Hierachical Porous Carbon Structures from Cellulose Acetate Fibers
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study describes the transformation of cellulose acetate filters into porous carbon structures by a facile, direct process. Filters from cigarettes were used as the source for cellulose acetate filters. Carbon was obtained by high-temperature treatment under inert conditions without extensive preparative methods. The resulting carbon materials showed structural features on different length scales ranging from the micrometer to the nanometer scale. The materials were investigated using imaging techniques (scanning electron microscopy, SEM; transmission electron microcopy, TEM; and confocal Raman microscopy); the internal structure was investigated with Raman spectroscopy, wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS), small-angle X-ray scattering; and the porosity was explored using nitrogen sorption analysis.

متن کاملFABRICATION OF CARBON FIBERS FROM COMMERCIAL WET SPIN POLYACRYLONITRILE FIBERS
Carbon fibers are fabricated from different materials such as special polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers, cellulose fibers and pitch. But PAN fibers are recognized as the most widely used precursor for the present-day manufacture of carbon fibers. The process of fabrication carbon fibers from special PAN fibers is composed of two steps including oxidative stabilization at low temperature and carbon...
متن کاملConductive cable fibers with insulating surface prepared by coaxial electrospinning of multiwalled nanotubes and cellulose.
Core-sheath multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT)-cellulose fibers of diameters from several hundreds of nanometers to several micrometers were prepared by coaxial electrospinning from a nonvolatile, nonflammable ionic liquid (IL) solvent, 1-methyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([EMIM][Ac]). MWNTs were dispersed in IL to form a gel solution. This gel core solution was electrospun surrounded by a she...
