A structural composite supercapacitor is a multifunctional material designed to both bear mechanical load and store electrical energy in the same structure. Combined with structural batteries, such materials could allow the weight of electric vehicles and other electrified structures to be reduced, since the part doing the carrying can also do the job of storing charge.
