Room‐temperature electrosynthesis of carbonaceous fibers

Abstract

Carbonaceous fibers are produced by the room‐temperature electrochemical reduction of CCl 4 . These fibers (see Figure) are structurally and morphologically similar to carbon fibers produced at high temperatures, and are formed sponaneously at an electrode without the need for a template, during cathodic decomposition of CCl 4 in non‐aqueous electrolytes. magnified image
