Previous Technique Lithium-ion batteries offer the advantages of high energy density and long lifespan. Therefore, it is widely used in energy storage systems. However, Moisture accumulation in batteries and uncontrolled increase in indoor humidity levels, 15 This reduces battery performance and creates safety risks. This situation is especially true for use in high-humidity environments or harsh environmental conditions. This becomes more noticeable in batteries. The substances that enter or are inside the batteries... The moisture that forms disrupts the electrochemical reactions of the cells, leading to a loss of capacity. This is the reason. In addition, moisture causes rusting in the cells and damage to the internal structural materials. This leads to deterioration. On the other hand, moisture accumulation causes thermal escape (thermal This can increase the risk of runaway and battery electrodes reacting with moisture, gas This can lead to the formation of this gas. The accumulation of this gas can cause the battery to explode. It increases the risk. In systems currently in use, the moisture that forms inside the battery is actually... There are no effective sensor and control systems that can detect this in real time. The previous technique focused only on reactive agents after moisture accumulation. Solutions exist, which makes preventing the damage more difficult. Other On the other hand, to prevent moisture ingress or accumulation in most battery systems, 30 only. permanent sealing methods such as gaskets and fillers. 2 are used.
