Upon carbonization, the nanofibers showed inter-bonded morphologies. PVP here functioned to bind nanofibers during carbonization. The inter-boned fibrous morphology was highly affected by the PVP/PAN ratio and the electrospinning method. Carbon nanofibers prepared by the bicomponent electrospinning were found to have larger capacitances compared to those prepared by the conventional electrospinning. The influence of electrospinning method, PAN/PVP ratio on the crystallinity of carbon nanofibers, their surface morphology and capacitor performance were examined. The influence mechanism was elucidated as well.
