What is a composite battery?
The most recent composite battery construction resembled the structure of carbon fibre reinforced polymer composites. Carbon fibres function simultaneously as anode and cathode and reinforcement, whereas the structural polymer electrolyte serves also as matrix, holding the fibres in place, protecting them, and enabling load transfer.
Can composite batteries be multifunctional?
Previous work focused on the development on structural battery components, such as carbon fibre-based electrodes, structural electrolytes and carbon fibre reinforced battery casings, however, as of yet, truly multifunctional composite batteries still have to be realised.
Can structural composite batteries be made from carbon fibre cathodes?
A layup process has been proposed to produce such type of structural composite batteries; carbon fibre cathodes [ 32 ], separator containing polymer electrolyte precursor and carbon fibre anodes with additional metal current collectors [ 33] should be laminated and consolidated.
Can carbon fibre reinforced anodes and cathodes be used in a structural battery?
Our proof-of-concept demonstrates that multifunctional full cell structural composite batteries can be realised using both carbon fibre reinforced anodes and cathodes. The preparation of carbon fibre reinforced electrodes/gel electrolyte prepregs and consolidation into a structural battery were also demonstrated to be feasible.
What are structural battery composites (SBCs)?
Structural battery composites (SBCs) represent an emerging multifunctional technology in which materials functionalized with energy storage capabilities are used to build load-bearing structural components.
Do structural lithium ion batteries use carbon fibers?
