Synthesis and Characterization of Carbon Papers

Abstract

Porous carbons are promising for wide range of applications from sensors to CO2 capturing. This work aims to report a facile approach to synthesize porous carbons by using cheap and sustainable materials. Porous carbons are also treated to tune the chemical and physical structure. SEM images, FTIR spectra, Raman spectra and XRD patterns are examined to characterize the porous carbons. The treated carbon fibers showed highly disordered structure with a large interlayer spacing. Results show that porous carbons could be applicable for different applications
