Abstract
In this work, the structural battery composite (SBC) full-cells based on carbon fiber (CFs) were fabricated using a three-step hot pressing method. LiFePO4 (LFP) was loaded onto CF fabrics considering the influences of hot pressing parameters including the pressure and the temperature. The SBC full-cells were subsequently fabricated using the LFP loaded CF cathode, the CF anode, the glass fiber (GF) separator via a structural electrolyte (SE) filming process, followed by the second hot pressing. The multifunctional efficiencies were assessed for SBCs with SE containing different components. To reduce the capacity loss, the SBC was eventually encapsulated with the GF/Vinyl Ester prepreg and thermally cured in the third hot pressing. The capacity retention of the SBC was significantly improved after encapsulation. This work could be seen as a further step forward the engineering fabrication of the SBC full-cells based on both CF anodes and cathodes.
