1. An electronic device comprising:
a housing;
an accommodator disposed in the housing and including at least one gas sensor;
a battery disposed in the housing;
a display;
a memory configured to store information of gas, which leaks from the battery, sensed by the at least one gas sensor and operation control information of the electronic device; and
a processor electrically connected with the memory,
wherein the processor is configured to:
obtain a sensing signal of the gas leaking from the battery using the at least one gas sensor,
control, when the obtained sensing signal of the gas exceeds a first threshold, the display to notify a user via a user interface that the obtained sensing signal of the gas has exceeded the first threshold, and
block, when the obtained sensing signal of the gas exceeds a second threshold, signals for performing at least one function of the electronic device.
