Simple dispersion of carbon nanofibers in a naturally occurring polyphenol in water and their electrochemical characteristics

Carbon nanofibers are hydrophobic with poor dispersion in water. They are normally functionalised using highly acidic solutions and elevated temperatures. In this communication, we show that tannic acid can be employed at room temperature using a simple sonication method to give very good dispersion...
