Printed arrays of temperature sensors for the Li-Ion battery market in second life. Self-healing effect as a further contribution to resource economy.

We have developed a technology that allows us to create temperature sensors/thermocouples using printing techniques with previously unknown self-healing properties. In addition to being “repairable”, our temperature sensors also show approximately 2 times better sensor sensitivity when measuring temperature, which indirectly increases cost efficiency. We estimate the global market for our innovative temperature sensors in the rechargeable battery segment alone to be around 20 million € per year.

We offer functional paste for screen printing of temperature sensors and thermocouples in arrays or matrix configuration. Other types of sensors, including those for measuring other physical quantities, are possible with this technology, for example magnetic field sensors.
