Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is a lightweight and strong material that is being increasingly used in the construction of fuel cells for energy storage. CFRP is used to construct the bipolar plates and other components of the fuel cell stack, providing structural support and protection for the fuel cell membranes and electrodes.
The most prominent advantage of RFBs is their decoupled design of power and energy, i.e., the increase of energy capacity will not sacrifice the power dictated by the cell stack, which is in strong contrast with lithium-ion batteries. 10 In addition, compared to the high costs of organic solvents, low ionic conductivity, and flammability of nonaqueous …
