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...

description |
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 parameters were performed to obtain porous ACNFs composites for CO2 capture. The porous and textural characteristics of the resultant ACNFs composites were performed using N2 adsorption isotherms at 77 K, while the features and morphologies were observed using TEM and FE-SEM. The EDX and Raman analysis were used to determine and analyse the elemental composition in the ACNFs. It was observed that ACNFs incorporated MgO (ACNF2) exhibited the largest surface area (413 m2/g) and the highest micropore volume (0.1777 cm3/g) as compared to pristine ACNF (ACNF1) and other ACNFs composites. ACNF2 also possessed the smallest fiber diameter of 357.8 ± 16.7 nm as compared to other samples. The successful incorporation of all metal oxides in electrospun fibers were proven by EDX analysis. All resultant ACNFs exhibited D- and G-peaks in Raman spectra indicating the carbon-based materials structure.
