Summary The performance of allotrope carbon materials has been explored because of their superior properties in energy system applications. This review provides an understanding of the current work focusing on the applications of selected carbon materials in important energy systems, focus on thermal interface materials (TIMs), and fuel cell applications. This article begins with the introduction of TIMs and fuel cell in general working principle and presents details on carbon materials. The discussion focuses on updates from the latest research work and addresses current challenges and opportunities for research toward TIMs and fuel cell applications. The optimum performance of TIMs was seen when thermal conductivity achieved at a maximum of 3000 W (m K)−1 by using vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and a minimum internal thermal resistance of 0.3 mm2 K W−1. Meanwhile for fuel cell, the platinum/CNTs catalyst applied proton exchange membrane fuel cell achieved high power density of 661 mW cm−2 in the presence of Nafion electrolyte membrane. This review provides insights for scientists about the use of carbon materials, especially in energy system applications.

The synthesis of composite materials based on various carbon structures and polybenzoxazines (PBZs) gives products with noticeable thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties. The role of different carbon materials is emphasized in terms of the main advantages in both structure and properties. On the other hand, the PBZ features are significant considering the high glass transition temperatures, low flammability, high char yields, and good thermal stability. This review article describes the synthesis, structure, and properties of polybenzoxazine composites based on carbon fibers, carbon nanotubes, graphene, graphene oxide, and other carbonaceous materials. Particular attention is given to the interactions possible to occur between the polybenzoxazine matrix and carbon component.

“…Hence, this decreased the tensile strength. The poor dispersion of the nanofillers is the main factor that results in not wetting and/or impregnation of the fibre, which compromises the mechanical strength (Ajayan et al 2006;Tarfaoui et al 2016;Tehrani et al 2013). Morphology analysis was conducted to observe the dispersion of CNTs in the hybrid composites.…”

Recently, polymer nanocomposites have been fabricated using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as reinforcement nanofillers. However, the effect of incorporating CNT/polymer into hybrid composites with natural fibre is not clear. This study investigated the effect of using multi-walled carbon nanotube material (MWCNT) as the nanofiller on the tensile and flexural properties of bamboo/glass fibre hybrid composites. Composites containing various weight fractions of CNTs (0.1 wt.%, 0.3 wt.%, 0.5 wt.%, and 1.0 wt.%) were compared with the control hybrid composites. The hybrid composites were prepared with epoxy resin. The experimental results revealed an increase in the tensile strength of the composites with the addition of up to 0.5 wt.% CNTs (+7.7% over the control hybrid). However, beyond this value, i.e., with 1.0 wt.% CNT additives, the composite strength showed a remarkable decrease (-36.8% compared with the control hybrid). Moreover, introducing CNTs into hybrid composites resulted reduced the flexural properties with increasing weight fractions as low as 8.45% compared with the controls. In sum, the tensile properties increased with the addition of up to 0.5 wt.% CNTs, but there was a decrease in the flexural properties.
