AB - Transition metal/porous carbon composite is good electrode candidate since porous carbon provides high surface porosity which promotes the access of electrolyte ions, and transition metal enables redox reactions to improve specific capacitance and energy density. In this study, iron/carbon nanofiber (CNF) composite electrodes were prepared by grafting ferrocenecarboxaldehyde to the CNFs which were fabricated by electrospinning and thermal treatment of polyacrylonitrile (PAN). The presence of iron on the CNF surface was confirmed by SEM/EDS, ICP-MS and XPS. Electrochemical performance was evaluated using a three-electrode cell with 1 M Na2SO4 as an electrolyte. Iron-grafted CNFs exhibited a high specific capacitance of 358 F g−1 and an energy density of 49.7 Wh kg−1 at 0.5 A g−1, which is significantly higher than those for untreated CNFs (68 F g−1 and 9.4 Wh kg−1). This demonstrates that this iron/CNF composite is promising candidate for supercapacitor electrode with outstanding energy storage performance.
