Abstract
In the present work, carbon nanofibers were prepared by pyrolysis of freeze-dried cellulose nanofiber and the effect of pyrolysis conditions on the properties of carbon nanofiber was studied. SEM analysis revealed that slow heating rates below 400oC are critical to maintain the fibrous morphology after carbonization. The present study demonstrated the possibility of producing carbon nanofibers of ≤ 30 nm in diameter by a simple and scalable method.
