Team at Naval Research Laboratory suggests design direction for structural batteries

Green Car Congress

The researchers’ analysis also suggests that further found that ext-generation structural batteries should look to energy-dense aluminum-air and zinc-air batteries. By storing energy and bearing mechanical loads, structural batteries reduce the amount of conventional structural materials required by devices.
