In this work, we have successfully prepared carbon-nanofibers with stringed in nanobubbles, as so-called bubble carbon-nanofibers (B-CNFs). The B-CNFs were obtained by exploding polyacrilonitrile (PAN) nanofibers with embedded ZnO nanoparticles as bombs during carbonization process at a temperature of 1000 degrees C. Benefiting from the easy electron transport path and high specific surface area, the B-CNFs show a high specific capacitance of 428 F g(-1) at 1 A g(-1) after decorated with MnO2 nanosheets, which is significantly superior to carbon fibers (CNFs)/MnO2 (203 F g(-1)) in the same situation. Moreover, it exhibits an excellent cycling stability with about 98.8% of the initial specific capacitance maintained after 1500 test cycles. This study provides an effective strategy to fabricate porous carbon nanomaterials as well as improve the capacitive performance of carbon-based supercapacitors. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
