Perspectives on emerging dual carbon fiber batteries: advantages, challenges and prospects

This perspective article describes a new dual carbon fiber battery, where both the cathode and anode are made of carbon fiber. The dual carbon fiber battery combines the advantages of carbon fiber and dual graphite batteries, including a higher working potential compared to lithium-ion batteries, a high areal capacity, and easy access due to the mature manufacturing technology of carbon fibers. In this article, we discuss the mechanism, current status and potential application areas of dual carbon fiber batteries. Additionally, we highlight the challenges and prospects of these batteries.
