  • In recent years, due to the frequent occurrence of lithium-battery accidents caused by thermal runaways, it is particularly important to apply the battery-safety monitoring systems. To improve the performance, extend the cycle life of lithium batteries and avoid the occurrence of those accidents, it is necessary to use sensor technique to monitor the working states of batteries in real-time. Based on the changes of physical variables in the batteries' working states, the commonly used safety detection signals include stress-strain, temperature, and gas. At present, safety-detection sensors for monitoring the signals are widely used in battery-state detection system. However, traditional sensors have some disadvantages, such as large volume, low sensitivity, and poor resistance to electrolytic corrosion. After outlining the working principles of the new fiber Bragg grating sensor, flexible film sensor and semi-conducting gas sensor, this paper summarizes the applications of the above three sensors in detecting stress-strain, temperature, and gas, and discusses the shortcomings of current studies from the perspectives of stability and sensitivity.The shortcomings include the poor applicability of the fiber Bragg grating sensor, the negative impact of the flexible film sensor on battery performance, and the low accuracy and short life of the semi-conducting gas sensor. The questions how to install the sensors into the battery cells in an economical, safe and practical way, how to reduce the influence of the sensors on the cycle performance of batteries in practice, and how to improve the stability, accuracy and sensitivity of sensor-signal transmission are crucial for the development of sensors for safety detection system of lithium-battery, which still need massive research on the sensor and battery design.
