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.
2. Basic Battery Concepts Batteries are made of two electrodes involving different redox couples that are separated by an electronically insulating ion conducting medium, the electrolyte.
Battery components Generally speaking, a battery consists of five major components. An anode, cathode, the current collectors these may sit on, electrolyte and separator, as shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 2. A typical cell format. Charging processes are indicated in green, and discharging processes are indicated in red.
Interestingly, in present times, unless explicitly specified otherwise, the term "battery" universally refers to electrochemical cells used for generating electrical energy, and even a single cell is now referred to as a battery.
6.1.1. Graphite Graphite is perhaps one of the most successful and attractive battery materials found to date. Not only is it a highly abundant material, but it also helps to avoid dendrite formation and the high reactivity of alkali metal anodes.
Currently, most structural battery studies are still in the early stage of concept demonstrations, and other passive components in real systems are rarely involved such as battery management systems and cooling systems.
