A mechanism study of acid-assisted oxidative stabilization of asphaltene-derived carbon fibers
Download2021-10-01
Leistenschneider, Desirée, Zuo, Peiyuan, Kim, Yuna, Abedi, Zahra, Ivey, Douglas G., de Klerk, Arno, Zhang, Xuehua, Chen, Weixing
The development of inexpensive carbon fiber precursors is necessary to meet the future demands of carbon fibers. This work shows how asphaltenes, which are obtained as a by-product in bitumen production, can play an important role as such inexpensive carbon fiber precursors. To synthesize carbon...

High Performance Electrode and Catalyst Nano-materials for Energy Storage Devices: Supercapacitors, Pseudocapacitors and Zinc-air Batteries Made from Asphaltene Based Carbon Fibers
DownloadSpring 2023
The demand for grid-scale energy storage becomes significant as the world continues to move towards renewable and sustainable energy storage technologies. Capacitors and batteries are energy storage devices used in almost all electronic devices. The first study in this work investigated the...
