Developing structural energy storage batteries using multi functional composite materials

Today, there are many natural problems arising from fossil fuels. In order to prevent this, human beings will turn to or tend to alternate sources of energy in time. As a result of this, many fossil fuel transportation vehicles (cars, buses, motorcycles, planes etc.) will be replaced by electric vehicles. However, as is known, electric vehicles also have their own problems. The biggest of these problems is high energy storage and lightness problems in order to spend less energy. In this study, a different perspective has been realized to solve energy storage and lightness problems. The main idea of the study is to store electrical energy as a capacitor into carbon fiber plates. Basically, the capacitor logic with insulating material is used in between the parallel plates. Combinations of different carbon fiber fabrics, insulators and electrical transmittances with different thin film materials have been formed. Electrical storage properties, multifunctionality, elasticity modules, tensile strengths of the resulting composite materials have been tested. In order to produce the samples of the tests, an experiment planning was made with the Taguchi method. A comparison of the energy densities and strength values of the materials with multifunctional properties has been prepared.
