Free-Standing Carbon Nanofiber Composite Networks Derived from Bacterial Cellulose and Polypyrrole for Ultrastable Potassium-Ion Batteries.

Carbon materials derived from bacterial cellulose have been studied in lithium-ion batteries due to their low cost and flexible characteristics. However, they still face many intractable problems such as low specific capacity and poor electrical conductivity. Herein, bacterial cellulose is used as the carrier and skeleton to creatively realize the composite of polypyrrole on its nanofiber surface.
