Activated carbon nanofibers incorporated metal oxides for CO2adsorption: Effects of different type of metal oxides

Activated carbon nanofibers (ACNFs) incorporated with four different types of metal oxides; magnesium oxide (MgO), manganese dioxide (MnO2), zinc oxide (ZnO), and calcium oxide (CaO) were successfully prepared via a simple electrospinning and pyrolysis process. Optimum electrospinning and pyrolysis...
