How will structural batteries reshape the way we build, move, and power the world around us? By embedding energy storage directly into materials, structural batteries promise lighter vehicles, self-powered buildings, and even energy-harvesting textiles. This session brings together pioneering engineers to demonstrate how these multifunctional materials could deliver the greatest impact. Participants explore the breakthroughs needed to scale structural batteries from lab prototypes to real-world application.
