Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the use of carbon fiber paper as the heating layer has the following disadvantages: First, the thickness of carbon fiber paper is relatively large, generally tens of microns, which makes it difficult for the linear heat source to be made into a microstructure, and cannot be applied to the heating of micro devices.

Second, because the carbon fiber paper contains the paper substrate, the carbon fiber paper has a high density and a large weight, which makes it inconvenient to use the linear heat source of the carbon fiber paper

Third, due to the random distribution of pitch-based carbon fibers in the carbon fiber paper, the carbon fiber paper has low strength, poor flexibility, and is easy to break, which limits its scope.

Fourth, the electrothermal conversion efficiency of carbon fiber paper is low, which is not conducive to energy saving and environmental protection
