**Quantum Monitoring for Transport and Infrastructure Operations (Q-MOTION)** is a feasibility project to explore how next-generation quantum sensors can improve the safety, reliability and lifetime of high-energy battery packs used across transport. The team will evaluate optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) which measure tiny magnetic fields produced b...

This project will develop and commercialise sensor technology developed in a Faraday Institution Industrial Fellowship between CDO2 and the University of Strathclyde (UoS) to develop new tools to improve the efficiency and performance of battery manufacturing in the UK. It will involve collaboration with German SME PhySens to optimise the sensors and deli...

Improving battery charge and discharge performance is a key area of battery development. Many charging strategies have been proposed and evaluated, extending beyond the standard CC-CV (Constant Current -- Constant Voltage) profile and adding a range of pulsed charging profiles including relaxation periods and discharge phases. These charging strategies ha...

CDO2 has developed the CDA-16 battery current density analyser as a bench-top battery cell analysis and testing system. This works by using our 16cm x 16cm sensor array to generate a current density image of a cell under test. This allows electrochemists and other battery researchers to visualise the spatial distribution of the current flow in a battery c...

Electric propulsion is an essential part of the future of aviation, as we aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants, reduce airport noise, and reduce flying costs. This project will bring together two aircraft companies and a university who all want to deliver and exploit electric flight. Already the companies have aircraft, either now o...

The SmartBat project will demonstrate a new technology for flexible battery pack design and assembly, which allows the integration of sensor and switch components to optimise pack energy density and safety. The vision for the project is that the SmartBat technology will become the industry standard for the assembly of "smart" battery packs with cell-level...

_It is anticipated that 50% of vehicle production will be wholly or partially electric by 2030\. This project aims to commercialise known quantum technology to address identified challenges in the manufacture of batteries and lithium cells. Quantum technology enables highly sensitive measurements of magnetic fields. This project will use these magnetic me...

"The growth in the electrification of transport, including electric vehicles (EVs), has been driven by lithium-ion batteries. However, to make the next-generation of vehicles cheaper and more efficient, we need to be able to monitor, diagnose and respond to batteries in real-time. This project aims to combine new types of sensors to feed data into a batte...

"This project will assess and characterise new and existing techniques for measuring the current flow through EV batteries including based upon emerging quantum sensor technology. A new generation of battery management systems can be developed as a result of these measurement to enhance the life and performance of the battery pack in consumer vehicles. Th...
