Sensors and self-healing functionalities need to be adapted to detection of the critical degradation processes during cell electrochemical or chemical ageing. Different battery chemistries can be addressed with a focus on most critical degradation processes.

Proof of concept of coupling sensors and self-healing agents via BMS should be demonstrated. Clear benefit of embedding smart functionalities into battery cells should be demonstrated and approach needs to be adaptable to battery cells mass production processes and not hinder subsequent recycling process. Estimation of QRL over the life span should be assessed and the competitive advantage over alternative approaches like replacement or recycling or second-use should be demonstrated.

Τhis call topic addresses the need to develop new sensors and self-healing functionalities which can give the batteries of the future increased life-time, efficient re-use and better commercial success. The benefit of these innovation on the global battery safety should be demonstrated.
