Lithium‐ion/sodium‐ion batteries are the most advanced energy storage devices, but the structural evolution of electrode materials, electrolyte decomposition, the growth of Li/Na dendrites and the generation of heat and gas inside batteries represent serious safety issues. Therefore, it is necessary to real time monitor the parameter changes inside these devices. Herein, the recent important progress in a variety of advanced intelligent detection techniques based on the detection of heat, gas, and strain is introduced and discussed. The perfect combination of electrochemical parameters and these advanced intelligent sensing techniques allows the monitoring of the dynamic chemical and thermal evolution during a cell's operation without any impact, which is crucial to making meaningful advancements in energy storage devices. This work provide access to advanced diagnostic tools to guide the rational design of high‐safety batteries.

“…Each ultrasound capture and temperature had a different voltage, current, maximum cycle capacity, and state of charge after all of the data had been gathered with synced timestamps between the cycling data and ultrasound data. The whole half cycle was used to compute state of charge by the following equation: state of charge = charge capacity discharge capacity nobreak0em.25em⁡ ( Ah ) total half cycle capacity nobreak0em.25em⁡ ( Ah ) Another study reported an interesting strategy for using gas sensors to detect CO 2 gas release with concentrations of over 30 000 ppm (panels b and c of Figure ). A gas detection technique for battery cell venting in battery packs was suggested in this work.…”

Energy and environmental issues are more pressing than ever with the task of reducing carbon emissions and finding new fuel sources to replace fossil fuels. One of the directions that is in line with the requirements of the time is to develop electric cars using completely electrified batteries to replace gasoline. Considering their high energy density and lengthy cycle life, lithium-ion batteries are frequently utilized in electric cars. The personal and property safety of passengers is gravely threatened by the spontaneous combustion accidents of electric cars caused by the thermal runaway of lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, studies on early warning as well as solutions to overcome when a thermal runaway incident occurs have become increasingly important and urgent. The current study provides advancements in the thermal management, electrical management, and structural design of early warning battery thermal runaway applications in electric vehicles. This minireview aims to provide the most concise but complete information to provide an overview of the story of thermal runaway and development trends for early warning in the next decade.
