Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology, in collaboration with KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, have produced a structural battery that performs ten times better than all previous versions. It contains carbon fiber that serves simultaneously as an electrode, conductor, and load-bearing material.

Woven carbon fiber can act as an electrode for lithium ion batteries. 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. In this €3.4-million million (US$4.7-million)

Then, using an electrospinning process, they fabricated microscopic fibers from the polymer and carbonized the plastic threads in a furnace. Although they don’t store as much energy as lithium-ion batteries, these supercapacitors can charge much faster—a good option for many applications.

Top: The stress of repeated swelling and shrinking shatters a conventional silicon electrode and its polymer binding. Bottom: An electrode coated with stretchy, self-healing polymer remains intact. (C. We want to incorporate this feature into lithium-ion batteries so they will have a long lifetime as well. Wang et al.,

At left, a traditional approach combines Si (blue spheres) with a polymer binder (light brown) plus carbon (dark brown spheres). Repeated swelling and shrinking eventually breaks contacts among the conducting carbon particles. Composite anodes based on this polymer and commercial Si particles exhibit 2,100 mAh g ?1
