Effect of Thermal Stabilization on PAN-Derived Electrospun Carbon Nanofibers for CO2 Capture.

ABSTRACT: Carbon capture is amongst the key emerging technologies for the mitigation of greenhouse gases (GHG) pollution. Several materials as adsorbents for CO2 and other gases are being developed, which often involve using complex and expensive fabrication techniques. In this work, we suggest a sound, easy and cheap route for the production of nitrogen-doped carbon materials for CO2 capture by pyrolysis of electrospun poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN) fibers. PAN fibers are generally processed following specific heat treatments involving up to three steps (to get complete graphitization), one of these being stabilization, during which PAN fibers are oxidized and stretched in the 200-300 °C temperature range. The effect of stabilization temperature on the chemical structure of the carbon nanofibers is inve
