Abstract

Novel hierarchical activated carbon nanofiber (ACF) webs with tuned structure have been fabricated by incorporating carbon black (CB) into an electrospun polymer solution, followed by heat treatment. The as-made electrospun ACF webs show superior capacities as electrode materials in capacitive deionization (CDI) for desalination due to their advantageous hierarchical structures.
