Firstly,the webs were stabilized under different pre-oxidation conditions; secondly,the pre-oxidative fibers were chemically activated by high temperature treatment in nitrogen. Pre-oxidation temperature,heating rate,and treatment time are the main factors on affecting the adsorption performance of the ACFs. Scanning electron microscope ( SEM) , differential scanning calorimeter ( DSC ) ,and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy ( FTIR ) were used to characterize the structure and property of the pre-oxidative fibers,and the dynamic benzene adsorption capacity of benzene of ACFs was measured. The results indicate that the moderate pre-oxidation condition is necessary to prepare the ACFs with better adsorption capacity,and the optimal oxidation conditions are to increase from room temperature to 230 ℃ with a heating rate of 0. 75 ℃·min - 1 ,held at the peak temperature for 30 min.展开更多

The influence of activation conditions including impregnation ratio（the mass ratio of PANOF to KOH）, activation temperature and activation time on the pore structure and electrochemical properties of ACF was investigated, and the corresponding activation mechanism was proposed. The ACF prepared at an activation temperature of 800℃ and an impregnation ratio（the mass ratio of PANOF to KOH） of 1：2 for an activation time of 1 b in 6 mol/L KOH solution exhibits a specific surface area of 3029 m^2/g, a mesoporosity of 84.2% and a specific capacitance of 288 F/g, and shows a good capacitive performance. The prepared ACF can be used as the electrode material for supercapacitors.展开更多

Activation temperature and KOH/carbon ratio are two parameters to tune the porosity and surface chemical properties of sorbents. The as-obtained sorbents were carefully characterized.Special attention was paid concerning the change of sorbents’ morphology with respect to synthesis conditions. Under the activation temperatures of this study, the sorbents can still retain their fibrous structure when the KOH/carbon mass ratio is 1. Further increasing the KOH amount will destroy the original morphology of polyacrylonitrile fiber. CO_(2)adsorption performance tests show that a sorbent retaining the fibrous shape possesses the highest CO_(2)uptake of 3.95 mmol/g at 25℃and 1 bar. Comprehensive investigation found that the mutual effect of narrow microporosity and doped N content govern the CO_(2)adsorption capacity of these adsorbents. Furthermore, these polyacrylonitrile fiber-derived carbons present multiple outstanding CO_(2)capture properties such as excellent recyclability, high CO_(2)/N_(2)selectivity, fast adsorption kinetics, suitable heat of adsorption, and good dynamic adsorption capacity. Hence, nitrogen-doped porous carbons with fibrous structure are promising in CO_(2)capture.展开更多
