In this paper we present the implementation of a novel lithium ion pouch cell monitoring system that utilizes an optical fiber sensor (OFS). The OFS allows for direct optical interaction of near infrared light with graphite during its electrochemical lithiation process. This sensing system has been tested over multiple partial and full cycles showing repeatable signals that can be directly correlated with the lithiation of graphite. The results suggest that this sensor can function independently in determining the state of lithiation of graphite within a lithium ion battery, which can be used in a state of charge estimation algorithm.

We present optical fiber measurements for cell state determination via simultaneous observation of both electrodes of a lithium-ion-battery. The integration of fiber optics is done using commercial electrodes set up in pouch configuration. This system extends the method, shown previously for the graphite anode. Lithium iron phosphate cathodes suffer from poor optical observability due to the addition of carbon black as conductive agent. Hence, carbon black is locally replaced by an electrochromic marker additive. Transmissions through integrated fibers were monitored during battery cycling and results show that the cell state of charge directly influences both transmission signals. Optical data can be utilized as a parameter independent of electrical measurements to estimate the state of charge.
About Me
AbdulRahman Ghannoum is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Qatar University. He earned his PhD in Chemical Engineering (Nanotechnology) from the University of Waterloo, where he developed a novel method for tracing lithium-ions in batteries using evanescent wave sensors. His research spans fiber-optic sensing technologies for pressure, temperature, and biosensing applications, including recent work on localized surface plasmon resonance sensors.
Dr. Ghannoum has contributed to public health tech by developing algorithms for COVID-19 contact tracing, leading to commercial devices for educational and corporate settings. He is currently working on an AI-powered “Intelligent Bluetooth Virtual Door” for secure, contactless indoor monitoring.
A passionate educator, Dr. Ghannoum has taught engineering students across disciplines and was recognized for teaching excellence. He holds a Certificate in University Teaching from the University of Waterloo. At Qatar University, he aims to build a multidisciplinary group focused on innovative sensing systems for chemical and health-related processes.
