The fabrication of an economic and efficient multifunctional advanced nanomaterial with a rational composition configuration by facile methodology is crucial challenge. Herein, we are the first to report growth Co nanoparticle-integrated nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNTs) on porous nanofibers simply heating in situ-developed metal–organic framework (MOF)-based electrospun nanofibrous membrane no need for external supply any additional precursors reducing gases. long entangled N-CNTs originating from highly graphitic offer good flexibility, large surface area, high porosity, conductivity, homogeneous incorporation heteroatoms metallic constituents, abundant exposure active nanocatalytic sites. as-developed nanoassembly demonstrates attractive characteristics electrocatalytic hydrogen oxygen evolution reactions electrochemical energy storage. This strategy integrating essence MOF electrospinning offers new, direct, cost-effective approach making N-doped CNT-based membranes.
