The increasing demand for cleaner fuels and the recent stringent regulations of commercial fuel specifications have driven the research of alternative methods to upgrade the current industrial desulfurization technology. Adsorptive desulfurization, the removal of refractory sulfur compounds using appropriate selective tailor-made adsorbents, has shown up as a promising alternative in the recent years. Carbon nanomaterials, namely, graphene, graphene oxide, carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers, show a significant potential as desulfurization adsorbents. Their surface area and porosity, their ability of easy functionalization, and their suitability to serve as a support of different types of adsorbents have rendered them attractive candidates for this purpose. In this review, after a presentation of the current industrial desulfurization practice and its limitations, the structure and properties of the carbon nanomaterials of interest will be described, followed by a detailed account of their applications in adsorptive desulfurization. The major literature findings and conclusions will be presented and discussed as a road map for future research in the field.

“…Electrospinning polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based carbon nanofiber networks (CNFs) with three-dimensional (3D) fibrous network structures have attracted increasing attention due to their high carbon yield, high nitrogen content and large number times bending but folding is difficult and folding times are less. [25,26] In general, porous design is an effective way to improve flexibility. [18,19,27] Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is an effective micropore-forming agent in the preparation of carbon fibre composite with PAN, which is expected to achieve superflexibility through porous designation, including pore size and porosity.…”

The rapid development of wearable electronics requests a higher energy-storage-device flexibility. Nevertheless, the fabrication of high-performance electrodes for achieving the goal of super-flexibility remains challenging. In this work, novel super-flexible PAN/PVP carbon nanofiber networks (PAN/PVP CNFs, PCF) are prepared by electrospinning followed by in situ carbonisation, whose micro-mesoporous structure could disperse stress during folding and super-flexible PCF/NCONS selfsupporting electrodes are fabricated through the electrodeposition of NiCo 2 O 4 nanosheets (NCONS) with three-dimensional membrane structure on the PCF firmly. The obtained PCF/ NCONS cannot only achieve 8000 times folding, but also show high electrochemical performance for both supercapacitors and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). For supercapacitor, the specific capacitance of the PCF/NCONS reaches 1403.5 F/g at 1 A/g and it could maintain at 95.7 % after 2000 cycles. The PCF/NCONS electrodes are also used to fabricate an asymmetric supercapacitor device. The device exhibit high energy density (26.96 Wh/kg), high power density (3870.69 W/kg at 14.52 Wh/ kg) and outstanding cycling stability (96.8 % retention after 3000 cycles). For SIBs, the PCF/NCONS electrodes show a high reversible capacity of 227.68 mAh/g after 100 cycles at a current density of 0.1 A/g. The super-flexible PCF/NCONS electrodes have a wide application prospect for flexible electronics.
