How to achieve structural load-bearing/energy storage integration?

One approach is to achieve structural load-bearing/energy storage integration through a combination of composite structure and energy storage units. It is easier to realize with low cost, but the disadvantages are the mechanical strength decays greatly and the interface bonding is relatively weak.

What is a load bearing/energy storage integrated device (Leid)?

Nature Communications 14, Article number: 64 (2023) Cite this article Load bearing/energy storage integrated devices (LEIDs) allow using structural parts to store energy, and thus become a promising solution to boost the overall energy density of mobile energy storage systems, such as electric cars and drones.

What is the difference between energy storage and load-bearing components?

In conventional power supply mode, the energy storage and load-bearing components are independent. The power storage component can store energy but cannot withstand large external forces, while the load-bearing components, such as the shell, can only play the role of protection and support and cannot provide energy storage 4, 5, 6.

Are structural composite energy storage devices useful?

Application prospects and novel structures of SCESDs proposed. Structural composite energy storage devices (SCESDs) which enable both structural mechanical load bearing (sufficient stiffness and strength) and electrochemical energy storage (adequate capacity) have been developing rapidly in the past two decades.

What are structural composite energy storage devices (scesds)?

Structural composite energy storage devices (SCESDs), that are able to simultaneously provide high mechanical stiffness/strength and enough energy storage capacity, are attractive for many structural and energy requirements of not only electric vehicles but also building materials and beyond .

Are high-strength composite materials suitable for electrochemical energy storage?

High-strength composite materials for electrochemical energy storage is attractive for mobile systems. Here the authors demonstrate high-performance load-bearing integrated electrochemical capacitors, which show high strength, large capacitance, and good machinability.
