Factors Affecting the Growth of the Carbon Felt and Graphite Felt Industry:    

1. Increasing Demand in Aerospace and Defense:

Carbon and graphite felt exhibit exceptional thermal stability and can withstand extreme temperatures, making them ideal materials for aerospace and defense applications where components are exposed to intense heat during operations, such as engine combustion and re-entry into the atmosphere of the Earth. Moreover, thermal management is crucial in aerospace and defense systems to prevent overheating and maintain optimal operating conditions. Carbon and graphite felt serve as effective thermal insulators, helping to regulate temperatures within sensitive components and protect them from thermal stress and damage.

1. Growing Need in Energy Storage and Conversion:

Carbon and graphite felts are essential components in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) and other types of fuel cells. These felts serve as gas diffusion layers (GDLs), facilitating the flow of reactant gases to the catalyst layers while providing electrical conductivity. With the increasing interest in fuel cell technology for clean energy generation in transportation, stationary power generation, and portable devices, the demand for carbon and graphite felts is rising. Furthermore, carbon and graphite felt are used in various types of batteries, including lithium-ion batteries, flow batteries, and redox flow batteries. In lithium-ion batteries, carbon felts can be employed as current collectors or electrode materials, contributing to improved energy storage capacity, cycling stability, and safety.
