Can Conrete Store Energy?

Scientists in Sweden conducted battery research that focused on making batteries store energy and double as structural components for buildings. The team demonstrated a novel cement-based battery that could see large structures built from functional concrete.

The research was executed at the Chalmers University of Technology, where scientists were developing more sustainable building materials, focusing on concrete, the world’s most widely-used, energy-intensive material.

Concrete Is Not Just Concrete

Imagine an entire twenty-story concrete building that can store energy like a giant battery. Thanks to unique research from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, such a vision could someday be a reality. Researchers from the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering recently published an article outlining a new concept for rechargeable batteries — made of cement.
