Carbon nanofiber electrodes for supercapacitors derived from new precursor polymer: Poly(acrylonitrile-co-vinylimidazole)

Influence of spacer group on the structure and thermal properties of copolymers based on acrylonitrile and methacrylic 1,3-thiazole and 1,2,3-triazole derivatives

“…By doping polyacrylonitrile prior to carbonization the physicochemical nature of the polymer under thermal treatment can also be altered [2]. Moreover, the increasing interest in electrospinning process [3] has made of PAN one of polymers more extensively used, especially in the field of carbon nanofibers [4][5][6] but also in the antimicrobial polymers [1,[7][8][9][10][11]. Biaxially oriented PAN films have been described also as good barriers to oxygen since their transmission is much better than that of any other commonly used transparent film, while are also a good moisture barriers [12].…”

CMOS compatible on-chip decoupling capacitor based on vertically aligned carbon nanofibers

“…The electrospinning and thermal CVD methods involve processing temperature of 750-800°C and the grown nanostructures have in-efficient connection with substrate and are therefore not integratable to CMOS technology as well as not suitable for on-chip decoupling capacitor [10][11][12].…”

Preparation of Porous Carbon Nanofiber Electrodes Derived from 6FDA-Durene/PVDF Blends and Their Electrochemical Properties

“…Their copolymers and polymer blends have been also studied as precursors in order to improve the electrochemical properties of the resultant CNFs. For copolymer precursors, vinyl imidazole, itaconic acid, and acrylic acid have been reported as comonomers of PAN, and CNFs derived from these copolymers show higher electrochemical performance compared to those from PAN only [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]. It is also known that using polymer blends as carbon precursors is effective in producing porous CNFs with excellent energy storage performance.…”
