Energized Composites for Electric Vehicles: A Dual Function Energy‐Storing Supercapacitor‐Based Carbon Fiber Composite for the Body Panels (Small 9/2022)

Abstract

Energized Composites Energized composites are dual‐function structural components that can store electrical energy and be used to build lightweight body shells of electric vehicles (EVs). They can also be used to make structural components of commercial jets and space vehicles. In article number 2107053, Jayan Thomas and co‐workers address the current challenges by developing a dual‐function supercapacitor‐based energy‐storing carbon fiber reinforced polymer that can store electrical energy and function as the structural component for the EVs' body shell.
