In this work, we suggest a facile fabrication of porous carbon fiber electrodes, which is consisted of carbon fibers and uniform carbon nanowires serving as an effective large area for storage of electrical charge. Carbon nanowires were achieved by coating polydopamine on hydrothermally grown zinc oxide nanowires around carbon fiber surface. In order to obtain higher energy density, manganese oxide was further deposited on the carbon nanowires.
