Mastermind Moments - Making Electric Vehicle Bodies Store Energy
2024-07-26 14:00 - 15:30 | Seminar Hall, Dr. Alexander Mar Thoma Memorial Golden Jubilee Block, Mar Thoma College, Tiruvalla, Kerala, 689103, India
Announcing a new initiative from The Department of Chemistry, Mar Thoma College, Tiruvalla, – ‘Mastermind Moments’. It offers a platform for UG, PG, and research students to interact with eminent scholars in various disciplines all over the world. The first edition of the program will be held on July 26, 2024.
The speaker
Dr. Jayan Thomas, Professor, NanoScience Technology Center, College of Engineering and Computer Science Jt.Apt: CREOL, College of Optics and Photonics, University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida, USA.
Abstract:
As the need for clean energy grows, energy storage devices like supercapacitors and batteries are becoming very important. Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming more popular but still have issues like limited charge capacity and long charging times. This presentation introduces our solution: a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (e-CFRP) composite that stores electrical energy and also acts as a strong structural part for EV body panels. We created the high-strength multilayer e-CFRP composite in our lab using alternating layers of epoxy and gel electrolyte. This resulted in a single-layer e-CFRP with an areal energy density of over 0.31 mWh/cm² at 0.3 mm thickness, a tensile strength of 518 MPa, and a bending strength of 477 MPa. We showed its potential by using the e-CFRP panel to power a toy car, demonstrating its use for making EV body shells. Additionally, when combined with a solar panel, the e-CFRP stored solar energy and later powered an IoT device. This is especially promising for communication satellites, as the e-CFRP composite can reduce the mass of small spacecraft by removing the need for separate batteries and allowing more design flexibility.
