Although traditionally high-surface area carbon materials have been considered as rigid structures with a disordered three dimensional (3D) network of graphite microdomains associated with a limited electrical conductivity (highly depending on the porous structure and surface chemistry), here we show for the first time that this is not the case for activated carbon materials prepared using harsh activation conditions (e.g., KOH activation). In these specific samples a clear structural re-orientation can be observed upon adsorption of different organic molecules, the structural changes giving rise to important changes in the electrical resistivity of the material. Whereas short chain hydrocarbons and their derivatives give rise to an increased resistivity, the contrary occurs for longer-chain hydrocarbons and/or alcohols. The high sensitivity of these high-surface area carbon materials towards these organic molecules opens the gate towards their application for sensing devices.

AbstractThe spent phenolic resin is as raw material for preparing high surface area activated carbon (HSAAC) by microwave-assisted KOH activation. The effects of microwave power, activation duration and impregnation ratio (IR) on the iodine adsorption capability and yield of HSAAC were investigated. The surface characteristics of HSAAC were characterized by nitrogen adsorption isotherms, FTIR, SEM and TEM. The operating variables were optimized utilizing the response surface methodology (RSM) and were identified to be microwave power of 700 W, activation duration of 15 min and IR of 4, corresponding to a yield of 51.25 % and an iodine number of 2,384 mg/g. The pore structure parameters of the HSAAC, i. e., Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area, total pore volume, and average pore diameter were estimated to be 4,269 m2/g, 2.396 ml/g and 2.25 nm, respectively, under optimum conditions. The findings strongly support the feasibility of microwave-assisted KOH activation for preparation of HSAAC from spent phenolic resin.

The activated carbon with high surface area was prepared by KOH activation from anthracite and used as adsorbent for removal of Cr (VI) from aqueous solution. The pore structure and surface properties were characterized by N2 adsorption at 77K, transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy ( FTIR). Effect of pH and isotherms at different temperature were investigated. Results show that the prepared carbon is a microporous-and mesoporous-adsorbent with developed pore structure and abundant surface oxygen-containing groups. PH value of the solution plays key function on the adsorption. The chemical adsorption dominates the adsorption process. The activated carbon exhibits much higher Cr adsorption capacity than the commercial activated carbon at initial pH of ~3. The equilibrium adsorption data are fitted by both Freundlich model and Langmuir model well.
