- Additional information
- Funded by EC-HO2020 (Project:765057), this output describes an experimental/simulation approach to design an inherently functional cementitious composite that can deliver and store electrical energy, and sense structural damage. This is the first construction material of its kind that can turn structures into full-scale self-sensing batteries without using additives. The work was featured in several news outlets such as the Times and BBC. The output was further developed to maximise the energy storage capacity for industrial exploitation in partnership with Manchester Electric City Innovation Park, (John Hindley, info@twelvetreesconsulting.co.uk), where a prototype battery will be built to store and supply renewable energy.
