Polymer composites have the potential to be used in a variety of energy storage devices, including batteries, supercapacitors, and hybrid systems. These devices can be utilized for various end-uses, such as electric vehicles, grid-scale energy storage, and portable electronics.
Fabrication approaches to structural composite energy storage devices are as follows: (a) vacuum infusion and (b) wet lay-up. Sha et al. selected wet lay-up as the fabrication approach. The processing is very similar to vacuum infusion, both of which complete the curing of resin in vacuum.
Structural composite energy storage devices (SCESDs), that are able to simultaneously provide high mechanical stiffness/strength and enough energy storage capacity, are attractive for many structural and energy requirements of not only electric vehicles but also building materials and beyond.
The resulting material has several unique properties that make it suitable for energy storage applications. One of the primary advantages of conductive polymer composites is their high electrical conductivity, which is critical for efficient charge and discharge cycling in energy storage devices.
