Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and consumer electronics, yet their safety and performance management remain challenging. Ultrasonic detection technology, characterized by its non-destructive and real-time capabilities, has been increasingly applied to monitor the internal states of batteries across multiple dimensions, providing novel insights into battery safety and performance management. This paper systematically reviews the applications of ultrasonic technology in battery safety and performance detection, covering critical issues such as state estimation, thermal runaway, lithium plating, polarization, and gas generation. Ultrasonic technology can sensitively capture internal temperature fluctuations, structural changes, and gas evolution within batteries, supporting early fault detection and accurate state estimation. The future application of ultrasonic detection in performance enhancement, health management, and lifecycle optimization offers significant potential, providing robust support for the innovative development of intelligent battery management systems.
