Summary:Graphene oxide sheets get anisotropically crumpled and oriented by radial and shear forces in fast‐thinning electrospun jets. On page 5763, Y. Dzenis and co‐workers demonstrate that a small fraction of these nanoparticles in polyacrylonitrile precursor nanofibers can produce global improvements of the graphitic order and orientation in the resulting carbon nanofilaments. Such a templating methodology utilizing low‐cost constituents, efficient top‐down nanomanufacturing, and relatively low carbonization temperatures may lead to inexpensive continuous carbon nanofibers with improved mechanical and transport properties.
