PHOENIX aims to develop battery cells with integrated sensors (mechanical, enhanced impedance spectroscopy, temperature, gas,
reference electrode) and self-healing (SH) functionalities (magnetically activated polymers, thermally activated polymers, metallic
organic frameworks coated separator, core-shell NMC composites). Tailor made triggering devices to activate SH mechanisms will
be developed, prototyped and demonstrated in Generation 3b and 4a Li Ion batteries. A Battery Management System (BMS), capable
of detecting defective operations and of triggering SH functionalities will be developed with in-line communication
