Embedding smart functionalities into battery cells (embedding sensing and self-healing functionalities to monitor and self-repair battery cells)

Batteries are operating in different conditions and although preventive approach during battery operation is a must, we need to develop curative functionalities which would enable battery operation in different non-ideal conditions while being transparent through the nasty chemical environment of the cell. Smart functionalities with sensing developed to detect irreversible reactions and self-healing functionalities designed to repair damage occurred within the cell, Europe can develop cells with much higher quality, better reliability and longer cycle life. This call is building on the long-term research roadmap of BATTERY 2030+. The proposal should also cover the contribution and collaboration to the BATTERY 2030+ large scale initiative.
