Graphene-enhanced structural battery composites for future energy storage
Research Project, 2023
– 2025
We aim to realize all-fibre based structural battery composites for massless energy storage in electrical systems, such as electric cars, aircraft and devices. This will be facilitated by the development and manufacture of a cathode coated carbon fibre electrode, using green chemistry and a graphene scaffold. We expect a structural battery with high multifunctional properties to emerge, which is stiffer than aluminium and has an ability to store electrical energy approaching that of a conventional lithium ion battery.
