Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a new polymer-curing process that could reduce the cost, time and energy needed, compared with the current manufacturing process. The resulting polymer and composite parts possess similar mechanical properties to those cured conventionally. —Robertson et al. Lloyd, Leon M.

The streamlined Eos Z3 battery module design features an aqueous electrolyte, bipolar electrodes, and a polymer casing. Conductive plastic anodes (-) and carbon-felt cathodes (+) make up the Z3 electrodes. They’re mechanically tough, corrosion-resistant, and chemically stable, delivering for years with virtually no degradation.

It contains carbon fiber that serves simultaneously as an electrode, conductor, and load-bearing material. The structural battery uses carbon fiber as a negative electrode, and a lithium iron phosphate-coated aluminum foil as the positive electrode. The carbon fiber acts as a host for the lithium and thus stores the energy.
