Many vehicles use carbon fiber to make the vehicle more powerful and lighter, according to the news agency "Political Delegations Group," quoted by Mehr. But research has shown that these panels also have the power to save energy.
Scientists have found that a very powerful material can directly store energy and possibly transform the design of future electric vehicles. If this technology is commercially available, manufacturers can get rid of heavy-duty batteries in the car, and as a result, the weight of future vehicles will be halved.
Mr. Lif Asp, a lecturer in computing and materials mechanics at Chalmers University of Technology, says the car body acts as a battery. Carbon fiber can be used for purposes such as kinetic energy harvesting for the use of sensors or the conductivity of information energy. In this situation, the body weight of the car is reduced by 50%.
For this, researchers have investigated the ability to store electricity in various carbon fiber structures. They found that the samples that have crystalline crystals have good electromechanical capabilities and can work as electrodes in a lithium ion battery, but they are not so powerful.
According to Mr. Asp, carbon dioxide drying is not a big problem because its electrical capabilities are still higher than steel. Reducing the carbon fiber hardness is not so problematic for many uses like cars. Meanwhile, there is now a precious carbon fiber composite market built for use on the aircraft. Therefore, carbon fiber manufacturers can increase the efficiency of this material
