Free-standing carbon nanofibres (CNFs) are prepared by the carbonization of poly-acrylonitrile using a simple electro-spinning technique. The electro-spun fibres are studied as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries in half-cell configurations. The fibres showed an initial discharge capacity of...
