European Researchers Developing Multifunctional Structural Composite Material That Can Double as Energy Storage

Green Car Congress

FEBRUARY 5, 2010

Researchers from Imperial College London and their European partners, including Volvo Car Corporation, are developing a prototype multifunctional structural composite material composed of carbon fibers and a polymer resin which can store and discharge electrical energy and which is also strong and lightweight enough to be used for car parts.

Degradation as a function of (a) capacity (Ah) processed by cell or (b) energy (Wh) at different DoD. To determine the quantity and rate of energy transferred to and from a battery during driving conditions, they used a simple physics model that computed the energy needed to propel a typical vehicle through the trip profile.

Degradation as a function of (a) capacity (Ah) processed by cell or (b) energy (Wh) at different DoD. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon Electricity Industry Center have concluded that a PHEV pack comprising lithium iron phosphate cells would incur little capacity loss from combining vehicle-to-grid (V2G) activities with regular driving.
