Abstract

We propose a new chemical route for forming ultramicropores in carbon nanofibers by using a pore former, camphor, in electrospun polyacrilnitrile nanofibers. The resulting carbon nanofibers form mostly ultramicropores. Total specific surface area was 886 m2 gāˆ’1, which is similar to the activated carbon nanofibers in CO2 and steam activation.
