Goals, activities and expected/achieved results:

High weight and thermal management are currently some of the biggest challenges faced by battery manufacturers. It is in this context that this project arises, with the aim of reducing weight and developing solutions that enhance the maintenance of battery temperatures within a certain range, avoiding fluctuations and maintaining a uniform temperature from cell to cell, essential for their correct functioning and longevity.
