Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Electrospun carbon nanofiber (CNF) webs with controlled density of states (DOS)</bold> are synthesized through varying the carbonization conditions to manipulate the concentration of nanosized graphite domains. These materials exhibit adjustable electrochemical activity and biosensitivity: both electron transfer kinetics for various redox systems and direct electron transfer efficiencies with enzymes increase with the DOS of the CNF webs. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1v8t2sh1" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
