Abstract

Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) are non-microporous materials with a high surface area ($100{\sim}200m^2/g$) and high purity. Therefore, the material has a high potential for use as catalyst support. Activated carbon fibers (ACFs) are of increasing concern with regard to the levels of toxic air pollutants emitted from high-technology industry. Rayon-based CNFs and ACFs was subjected to thermal oxidation under a wide variety of temperature and air conditions to modify the surface properties. Rayon-based CNFs and ACFs were prepared by using thermal chemistry. CNFs were synthesized at temperatures above $600^{\circ}C$ in an air atmosphere and grew with increased temperature and air conditions. After heating at $800^{\circ}C$ for 72 hr, carbonized rayon with ACFs had $2,662m^2/g$ (BET) of surface area and $1.41cm^3/g$ of pore volume. The resulting ACFs had a 99% surface area in which pore size was 10 nm or less, and a 60 % surface area in which pore size was 2 nm or less.
