Conventional battery pack sensors measure the voltage, current and temperature of cells within the pack. However, it is increasingly clear that additional sensors would significantly enhance safety and allow for early warning and even prevention of thermal runaway, and in turn battery fires, in electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems (ESS). Gas sensors, pressure sensors, moisture sensors, humidity sensors and aerosol sensors can all play a role.

Webinar: The Growing Role of Gas Sensors in Battery Pack Systems Date: Thursday 10 July Presenter: Daniel Parr, Technology Analyst, IDTechEx

This article explores the transformative potential of solid-state batteries (SSBs), forecast to be a US$9 billion market by 2035, and provides an in-depth analysis of technological advances, manufacturing progress, commercialization challenges, and global supply chain shifts, particularly in electric vehicle and industrial applications.

Ion exchange membranes are emerging as critical materials in the transition to green energy. Emerging applications in hydrogen fuel cells, water electrolyzers, and redox flow batteries are expected to drive significant market growth through 2035.
