Abstract
Carbon nanofibers are rapidly emerging as efficient electrode materials for energy storage. Given this, we established a simple in-situ technique to grow zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF8) particles on electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN)–polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) nanofibers. Our systematic experiments indicate that the PAN/PVP/ZIF8 (PPZ8) nanofibers carbonized at 800–900 °C (C|PPZ8-800/900) are electrochemically capacitive. The C|PPZ8-800/900 samples exhibit the maximum specific capacitance values (∼180.69 F·g−1) and excellent electrochemical stability (∼100 %) in 1.0 M H2SO4. Incorporation of ZIF8 particles induces a mesoporous behaviour in the PPZ8 composite during carbonization and allows the nanofibers to retain their structural stability. The degree of graphitization and traces of metallic-Zn (contributing towards lower charge-transfer resistance) in the tested C|PPZ8 nanofiber composites significantly affects their electrochemical capacitive performance.
