“…A new approach for enhancing the interyarn friction can be realized by utilizing the recent development of ZnO nanowires as a strong whisker interphase in carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites [19][20][21][22][23][24]. In previous experimental and analytical studies, it was shown that the growth of vertically aligned ZnO nanowires on carbon fiber led to improvements of interfacial shear strength as well as enhanced energy dissipation [20][21][22][23][24][25].…”

“…Notably, very strong acids or bases can degrade the fiber quality and result in poor mechanical properties of composites [38]. Oxygen plasma and large-pulse electronbeam techniques have been very successful; they are nondestructive methods that can improve the surface area and adhesion to the separator and matrix [40,41]. Earlier research demonstrated that treatment with potassium hydroxide (KOH) increased the surface area of CFs without compromising the mechanical properties [39].…”

Summary In the last decades, fuel scarcity and increasing pollution level pave the way for an extensive interest in alternatives to petroleum‐based fuels such as biodiesel, solar cells, lithium ion batteries, and supercapacitors. Among them, structural supercapacitors have been considered as promising candidates for automotive industries in present time. Herein, the use of carbon fiber‐based supercapacitors in automotive applications is reviewed. Carbon fiber is an excellent candidate for vehicle body applications, and its composites could be widely used in the development of supercapacitors that could provide both structural and energy storage functions. Different surface modification processes of the carbon fiber electrode to enhance the electrochemical as well as mechanical performances are discussed. The advantages of the glass fiber separator and its comparison with other types of dielectric media have been incorporated. The synthesis procedures of the multifunctional solid polymer electrolyte and its significance have been also elaborated. The fabrication process, component selection, limitations, and future challenges of these supercapacitors are briefly assimilated in this review. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Multifunctional structural supercapacitor based on the structural electrolyte of cement/PVA-KOH composite and the structural electrode of highly electrically graphene was fabricated with sandwich structure. A bicontinuous microstructure composed of PVA and hardened cement paste is formed. Flexible PVA in cement/PVA-KOH composite increases ions’ accessibility with graphene at the interface between the structural electrode and the structural electrolyte. The addition of KOH changes the structure of PVA from crystalline state to amorphous state. So PVA can complex and discomplex with KOH to realize ionic conduction. The effects of PVA’s content, polymerization degree and hydrolysis degree on the electrochemical properties and mechanical properties were analyzed. The composite’s ionic conductivity increases with PVA’s content and hydrolysis degree, and it shows a tendency of decreasing after increasing with PVA’s polymerization degree. Similarly, the specific capacitance of the structural supercapacitor also increases with PVA’s content and hydrolysis degree, but decreases with PVA’s polymerization degree. Compared with the polymerization degree, the hydrolysis degree plays a more prominent part in affecting the specific capacitance of the structural supercapacitors. For mechanical properties of cement/PVA-KOH composite, the compressive strength is mostly improved by PVA at a content of 2%. It decreases with PVA’s polymerization degree and increases with PVA’s hydrolysis degree. The conflict between the power density and energy density in structural energy storage is eased remarkably and the electrical and mechanical properties can be improved simultaneously. The two chief obstacles are tackled in the PVA1799-based structural supercapacitor.
