Advanced energy storage systems in construction materials: A
CSSCs demonstrate high cycle stability and promising electrochemical properties, whereas cement-based batteries require further advancements in cycling performance and energy
The integration of cement-based energy storage systems into large-scale construction represents a transformative approach to sustainable infrastructure. These systems aim to combine mechanical load-bearing capacity with electrochemical energy storage, offering a promising solution for developing energy-efficient buildings and smart infrastructure.
The majority of cement based energy storage systems remain only partially integrated; some utilize solid cement based electrolytes combined with conventional or hybrid electrodes, while others use carbon cement electrodes with liquid electrolytes.
Cementitious-based energy storage systems offer a promising alternative to conventional supercapacitors, but their practical implementation faces significant challenges. Durability and electrochemical stability are key concerns due to hydration reactions, carbonation, and environmental exposure.
Finally, the economic viability of cement-based energy storage is essential for widespread adoption. The cost of materials, manufacturing, installation, and maintenance must be competitive with existing energy storage solutions.
