Mesoporous carbon nanofibres (CNFs) were prepared from furfuryl alcohol (FA) precursor coupled with the SBA-15 template by vapor deposition polymerization strategy. The as-synthesized CNFs possessed numerous disordered mesopores with the size of ca. 4nm. Electrochemical data demonstrated that a specific capacitance (SC) of 222Fg−1 could be delivered by the unique mesoporous CNFs at 0.5Ag−1, and even 180Fg−1 at 6Ag−1. A SC degradation of ca. 2% after 1000 continuous charge–discharge cycles at 6Ag−1 indicated that the mesoporous CNFs can be considered a good candidate for long-term supercapacitors application.
