Hierarchical activated carbon nanofiber webs with tuned structure fabricated by electrospinning for capacitive deionization

Abstract

Novel hierarchical activated carbon nanofiber (ACF) webs with tuned structure have been fabricated by incorporating carbon black (CB) into an electrospun polymer solution, followed by heat treatment. The as-made electrospun ACF webs show superior capacities as electrode materials in capacitive deionization (CDI) for desalination due to their advantageous hierarchical structures.
