摘要

For the first time, a hollow carbon fiber (HCF) was prepared via a template method. A polypropylene hollow fiber, which is commercial available and affordable, was used as a template. The resultant HCF was characterized by elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and nitrogen sorption measurements. The as-synthesized carbon material exhibits similar structure to its template: hollow core and highly porous carbon frameworks. Compared with the traditional pyrolytic technology, the proposed approach is more economical, which facilitates massive production of this type of materials.
