“…[ 19 ] A similar approach was taken by Yu et al to make structural battery negative half cells. [ 21 ] The laminated structural battery half cells were made from T700 CF electrodes in a bicontinuous epoxy/ionic liquid structural electrolyte. The half cells were made into coin cells and electrochemically cycled versus lithium (Li) metal.…”

Engineering materials that can store electrical energy in structural load paths can revolutionize lightweight design across transport modes. Stiff and strong batteries that use solid‐state electrolytes and resilient electrodes and separators are generally lacking. Herein, a structural battery composite with unprecedented multifunctional performance is demonstrated, featuring an energy density of 24 Wh kg−1 and an elastic modulus of 25 GPa and tensile strength exceeding 300 MPa. The structural battery is made from multifunctional constituents, where reinforcing carbon fibers (CFs) act as electrode and current collector. A structural electrolyte is used for load transfer and ion transport and a glass fiber fabric separates the CF electrode from an aluminum foil‐supported lithium–iron–phosphate positive electrode. Equipped with these materials, lighter electrical cars, aircraft, and consumer goods can be pursued.

“…Remarkable achievements have been obtained with polymer composites allowing the improvement of their thermal, mechanical and electrical properties for application in areas such as construction, electronics, consumer products, sensors and actuators, biological applications, and energy, among others. [1][2][3] The main recent focus is to obtain high performance composite materials based on natural polymers and biopolymers, in order to reduce the use of polymers obtained from crude oil, while maintaining functional performance. 4 The prex 'bio' in biopolymers means that they are produced from biological sources, including biomasse.g.…”

“…The study proved how the OLS can be used to tune the electrical and mechanical properties of a bicontinuous electrolyte, showing a huge room for improvement for this kind of technologies. The same research group in 2017 [ 82 ] manufactured a structural negative electrode with carbon fibers and an SPE realized with diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) epoxy resin E51 doped with a liquid electrolyte. The latter was realized with bis (trifluoromethane) sulfonimide lithium salt (LiTf 2 N) dissolved in a mixture of ionic liquid and 1 wt% of PC at the concentration of 2.3 mol/L.…”

Structural power composites stand out as a possible solution to the demands of the modern transportation system of more efficient and eco-friendly vehicles. Recent studies demonstrated the possibility to realize these components endowing high-performance composites with electrochemical properties. The aim of this paper is to present a systematic review of the recent developments on this more and more sensitive topic. Two main technologies will be covered here: (1) the integration of commercially available lithium-ion batteries in composite structures, and (2) the fabrication of carbon fiber-based multifunctional materials. The latter will be deeply analyzed, describing how the fibers and the polymeric matrices can be synergistically combined with ionic salts and cathodic materials to manufacture monolithic structural batteries. The main challenges faced by these emerging research fields are also addressed. Among them, the maximum allowable curing cycle for the embedded configuration and the realization that highly conductive structural electrolytes for the monolithic solution are noteworthy. This work also shows an overview of the multiphysics material models developed for these studies and provides a clue for a possible alternative configuration based on solid-state electrolytes.
