lightweight, structural energy-storage
components that would permit automakers
to integrally mold battery components within
composite auto body-panel laminates.
The technology, designed to improve the
utility and efficiency of future electric
vehicles (EVs)
GOOD IS NOT ENOUGH GOOD
 The heavier the vehicle is, the more energy it needs to get moving
 Weight of batteries can be a large fraction of the overall weight
 Batteries do not contribute to load carrying capability
Innovation
• Achieve a three-dimensional interpenetrating
network of anode and cathode materials .
• Alternative structural battery concept based
on fiber-reinforced network for increasing
strength while maintaining the energy storage
capabilities of Li-ion battery system
carbon fibres battery
 Anode: C-fibre
 Counter: Lithium metal foil
 Most common binder is PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride)
