“…Electrospinning, followed by subsequent carbonization, is paramount in generating continuous carbon nanofibers (CNFs) of well-defined micro/nanostructures. − By leveraging electrostatic forces within an electric field, this technique facilitates the controlled deposition of polymer solutions or melts, yielding one-dimensional (1D) nonwoven networks of fibers possessing diameters that extend into the submicrometer to nanoscale regime. A diverse array of polymeric precursors, including polyacrylonitrile (PAN), − poly(acrylonitrile- co -vinylimidazole) (P(AN- co -VIM)), polyimide (PI), , poly(azomethine ether) (PAME), polybenzimidazole (PBI), and poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), have been harnessed to fabricate CNF-based electrode materials. , Out of these, PAN exhibits remarkable specific surface areas and solvent resistance, making it a prime substrate choice, yet its limited electrical conductivity hampers its electrochemical utility . This drawback is effectively countered by incorporating conductive materials through doping, and polyaniline (PANI) emerges as a compelling collaborator.…”

nanofibers stand out as a promising candidate for energy storage applications, particularly in the domain of supercapacitors. Their inherent advantages, including a high surface area, enhanced charge transport capabilities, and improved electrochemical performance, make them an intriguing focus of investigation. In this study, we present a thorough exploration of the synthesis, characterization, and application of PbS nanoparticles incorporated within the electrospun matrix of a polyacrylonitrile−polyaniline (PAN−PANI) blend. The subsequent carbonization process at 700 °C yields carbon nanofibers (CNFs) with tailored structural and electrochemical attributes. The resulting carbonized PbS/PAN−PANI nanofibers (NFs) exhibit exceptional electrochemical properties, including high specific capacitance, specific energy, and specific power, making them promising candidates for supercapacitor applications. Notably, the application of these CNFs in a two-electrode symmetrical supercapacitor device yielded a specific capacitance of 145.6 F g −1 , as determined from galvanostatic charge−discharge (GCD) measurements at a current density of 0.5 A g −1 in a 6 M KOH electrolyte. Furthermore, this device demonstrated remarkable capacitive retention, maintaining 92.45% of its initial capacitance after 10 000 charge−discharge cycles at 1 A g −1 . These outcomes not only affirm the robustness of the fabrication and optimization methodologies but also accentuate the potential of PbS/PAN−PANI CNFs as electrodes for high-performance supercapacitor systems, particularly highlighting their outstanding pseudocapacitive behavior and stability in alkaline electrolytes.

For free-standing and self-doped electrode materials of energy storage devices, in this study, we investigate the microstructures and electrochemical properties of aromatic poly(ether amide) (PEA)-derived carbon nanofibers (CNFs), which are manufactured by electrospinning mixed solutions of PEA and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) at three different compositions and carbonization of the as-spun nanofibers at 1000 °C. The scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and elemental analyses reveal that PEA-derived CNFs have a unique interfused network structure with nitrogen self-doped and quasi-ordered graphitic features. Accordingly, a high apparent electrical conductivity of 3.72−7.79 S/cm is attained for the CNFs. The cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge−discharge measurements confirm that PEA-derived CNFs have excellent electrochemical properties in terms of a specific capacitance of ∼249.0 F/g at 1.0 A/g, power density of 10,000−1,000 W/kg, energy density of 30.1−69.1 Wh/kg, capacitance retention of ∼79%, and Coulombic efficiency of ∼92% after 3000 cycle tests. These results indicate that PEA-derived CNFs can be used as highly stable, self-supporting, and doping-free electrode materials for high-performance energy storage devices.

The microstructure, electrical and electrochemical properties of MXene/aromatic poly(ether amide) (PEA)‐derived hybrid carbon nanofibers (HCNFs) as high‐performance free‐standing supercapacitor electrode materials are reported. For this purpose, a series of HCNFs are fabricated by sequential methods of electrospinning of PEA solutions, dip‐coating (1–10 cycles) of as‐spun PEA nanofibers into MXene aqueous dispersion, and heat‐treatment of MXene‐coated PEA nanofibers for carbonization. The structural analyses of HCNFs reveal that MXene nanosheets are uniformly deposited on PEA‐derived and nitrogen self‐doped CNFs and that they are accumulated with increasing the number of dip‐coating cycles. Accordingly, the electrical conductivity increases from 3.94 S cm−1 for PEA‐derived neat CNF to 15.74 S cm−1 for HCNF10 (10 dip‐coating cycles) due to the increase in the content of electrically conductive MXene nanosheets. On the other hand, the electrochemical performance is measured to be the highest in HCNF7 (7 dip‐coating cycles) owing to a trade‐off effect of ion barrier function and high electrical conductivity of MXene nanosheets to porous CNF webs. For a symmetric supercapacitor setup of two self‐standing HCNF7 electrodes, outstanding electrochemical properties of specific capacitance of 66.7–179.3 F g−1, power density of 1000–10 000 W kg−1, and energy density of 52.7–91.2 Wh kg−1 are attained at current densities of 1–10 A g−1.
