Abstract: 
The large-scale deployment of high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in electric transportation and grid storage has imposed increasingly stringent requirements on battery safety, reliability, and intelligent management. However, the limited observability of internal electrochemical, thermal, and mechanical states remains a fundamental challenge, leading to persistent safety risks, degraded low-temperature performance, and accelerated aging, which collectively hinder the scalable adoption of electrified systems. To overcome these challenges, conventional battery management systems (BMSs) are evolving beyond voltage-current-temperature measurements toward high-fidelity state estimation enabled by advanced nondestructive sensing technologies, including emerging internal and implantable diagnostic concepts. Based on a comprehensive analysis of physical signals associated with material aging and failure mechanisms, this review provides a systematic and critical assessment of nondestructive testing techniques for battery state monitoring. Beyond a conventional technique-oriented summary, recent advances in battery state diagnosis and lifetime management algorithms are examined, with a particular emphasis on multisource physical feature fusion strategies. More importantly, this review establishes a unified framework linking degradation mechanisms, internal physical signals, and state estimation strategies, offering a cross-scale perspective to guide the codesign of advanced sensing technologies and intelligent algorithms, thereby facilitating the development of next-generation BMSs.

概要:高能量密度锂离子电池在电动交通和电网储能中的规模化应用,对电池的安全性、可靠性和智能化管理提出了日益严苛的要求。然而,电池内部电化学、热学和力学状态的可观测性受限仍是一个根本性挑战,导致安全风险持续存在、低温性能下降以及加速老化等问题,阻碍了电气化系统的规模化应用。为克服这些挑战,传统电池管理系统正从电压-电流-温度测量模式,向由先进无损感知技术实现的高保真状态估计演进,其中包括新兴的内部感知与植入式诊断概念。基于对与材料老化及失效机制相关的物理信号的全面分析,本文对电池状态监测领域的无损检测技术进行系统而批判性的评述。同时,进一步审视电池状态诊断与寿命管理算法的最新进展,并特别强调多源物理特征融合策略。更重要的是,本文构建了一个将退化机制、内部物理信号和状态估计策略联系起来的统一框架,提供跨尺度视角以指导先进感知技术与智能算法的协同设计,从而推动下一代电池管理系统的发展。
