Essai non-destructive par ultrason

La méthode d’essai par ultrasons est une méthode de caractérisation non destructive qui permet d’obtenir des informations sur l’état d’une batterie de manière rapide et non coûteuse. Parmi les applications des ultrasons comprennent le mouillage de l’électrolyte, la formation de gaz, le placage au lithium, etc.

 

Ultrasound testing method is nondestructive characterization method for obtaining information about the state of a battery in a fast and non-expensive way. Among the applications of ultrasound are electrolyte wetting, gas formation, Li plating etc.

Main text:

Gas formation, lithium plating, bad electrolyte wetting are important issues to target for safer and more reliable lithium-ion batteries. The nondestructive analyzing techniques are the pivotal tools to estimate the state of an already prepared battery.  One of such analyzing techniques is ultrasound testing.

Ultrasonic waves have different propagation speed in different mediums. These differences in propagation speed make it possible to use ultrasound as a non-destructive technique for battery characterization. High frequency ultrasound, focused scanning coupled up with AI tools could help analyze battery conditions.

 

The applications of the ultrasound testing:

  1. Electrolyte wetting

 

 

2. Early-stage gassing or leak detection

 

 

 

3. SOC monitoring

 

 

 

4. Lithium plating
