A multiplex nanoplasmonic battery sensor for improved battery management

Important results from the project

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The project´s aim was to further develop Insplorion´s battery sensor by enabling selective measurements of temperature and physicochemical changes. The project´s objective was to produce a prototype of a multiplex sensor including sensor probe, hardware and electronics. As it turned out to be more difficult than expected to produce a multiplex sensor probe, this objective has not been fully achieved, but a prototype where two separate sensor probes are used to measure temperature and physicochemical changes respectively has been developed.

Expected long term effects

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The result of this project was a prototype for selectively measuring temperature and physicochemical changes in battery cells. Before the prototype can be used in a lab environment, some work remains with data processing and analysis. However, the results within this project are directly applicable to Insplorion´s research and development instruments within the battery segment; Insplorion M8.

Approach and implementation

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The project has been led by Insplorion and carried out in collaboration with RISE and Mittuniversitetet. Insplorion has been responsible for developing the sensor probe, performing measurements in battery cells and market activities, while RISE has worked with the development of the fiber used in the sensor probe and the hardware components. Mittuniversitetet has worked on developing a thin coating to protect the sensor probe against the aggressive environment inside battery cells. The cooperation between all parties has been efficient and good.
