Carbon fibre is a lightweight next-generation material with various applications, but its production often requires expensive and toxic organic solvents, as well as highly energy-intensive heating processes. Here, the authors describe the polymerisation and spinning of carbon fibre using water, along with the implementation of a rapid heating process to reduce energy consumption.
