During the first Battery Innovation Days conference organised by 4 major European actors in the battery research (IPCEI Batteries, Batteries Europe, Battery 2030+ and BEDA), INSTABAT project coordinate by CEA was invited to participate to the panel discussion Progressing in the field of sensors in battery cells to which you are invited to contribute is part of a broader session called Smart battery functionalisation: status and future that will take place from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM on 24th November 2021. The session will be an opportunity for players in the industry to explore how the addition of sensors to the battery and an upgrade to battery management systems will help us better predict the status and lifespan of the battery, and how this will set us on the road towards self-healing batteries. As a deputy coordinator of the INSTABAT project, Olivier RACCURT will participate to session to share the Instabat project vision of the sensing for smart cell and contribute to the definition of future R&D action in this field.
