Low-Temperature Structural Battery Electrolytes for Cold-Climate Transport
Research Project, 2026
– 2031
Structural batteries are multifunctional materials that integrate energy storage into load-bearing carbon-fibre composites. This project focuses on developing structural battery electrolytes that maintain both ionic conductivity and mechanical stiffness at sub-zero temperatures relevant to Nordic transport. The research combines polymer chemistry, electrochemistry, microscopy, and composite mechanics to design new electrolyte systems and evaluate their performance in structural battery composites.
