Entroview (2021): Battery Diagnostics via Thermodynamic Parameter Measurement
Entroview, a French startup founded in 2021, is pioneering a novel approach to battery diagnostics by measuring thermodynamic parameters. The company’s core innovation lies in its ability to analyze the internal state of lithium-ion batteries without invasive procedures, focusing on entropy and enthalpy changes during charge and discharge cycles.
The technology enables precise characterization of battery health, safety, and performance by detecting early signs of degradation, such as lithium plating, electrode cracking, and electrolyte decomposition. This non-destructive method provides real-time data on state-of-charge (SoC), state-of-health (SoH), and thermal behavior, which is critical for applications in electric vehicles, renewable energy storage, and consumer electronics.
Key advantages include enhanced predictive maintenance, improved safety through early fault detection, and extended battery lifespan. Entroview’s solution aims to address industry challenges in battery management systems (BMS) by offering more accurate and reliable diagnostics compared to traditional voltage and current-based monitoring.
The startup is targeting collaborations with automotive manufacturers, battery producers, and energy companies to integrate its technology into next-generation BMS. By leveraging thermodynamic insights, Entroview seeks to accelerate the development of safer, more efficient, and longer-lasting energy storage solutions.
