<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hierarchical structure that has at least one carbon nanotube extending radially from a nanofiber substrate; to provide a method of using the same; and to provide a method of manufacturing the same. <P>SOLUTION: A method of manufacturing a metal-containing nanofiber includes the steps of: electrospinning a solution comprising an electrospinnable polymer and at least one metal to produce a metal-containing nanofiber; and carbonizing the resultant metal-containing nanofiber; and using a metal and a hydrocarbon compound as a catalyst and a raw material, respectively, to form the carbon nanotube, wherein the metal is Ag, Fe, Pd, Ni or Co. The nanotube is about 30 nm to about 300 mm in diameter and is about 10 nm to about 10,000 mm long. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
