Abstract Carbon nanofibers were prepared by using centrifugal spinning with polyacrylonitrile as precursor. The microstructure and electrochemical properties of prepared samples were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical workstation, respectively. The results showed that the distribution of fiber diameter showed a normal law. The carbon fibers present good cycle stability at low scan rate. Moreover, the integral area of cyclic voltammetry curve reaches the maximum when the mass ratio of PAN/PMMA is 20:3. The specific capacitance of it is 102 F/g and 84 F/g, in case of the current density at 0.1 A/g and 0.2 A/g, respectively.
