New Insight into the Role of Gold Nanoparticles in Au@CdS Core–Shell Nanostructures for Hydrogen Evolution

Abstract

A unique class of multi-channeled porous carbon nanofibers (MCPCNFs) are designed with dual-pathway ion transport capability via a modified electrospinning approach. Combined with other features including high conductivity and numerous functional groups for facilitating the formation of electric double-layer charges, the MCPCNFs exhibit excellent supercapacitive performance, holding great potential for high-performance supercapacitor electrode materials.
