Carbon fiber has been extensively used in the photocatalysis, electrocatalysis and energy storage fields as supporting platform and conductive media. However, less attention has been paid with regards to its function in phonon transport and thermal management. We have investigated the effect of current flow direction on the heat management performance of carbon fiber based thin film heaters (CFTFHs) with anisotropic percolation network of carbon fibers (CFs). The anisotropic percolation network of carbon fibers (CFs) formed by roll-to-roll spray coating leads to the anisotropic electrical properties of CFs. As a result, CFs based thin films (CFTFs) have lower sheet resistance when measured parallel to the CFs alignment, compared to when they are aligned perpendicular. Because connectivity and current flow in CFs are critically dependent on the direction alignment of CFs, the saturation temperature (106.4 °C) of CFTFH with parallel aligned carbon fiber is higher than that (117.3 °C) of CFTFH with perpendicular alignment. Therefore, current flow in the same direction as the alignment of CFs is very important to achieve high-performance. Moreover, our study on thermal profile of anisotropic CFTFs under high current flows illustrates that carbon fiber thin films have great potential in thermal management solution for electrocatalytic and electrochemical energy storage applications. |
