Powering the Future: Decarbonising Transport with Structural Battery Innovation
The Structural Battery Company exists to create a cleaner, greener world by addressing the challenges of heavy, inefficient, and unsustainable energy solutions in transport. Our mission is to transform energy storage and help build a sustainable future for generations to come.
Here’s how different innovators approach structural battery technology:
Structural batteries represent a transformative leap in energy storage, and The SB Co. is at the forefront of this revolution.
Battery Chemistry in Composite Materials
NASA integrated battery chemistry directly into the composite layup of CubeSats, making the battery part of the satellite’s structure. This approach saves weight and maximises efficiency in small spacecraft.
Structural Electrical Module Boxes
Williams Advanced Engineering created structural module boxes laid like bricks, combining robustness with modular flexibility.
Encased Cylindrical Cells
Tesla developed structural foam to encase cylindrical cells, providing additional strength and energy density while streamlining manufacturing.
Energy-Storing Carbon Fibre Composites
Chalmers University, through its spinout Sinonus, has developed carbon fibre composites that double as battery electrodes. This technology allows the carbon fibre to serve as both a structural material and an energy storage medium, paving the way for lightweight, multifunctional components.
Sandwich Panel
The SB Co. pioneers a novel approach, creating a core material by bonding cylindrical cells. This unique method delivers unparalleled strength, repairability, and sustainability.
“What Does The Structural Battery Company Offer?”
While others integrate batteries into structures, The SB Co. advances the field with repairable, reusable, and sustainable designs tailored to real-world challenges.
