Researchers from the Instrumentation, Photonics and Control System (IPC) group at the University of Kent have authored one of the most downloaded articles in Measurement: Energy Journal. Their article titled “Sensing-based monitoring systems for electric vehicle battery – A review” has received significant attention from the research community after its publication in June, 2025. 
The article provides a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art sensing technologies for monitoring the state of charge (SOC), state of health (SOH), temperature, and mechanical stress in lithium-ion batteries. It critically examines conventional electrical and thermal sensing methods alongside emerging non-invasive techniques, highlighting their advantages, limitations, and suitability for real-time battery management systems. Particular emphasis is placed on sensor fusion and the growing role of data-driven and AI-based approaches for improving diagnostic accuracy and battery safety.
