| Description | Carbon nanostructured materials have garnered great interest in recent years since carbon nanostructured materials have many tailored features and enhance device performance to several orders of magnitudes. Carbon nanostructured materials are manufactured in the form of nanoparticles, nanofilms, and nanofibers. Activated carbon (AC) materials have high specific surface as a result of microporous structures and have been widely used for various purposes, including purifications of water, beverages, and chemicals; energy storage as anode layers in batteries and supercapacitors; electron-emitting devices; and gas and molecular adsorbents. AC is a form of carbon with small and low volume of pores on and inside the surface that increase surface area and provide available reachable surface for adsorption, chemical reaction, and interactions on the surface. Due to the pore size and volume, pores are named meso-, micro-, and macropores. When the pore diameters are beyond 500 A, the pores are called macropores, those below 50 Å are called micropores, those around 2–50 nm are called mesopores, and those above 50 nm are called macropores (Sodhi 2013). These pore sizes in an AC can be controlled due to precursor material, reagents, and carbonization and activation process of carbon. Book Name: Carbon Nanomaterials Sourcebook |
