报告内容摘要

Electrospun carbon nanofibers are generally prepared through heat treatments (e.g., stabilization, carbonization, and chlorination) of their precursors including, but not limited to, electrospun nanofibers of polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl alcohol, lignin, and TiC.  Unlike carbon nanotubes/nanofibers that are produced by bottom-up synthetic methods, electrospun carbon nanofibers are produced through a top-down manufacturing process; this results in low-cost, and more importantly, continuous nanofibers that are easy to align, assemble, and process into applications.  In this talk, our recent studies on two types of electrospun carbon nanofibers (with either superior mechanical strength or high specific surface area) and their various applications will be presented.
