What is a load bearing/energy storage integrated device (Leid)?

Nature Communications 14, Article number: 64 (2023) Cite this article Load bearing/energy storage integrated devices (LEIDs) allow using structural parts to store energy, and thus become a promising solution to boost the overall energy density of mobile energy storage systems, such as electric cars and drones.

How to integrate a thermal energy storage active system?

Fig. 1 presents different ways to integrate the thermal energy storage active system; in the core of the building (ceiling, floor, walls), in external solar facades, as a suspended ceiling, in the ventilation system, or for thermal management of building integrated photovoltaic systems.

Can thermal energy storage be used in building integrated thermal systems?

Thermal energy storage in building integrated thermal systems: A review. Part 1. active storage systems - ScienceDirect Thermal energy storage in building integrated thermal systems: A review. Part 1. active storage systems TES implementation in buildings should be as helpful as possible for architects and engineers.

What is the difference between energy storage and load-bearing components?

In conventional power supply mode, the energy storage and load-bearing components are independent. The power storage component can store energy but cannot withstand large external forces, while the load-bearing components, such as the shell, can only play the role of protection and support and cannot provide energy storage 4, 5, 6.

What is thermal energy storage?

Thermal energy storage (TES) is considered a promising principle that enhances the efficiency of renewable energies through the reduction of the supply and production gap. There are many studies in the literature where TES has been applied on building envelopes as passive system, in the HVAC systems or in solar thermal systems ( Table 4 ).

Is a polymeric solid electrolyte a load-bearing energy-storage device?

Now writing in Nature Communications, Xiaolan Hu, Hua Bai and colleagues at Xiamen University report an integrated load-bearing energy-storage device based on a high-strength polymeric solid electrolyte (Fig. 1c), striking a great balance in achieving both high mechanical strength and high storage capability 2.
