Abstract

In the paper, the membrane with aligned carbon nanofibers (CNFs) was prepared by electrospinning, stabilization and carbonization. The electrical conductivity of the membrane was examined. The effect of stabilization temperature and drum rotating speed on the conductivity of aligned CNFs membrane was discussed. The study on stabilization temperature showed that 250 °C was optimum parameter for preparing fibrous aligned CNFs membrane with uniform diameter, but 270 °C was benefit to fiber conglutination which could improve the electrical conductivity of the final CNFs membrane. The study on drum rotating speed showed that when drum rotating speed reached 2500 rpm, graphitic structures with parallel graphene sheets could be observed and 1000, 1500 and 2000 rpm CNFs membranes presented desirable conductivity with only 1.3 Ω·cm in the parallel directions and 2.0 Ω·cm in the perpendicular direction.
