Graphene 3D Lab showing prototype 3D printed battery; potential for structural batteries

Green Car Congress

The prototype currently reaches the same voltage as a commercially available AA battery. Researchers in Sweden are exploring the use of carbon fiber as an active electrode in a multifunctional structural Li-ion battery in an electric car; i.e., electrical storage is incorporated into the body of the car.
