Structural energy storage for CF based personal mobility and lightweight delivery

A mobile apparatus, comprising:

• a motion action portion;
• the motion action portion including a frame constructed of carbon fiber composite, wherein a portion of the carbon fiber composite frame is configured as a structural carbon fiber battery, the structural battery including one or more energy storage devices;
• each of the one or more energy storage devices having:
• at least one anode core of a continuous carbon fiber, wherein the continuous carbon fiber is a plurality of carbon filaments bundled together,
• an electrolyte arranged on the at least one continuous carbon fiber core, wherein the electrolyte includes an electrolyte precursor coating solution containing a lithium salt, a polymer or monomer which solvates lithium ion, a gel or elastomer matrix oligomer, a UV sensitive cross-linking agent, and a plasticizer, and
• a cathode layer arranged to the at least one continuous carbon fiber core on the electrolyte, wherein the cathode layer is particles of a cathode active material embedded in a matrix of a conductive polymer;
• and
• at least one interface electrically connected to the structural battery, the interface for inputting power for charging the structural battery and for outputting power.
