Electrospinning carbon nanofibre into an electrocatalyst paves the way to flexible energy storage devices

Scientists from China and Singapore have used electrospinning to make a free-standing catalyst for generating hydrogen and oxygen that could be made on an industrial scale. Using the new method, the researchers were able to create a 180 x 80cm electrocatalyst, which was flexible and stable with good performance.
