Chalmers University researchers develop carbon fiber structural battery reducing laptop weight, enhancing electric vehicle range, and eliminating heavy metals.

Researchers at Sweden's Chalmers University of Technology have developed a carbon fiber structural battery capable of halving laptop weight, making mobile phones as thin as credit cards, and boosting electric vehicle range by up to 70%. This innovative battery, combining stiffness and energy density, eliminates the need for heavy metals like cobalt, enhancing sustainability. The team plans to commercialize the technology through Sinonus AB, though further engineering is needed for large-scale production.
