This type of batteries is commonly referred to as “structural batteries”. Two general methods have been explored to develop structural batteries: (1) integrating batteries with light and strong external reinforcements, and (2) introducing multifunctional materials as battery components to make energy storage devices themselves structurally robust.
Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries have been considered as one of the most promising energy storage devices that have the potential to deliver energy densities that supersede that of state-of-the-art lithium ion batteries.
Although not intentionally designed for structural batteries, some of them showed potential applications in structural energy storage.
The material development can help enhance the intrinsic mechanical properties of batteries for structural applications but require careful designs so that electrochemical performance is not compromised. In this review, we target to provide a comprehensive summary of recent developments in structural batteries and our perspectives.
