However, under a high charge\/discharge rate, the internal temperature of lithium battery may rise sharply, thus causing safety problems. On the other hand, when the lithium battery is overcharged, the voltage and current may be affected, resulting in battery instability. This study applies the micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology on a flexible substrate, and develops a flexible three-in-one microsensor that can withstand the internal harsh environment of a lithium battery and instantly measure the internal temperature, voltage and current of the battery. Then, the internal information can be fed back to the outside in advance for the purpose of safety management without damaging the lithium battery structure. The proposed flexible  three-in-one microsensor should prove helpful for the improvement of lithium battery design or material development in the future.   <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s150511485","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,5,19]],"date-time":"2015-05-19T10:35:57Z","timestamp":1432031757000},"page":"11485-11498","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["A Flexible Three-in-One Microsensor for Real-Time  Monitoring of Internal Temperature, Voltage and Current  of Lithium Batteries"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Chi-Yuan","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Yuan Ze Fuel Cell Center, Yuan Ze University,  Taoyuan 32003, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Huan-Chih","family":"Peng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Yuan Ze Fuel Cell Center, Yuan Ze University,  Taoyuan 32003, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shuo-Jen","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Yuan Ze Fuel Cell Center, Yuan Ze University,  Taoyuan 32003, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"I-Ming","family":"Hung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Engineering & Materials Science, Yuan Ze University, Taoyuan 32003, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chien-Te","family":"Hsieh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Engineering & Materials Science, Yuan Ze University, Taoyuan 32003, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chuan-Sheng","family":"Chiou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Yuan Ze Fuel Cell Center, Yuan Ze University,  Taoyuan 32003, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yu-Ming","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Yuan Ze Fuel Cell Center, Yuan Ze University,  Taoyuan 32003, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yen-Pu","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Yuan Ze Fuel Cell Center, Yuan Ze University,  Taoyuan 32003, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,5,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"311","DOI":"10.1016\/S0167-2738(02)00067-X","article-title":"A breakthrough in the safety of lithium secondary batteries by coating the cathode material with AlPO4 nanoparticles","volume":"148","author":"Baba","year":"2002","journal-title":"Solid State Ion."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"210","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpowsour.2012.02.038","article-title":"Thermal runaway caused fire and explosion of lithium ion battery","volume":"208","author":"Wang","year":"2012","journal-title":"J.
