Sinonus AB

At Sinonus we have added the dimension of energy storage to carbon-fiber. We have created a multipurpose light weight material that can carry load, and store electrical energy, all in one. By utilizing structural mass of an application for energy storage, we can reduce weight, improve energy efficiency, and increase system performance.

The current norm is to build mechanical structures of single purpose materials such as carbon fiber, aluminum, steel etc. In the same manner a battery is considered a separately unit with "no other" function than energy storage. From a silo perspective, the battery and the structural material performs well at their jobs, but from an efficacy standpoint, the single usage comes at a cost of system volume, weight and overall performance.

To enable increased system efficiency, Sinonus has developed a carbon fiber based composite that can provide structural strength and store energy, all in one. By doing so we can utilize the mass that is "already there" to store energy, creating an opportunity to reduce weight, volume and improve overall system performance.

We achieve this by utilizing the structural strengths of carbon fibers, while at the same time letting the them serve as electrodes in a battery cell. This in combination with a specially developed electrolyte, makes it possible to build lightweight and structurally strong constructions with an integrated electrical storage capacity.
