In this paper, Kevlar or Polysulfonamide (PSA) pulp were used to replace plant fiber pulp partially or completely and by adjusting their ratios and a variety of Kevlar or PSA pulp reinforced activated carbon fiber paper (ACFP) were prepared via wet-laid paper making technology. The influences of addition of Kevlar or PSA pulp on the permeability, mechanical property, filtration performance, adsorption property of ACFP were discussed by maintaining the addition content of activated carbon fiber unchanged. Results showed that with the addition content of Kevlar or PSA pulp increased, the permeability and filtration performance of ACFP decreased obviously, while the bursting strength and the static CCl4 adsorption performances were firstly increased and then decreased. Generally, the permeability and filtration performance of Kevlar pulp reinforced ACFP were slightly worse than that of PSA pulp reinforced ACFP, while the bursting strength as well as the static CCl4 adsorption properties of Kevlar pulp reinforced ACFP were better than that of PSA pulp reinforced ACFP.

Activated carbon fiber was prepared from liquefied wood by chemical activation with ZnCl2 (Z-LWACF) at different impregnation ratios, with a particular focus on its adsorption property, kinetic and isotherm. The characterization and properties of Z-LWACFs were investigated by nitrogen adsorption/desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), methylene blue (MB) and iodine adsorption. Two activation process methods were employed to prepare Z-LWACF and contrasted with others fibers. The results showed that the Z-LWACF obtained by one-step ZnCl2 activation present higher yields and specific surface area than others fibers. Besides, the change of MB adsorption value at different impregnation ratios was consistent with pore structure distribution above 1.5 nm pore size, indicating that larger micropores (1.5 to 2 nm) and mesopores played a major role in the MB adsorption by Z-LWACF. The kinetics of MB adsorption process was found to follow the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the adsorption rate was controlled by chemisorption. It was also found that MB adsroption by Z-LWACF belonged to monolayer adsorption and Z-LWACF was easy to adsorb MB.

Flexible solid-state yarn supercapacitors were fabricated using commercial carbon fiber and activated carbon fiber. Two methods of yarn construction were studied. One was twisting carbon fiber and activated carbon fiber together (plied yarn), and the other was wrapping activated carbon fiber on carbon fiber (wrapped yarn). Electrochemical measurements in terms of cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge/discharge (GC) and electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were conducted. The result revealed that the cord-yarn structure performed better than the core-spun yarn structure, by showing a specific length capacitance of 82 mF cm−1 at 2 mVs−1. It also exhibited a high specific length energy density of 20.4 μW h cm−1 at a power density of 60 μW cm−1. There was little capacitance reduction when the cord-yarn supercapacitor was bent or crumpled, showing an excellent mechanical flexibility.

In this paper, activated carbon fibers were modified by different chemical reagents. The modified adsorbents were used to investigate adsorption and separation performance of CO2/CH4 gases mixture, and then it could get the best modified adsorbent. The experimental results show that amine can't great grafting on activated carbon fiber. Compared with blank activated carbon fibers, the adsorption property of CO2 did not have much influence on the activated carbon fiber modified by amine. However, it can increase the nitrogen functional groups and the specific surface area on the surface of activated carbon fiber that were modified with nitric acid and ammonia. The above two points were conductive to the adsorption and separation of CO2/CH4 mixture gases.
