These structural batteries, functioning as rechargeable batteries, adhere to the same electrochemical behavior seen in commonly used lithium-ion batteries. Their energy storage relies on the reversible oxidation–reduction reactions of lithium and the lithium-ion couple (Li/Li +) to store energy.
This type of batteries is commonly referred to as “structural batteries”. Two general methods have been explored to develop structural batteries: (1) integrating batteries with light and strong external reinforcements, and (2) introducing multifunctional materials as battery components to make energy storage devices themselves structurally robust.
Utilizing structural batteries in an electric vehicle offers a significant advantage of enhancing energy storage performance at cell- or system-level. If the structural battery serves as the vehicle's structure, the overall weight of the system decreases, resulting in improved energy storage performance (Figure 1B).
For instance, in EVs, energy storage units and structural components account for approximately 30 % and 40 % of the total system weight, respectively. Furthermore, energy storage units are usually centralized and secured with mechanical fasteners to simplify device design, maintenance, and replacements.
In many fully electrified devices, energy storage units (providing power to the device) and structural components (offering support and protection) are two distinct and largest systems by weight within the overall composition.
Structural energy storage devices function as both a structural component and an energy storage device simultaneously. Therefore, a system (e.g. a vehicle) with such multifunctional devices can have better mass efficiency and longer operating time.
