Integrated cell absorber structures: BayerRecent Research Landscape

Mechanical failure and thermal runaway risks in high-voltage packs increase vehicle weight and safety costs. Integrating load-bearing absorber structures with pressure relief components mitigates impact damage while maintaining energy density.

What technical problems is Bayer addressing in Integrated cell absorber structures?

Hazardous silent vehicle operation

(74)evidences

Mechanical failure or deformation of battery enclosures under vehicle-induced stresses. Enhancing structural robustness prevents internal cell damage and improves safety during impact.

Thermal runaway propagation risk

(57)evidences

Standard battery designs fail to meet the structural and spatial constraints of automotive chassis. Resolving this allows for higher energy density and improved vehicle safety.

Inadequate electrical and thermal connectivity

(50)evidences

Mechanical and thermal stresses during assembly and operation lead to poor or intermittent electrical connections between cells. Ensuring uniform contact stability prevents localized heating and energy loss.

Hazardous internal pressure buildup

(39)evidences

Rapid heat release during cell failure threatens structural integrity and adjacent components. Mitigating this risk ensures vehicle safety and prevents catastrophic battery pack destruction.
