Abstract
AbstractHollow carbon fibers (HCF) with ultra‐large diameter have been synthesized and the versatility to convert them into the corresponding carbon‐based composites has been demonstrated. The hollow carbon fibers were fabricated by thermal controlled carbonization of electrospun polyacrylonitrile fibers. For the existence of inorganic silica shell during pyrolysis, heat release will be blocked at the boundary, driving the polyacrylonitrile precursor fiber to form hollow structure. The diameter of the as‐prepared hollow carbon fibers can exceed 150 nm. Sol‐gel‐derived Fe3O4 nanoparticles can grow on the outer‐surface and the inner‐surface of hollow carbon fibers. The microwave absorption performance of ternary HCF@Fe3O4@PPy composite is testified and the values of reflection loss exceeding −10 dB can be obtained in the frequency of 3.3‐11.3 GHz. The large diameter of hollow carbon fibers can have inner and outer interfaces in the corresponding composites, which make them great potential for a variety of applications in future.
