Aramid nanofibers (ANFs) have become promising nanoscale building blocks due to their extraordinary performance. However, there are numerous challenges related to the preparation of ANFs, such as the lengthy preparation cycle (7-10 says), low preparation concentration (0.2 wt %), and high difficulty in quantitatively judging the end point of the deprotonation reaction. Herein, we report three time-saving and high-efficiency strategies (fibrillation, ultrasonication, and proton donor assisted deprotonation) to prepare ANFs with excellent performance. The fiber micromorphology during the deprotonation and protonation recovery processes was first investigated. Then the end point of the deprotonation reaction was detected by Raman spectra and the cationic demand of the ANF/DMSO system. Finally, the size, preparation cycle, and performance of the corresponding ANFs and ANF films fabricated by different approaches were investigated in detail. The results showed that proton donor-assisted deprotonation significantly shortened the traditional preparation cycle from 7 days to 4 h, and is the most efficient method reported thus far. It is noteworthy that a high concentration of ANFs (4.0 wt %) could also be achieved within 12 h. Interestingly, the fabricated ANFs exhibit rigid morphology and a small diameter with a narrow size distribution (10.7 +/- 1.0 nm). The resultant ANF film displays desired characteristics of high strength and toughness. The work offers a timesaving, feasible and effective strategy to realize the large-scale production for ANFs, which will facilitate the application of ANFs in the production of advanced nanomaterials.
