Abstract
Low mechanical capability currently limits the applicability of lithium-ion batteries for use in the structural components of electric vehicles and aircraft. This paper introduces a new Multifunctional Energy Storage Composites (MESC) concept to achieve a good balance between high energy density and mechanical strength with minimal compromise. The proposed MESC involves reinforcing lithium-ion battery cells using embedded rivets and integrates the cells into a CFRP composite structure. This research employs a combination of experimental and computational tools to conduct a comprehensive parametric study aimed at maximizing the mechanical and electrical performance of MESC. Multiple MESC samples underwent three-point bending tests and a multi-physics simulation model was developed using Abaqus to validate their manufacturing limits. The results demonstrate that the MESC significantly enhances the load transfer capabilities of CFRP composite sandwich structures with a battery core. This advancement holds promise for the development of electric vehicle body structures with improved performance.
