Model of tape energy storage device

How does a structure-Battery-integrated energy storage system work?

A structure-battery-integrated energy storage system based on carbon and glass fabrics is introduced in this study. The carbon fabric current collector and glass fabric separator extend from the electrode area to the surrounding structure.

How does thermoplastic tape work?

A thermoplastic tape melted into the fabrics separates the battery and structural parts to prevent penetration of epoxy into the battery part during autoclave molding and leakage of liquid electrolyte. Furthermore, a stainless-steel film blocks moisture penetration in the direction of the thickness.

What is a structure-integrated energy storage system (SI-ESS)?

In this study, a structure-integrated energy storage system (SI-ESS) was proposed, in which composite carbon and glass fabrics were used as current collectors and separators, respectively, and they are placed continuously in the load path of the structure.

How does fused polymer tape work?

The fused polymer tape prevents moisture permeation without physically cutting the fabrics, preventing the epoxy resin of the structural part from penetrating into the battery part or the liquid electrolyte filled in the battery part after curing of the structural battery from leaking into the structural part.

Can tape-casting electrodes and Lipon be used to fabricate asstfbs at low temperatures?

In summary, we demonstrate a feasible strategy for the combination of traditional tape-casting electrodes and LiPON to fabricate ASSTFBs at low temperatures. The close solid-solid contact and viable ion transport of casted LFP/LiPON are demonstrated.

How does mechanical load-bearing capacity affect energy storage?

Accordingly, the effect of the mechanical-load-bearing capacity can be obtained in the entire structure, including the energy storage device. This system will serve as a power source when applied to structural frames such as drones and electric vehicles.
