Research progress of electrospining PAN-based carbon nanofibers as supercapacitors electrode materials
Polyacrylonitrile(PAN)based carbon nanofibers(CNFs)have attracted the attention of researchers as supercapacitors e-lectrode materials,which have the advantages of low cost,ideal spinnability,high carbon yield,excellent stability,and predictable me-chanical strength.In this review,the recent progress in PAN-based CNFs electrode materials for supercapacitors is presented,covering the architecture design and their electrochemical performance.Based on the brief introduction of electrospinning technique,the basic principles of preparing PAN-based CNFs by electrospinning technique are discussed.The preparation methods of PAN-based carbon nanofiber electrode materials and the recent progress of composite carbon based materials,conductive polymers and metal organic framework(MOFs)are discussed.The future research direction of PAN-based CNFs electrode materials for supercapacitors is also proposed.
