Inspired by the nature of plant tissue, carbon nanomaterials such as nanofibers have been synthesized by pyrolysis of plant tissues. However, it is challenging in synthesis of tubular structure by pyrolysis because the structure is dynamical non-steady state and always collapses in carbonization pro...
