Modular cell interconnect architecture: BayerRecent Research Landscape

Mechanical failure and weight penalties in vehicle integration increase manufacturing costs and safety risks. These innovations engineer the frame geometry and assembly process to ensure structural integrity during high-stress drive cycles.

What technical problems is Bayer addressing in Modular cell interconnect architecture?

Premature battery system degradation

(116)evidences

Mechanical variations and assembly tolerances in modular cell arrays lead to poor electrical connectivity and high contact resistance. Ensuring uniform contact across multiple cells prevents localized overheating and premature module failure.

Inadequate thermal management integration

(36)evidences

Standard battery housings fail to contribute to the mechanical integrity of the vehicle chassis. Integrating the battery as a load-bearing structural element reduces redundant weight and improves crash safety.
