Abstract

Nanofibrous hydrogel microspheres are formed by pH gelation of perylene diimide derivatives in emulsion droplets. These microspheres are freeze-dried and subsequently carbonized to produce discrete N-doped nanofibrous carbon microspheres. The carbon microspheres show high performance as electrode materials for supercapacitors.
