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.
Specifically, multifunctional composites within structural batteries can serve the dual roles of functional composite electrodes for charge storage and structural composites for mechanical load-bearing.
Structural battery composites are one type of such a multifunctional material with potential to offer massless energy storage for electric vehicles and aircraft. Although such materials have been demonstrated, their performance level and consistency must be improved. Also, the cell dimensions need to be increased.
When using composite materials, less energy is necessary for thermal regulation compared with other concepts as a result of the material's insulating effect. This further increases the vehicle's efficiency and lowers the overall power consumption. Figure 5 Textile semi-finished products for battery case production (© SGL Carbon)
Composite materials offer several advantages that make them ideal for battery box applications. Firstly, such composites exhibit an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio, especially if they are further reinforced by particle or fiber materials, such as carbon or glass fibers [5, 6, 7].
Nevertheless, the challenge in developing polymer composites for battery packs lies in ensuring that the representation of material characterization, namely flame retardancy, thermal performance, and mechanical properties, can reflect real-world conditions. However, this is often insufficient.
