Math2Market, together with its partners in the structur.e project, has reached an important project milestone: Digital material models - so-called Digital Twins - of the microstructure of the anode and the cathode have been created and validated based on 3D CT-scans.

Using these Digital Twins, the influence of different microstructuring processes on battery performance can now be investigated with the aid of simulations. In the further course of the project, microstructuring processes for series production will be developed in digital and experimental parameter studies.
