Nicknamed “fuzzy fiber” by its inventor at UDRI, Nano Adaptive Hybrid Fabric (NAHF-XTM) is the first tailored nanomaterial capable of being produced in sizes and quantities large enough to make them affordable and viable for large-scale commercial use. But in doing so, electrical and thermal conductivity inherent to metals is lost.

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have demonstrated a production method they estimate will reduce the cost of carbon fiber as much as 50% and the energy used in its production by more than 60%. Details of the cost analysis will be shared with the prospective licensees.

The core of each of these individual cells is a polymer membrane, with a platinum-based catalyst on both sides of the membrane. An outer skin made from carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) encases the inner aluminum shell. A photovoltaic array was installed at the site for this purpose. The Fuel Cell Stack.

Their outer skin is made from aluminum-coated polymer and this in turn brings weight advantages. Alternatively they can serve as buffers for renewables such as wind and solar power—whether as part of the grid or as home installations. Because the exhaust system transports only water, it can be made of lightweight polymer.
