Preparation and Characterization of Porous Carbon/Nickle Nanofibers by Electrospinning

Article Preview

Abstract:

By employing the electrospinning technique and subsequent carbonization processes, porous carbon/nickle (C/Ni) composite nanofibers with diameters of 100-200 nm were successfully prepared. Two polymer solutions of polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), and Ni (CH3COOH)2 (Ni (OAc)2) were used as C/Ni composite nanofiber precursors. The study revealed that C/Ni composite nanofibers were successfully prepared and nickle particles with diameters of 20-70 nm were uniformly scattered in the carbon nanofibers. It was also observed that the fiber with clear fibrous morphology with particles broke into shorter fibers after sinter. X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that these particles crystallized with the face centered cubic (FCC) structure. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis indicated that C/Ni composites nanofibers with meso-pores possessed larger specific surface area than that of carbon nanofibers.
