Polyacrylonitrile/magnesium oxide-based activated carbon nanofibers with well-developed microporous structure and their adsorption performance for methane

PAN-based ACNFs incorporated with MgO was prepared by electrospinning process followed by appropriate activation process. The addition of MgO caused physicochemical changes in term of smaller fiber diameter with an average diameter of 520 nm and higher surface area which is up to four times (1893 m2...
