Battery energy-storage systems typically include batteries, battery-management systems, power-conversion systems and energy-management systems 21 (Fig. 2b).
Utilizing structural batteries in an electric vehicle offers a significant advantage of enhancing energy storage performance at cell- or system-level. If the structural battery serves as the vehicle's structure, the overall weight of the system decreases, resulting in improved energy storage performance (Figure 1B).
These structural batteries, functioning as rechargeable batteries, adhere to the same electrochemical behavior seen in commonly used lithium-ion batteries. Their energy storage relies on the reversible oxidation–reduction reactions of lithium and the lithium-ion couple (Li/Li +) to store energy.
Structural batteries combine energy storage and mechanical load-bearing functions, enabling the reduction in weight and size of the power system, which improves the systemic energy efficiency and reduces waste materials and carbon emissions.
