Among the materials being investigated for energy storage applications, carbon fibre stands out as a particularly promising candidate [6, 7, 8]. Carbon fiber, traditionally utilized in the aerospace, automotive, and sports equipment industries, possesses unique structural characteristics that enable the development of multifunctional materials.
While these carbon materials offer high electrical conductivity and surface area, they lack the mechanical integrity, lightweight construction, corrosion resistance, and scalable manufacturability required for structural energy storage systems [, , ].
These materials can simultaneously serve as both the structural component and the energy storage medium [9, 10, 11]. As a result, conventional heavy batteries can be either replaced by or integrated into carbon fiber-based batteries, allowing them to fulfill both structural and energy storage roles.
Moreover, the study highlights potential research directions, underscoring the importance of continuous innovation to fully realize the potential of carbon fiber-based energy storage technologies.
As illustrated in Supplementary Fig. 14, compared to conventional fabrics, porous fibers, and aerogel fibers, our energy storage fiber possesses both the ability to suppress heat at the molecular level and slow-release heating functionality, offering a distinct advantage in thermal management applications 51.
