Multifunctional materials offer a possibility to create lighter and more resource‐efficient products thereby improve energy efficiency. Structural battery composites are one type of such multifunctional material with potential massless storage for electric vehicles aircraft. Although have been demonstrated, their performance level consistency must be improved. Also, the cell dimensions need increased. Herein, robust manufacturing procedure is developed structural composite cells repeatedly...
Most products today have several functions, but these are achieved by integrating different monofunctional devices and/or materials in a system. Having functions simultaneously one single material has many potential advantages, such as structural that can also store energy, self-sensing or self-healing capability any other physical function. This would lead mass and resource savings, being more energy efficient thus sustainable. paper presents mini review on how carbon fibres be used for...
Abstract Structural batteries refer to the multifunctional device capable of both storing electrical energy and bearing mechanical loads concurrently.

Multifunctional composites which can fulfil more than one role within a system have attracted considerable interest. This work focusses on structural supercapacitors simultaneously carry mechanical load whilst storing/delivering electrical energy. Critical properties (in-plane shear and in-plane compression performance) of two monofunctional four multifunctional materials were characterised, gave an insight into the relationships between these properties, microstructures fracture processes....
