Multifunctional Structures with quasi-solid-state Li-ion Battery Cells and Sensors for Next Generation Climate Neutral Aircraft.
EU-funded project
Funded under the first HE aeronautic call HORIZON-CL5-2021-D5-01-05
About the project
- 36 Months
- 3.47 Mio€ funding
- 8 partners from 6 countries
MATISSE is a project funded by the European Commission
In 2020, the European New Green Deal set the ambitious goal to achieve climate neutrality in all sectors of its economy, including air transport, by 2050.
MATISSE is a 36-month research project funded by the European Commission under the Horizon Europe programme.
Electrification is the only way to reduce at the same time CO2 and non-CO2 emissions.
MATISSE explores smart multifunctional electrical energy storage for hybrid electric aircraft applications. The EU project aims to demonstrate the smart structural battery technology with a multifunctional structure demonstrator capable of power delivery, power management and safety monitoring, to be installed on Pipistrel Velis Electro.

Our objectives
Objective 1
Advance Li-ion battery cell technology, in a non-conventional formulation suitable for bearing structural loads.
Objective 2
Make the structural battery smart, by equipping it with on-cell and in-structure sensors, connected to a chip-based CMU and PLC.
Objective 3
Enable the functional integration of Li-ion cells into solid laminate and sandwich composite structures.
Objective 4
Deliver a multifunctional structure demonstrator capable of power delivery, power management and safety monitoring.

The economic, environmental and social impact of MATISSE
MATISSE has the ambition of gradually bringing this technology to the market, on the hybrid electric commuter and regional aircraft in the next decade (2030/40).
MATISSE will contribute to generating up to 4.000 full-time equivalent highly qualified jobs in the EU; a turnover of 0.8-1.2 billion €/year in the future market of multifunctional structures; its technology will help to save 20+ million tonnes CO2 equivalent emissions per year.

MATISSE is a highly interdisciplinary project
MATISSE is aiming at advancing the SotA in structural batteries in 3 main fields:
- Battery material / electrochemical research
- Aeronautic structures' research
- Microelectronics
MATISSE relies on a diversified portfolio of competences from a consortium 8 partners:
- 5 EU member states (Austria, France, Italy, Slovenia and Germany).
- 1 Associated Country (Israel)
