AB  - Using polyethylene as carbon precursor, we have fabricated cost-effective carbon 
      fibers with a sheath-core structure via conjugate melt spinning. Low-density 
      polyethylene (LDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) were used as the sheath 
      and core of the fiber, respectively, while sulfonation with sulfuric acid was 
      conducted to enable the crosslinking of polyethylene. We demonstrated that 
      carbonization and activation of the sheath-core-structured polyethylene fiber can 
      result in a well-developed microporous structure in the sheath layer, and due to 
      the core-sheath structure, the resulting activated carbon fibers exhibit a high 
      tensile strength of ~455 MPa, initial modulus of ~14.4 GPa, and 
      Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of ~1224 m(2)/g. Finally, activated 
      carbon fibers with a hollow, sheath-core, and porous were successfully fabricated 
      by controlling the degree of crosslinking of the LDPE/HDPE sheath-core fiber.
