The consortium of the VERSAPRINT project, coordinated by Leitat and formed by 10 partners, gathered online on 5th November 2024 to assess the latest developments and define next steps in the journey towards safer and more sustainable batteries.
The meeting started with a coordination update, reviewing project objectives, key performance indicators (KPIs), intellectual property status, and progress in battery development.
Technical sessions focused on advances in printed components at cell, unit, and module level, including thermal management innovations, multifunctional busbars, and lightweight polymer casings. Partners also discussed the development of simulation tools that support technology replication and shared results from validation activities for both automotive and aeronautic applications.
The session also featured an overview of dissemination efforts, including the launch of the project’s first promotional video, and updates on life cycle assessments (LCA) of key components.
Leitat presented the following highlights, including progress on printed battery building blocks focused on safety and thermal management, ongoing fabrication and testing of two micro-channel designs proposed by CEA to improve cell-to-cell connectivity and early testing results of printed temperature sensors, including measurements on temperature rise and response time.
Although the meeting took place online, the team remains closely connected and committed to the shared goal of delivering high-performance, safe, and climate-neutral battery systems.
