Preparation and Testing of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composites Embedded with Lithium-Ion Polymer Batteries

Abstract:

Vehicle lightweight promises to drive down the maintenance quality and increase energy efficiency in transportation with the safe and strength performance. The use of fiber reinforced polymer composite materials structural battery vehicles is recognized as an essential enabling technology for achieving high bearing capacity and energy storage capacity. At the same time it improves the energy storage capacity, the overall structural energy storage and space utilization of new energy vehicles. In this study we bring an idea to fabricate composites with integrated lithium-ion pouch batteries. The whole preparation process was carried out at room temperature to prevent thermal damage on battery. Experimental results indicate that the cyclic working voltage and capacity of CFRP structure battery are basically consistent with the monomer lithium-ion polymer battery which obtained from Xinwei battery testing equipment. Therefore, the fabrication process does not damage the lithium-ion polymer battery.
