度监测。必须控制电池内部产生的热量，以提高其生命周期、可靠性和安全性。如果过热，化学能很快转化为热能，导致过热，然后热跑道可能会导致故障、火灾，甚至爆炸。有效的电池管理系统 (BMS) 可确保适当的热管理，但它依赖于所有工作状态下准确的温度感测。当前的传感技术侧重于使用放置在电池表面离散和战略位置的热电偶传感器来监测温度，这些传感器缺乏提供完整热图所需的空间分辨率。因此，每个电池内部的原位温度传感对于正确的 BMS 至关重要。原位传感器需要微型、灵活且高度稳定的温度传感器，这些传感器可以放置在电池组内部，并且应与电池内部的环境兼容。这种技术解决方案因减少故障和提高安全性而受到高度追捧。该催化剂项目旨在启动加拿大微传感器研究人员与印度国际电池热研究小组之间的第一阶段合作，将测试用于锂离子电池热系统的强大原位微传感器的可行性。预计它将给电动汽车电池的热管理带来关键转变，从而为电池技术领域的长期合作、赠款、资助项目和许多经济机会创造机会。这项研究的成果将提高加拿大的领导地位和竞争力，从而有助于塑造加拿大在电池和电动汽车领域的未来。
