That’s the concept behind EMBATT (chassis embedded battery), which functions as structural energy storage. It can cut the volume occupied by a battery in half, with serendipitous outcomes for lightness and structural efficiency. This is similar to NASA-backed research on cubesat walls that also function as energy storage structures.
5. Conclusions In this paper, we introduced multifunctional energy storage composites (MESCs), a novel form of structurally-integrated batteries fabricated in a unique material vertical integration process.
Multifunctional energy storage composites (MESC) embed battery layers in structures. Interlocking rivets anchor battery layers which contribute to mechanical performance. Experimental testing of MESC shows comparable electrochemical behavior to baseline. At 60% packing efficiency, MESC gain 15× mechanical rigidity compared to pouch cells.
Traditional unifunctional components can be replaced with similarly-sized energy-storage structures, resulting in significant weight and volume savings, enhanced packing factors, and reduced complexity.
The rivets' ability to suppress both cyclic strain and deformation due to mechanical fatigue confirm the feasibility of practical implementation of the MESC structural battery as an energy-storing structural component.
High-energy cells require additional enclosures and support systems, which reduce the system-level energy density. System-level opportunities arise through multifunctional design of structurally-integrated batteries that can simultaneously serve as vehicle structural members and energy storage units (‡ [7, 8].).
