Abstract

"Surface Modifications of Carbon Fibers with Different Graphitization Indexes to Produce Cu/Carbon Fiber Composites by Electroless Process"

Highlights

  • Deposition of metal particles on carbon fibers (CF) is important to produce composite that could be considered as a threedimensional material with large surface area for electrochemical applications

  • Raman spectroscopy analyses: heat treatment temperatures (HTT) effect on the carbonization process for the PAN precursor conversion into CF was considered in this work, since a strong dependence on the CF microstructural properties with the HTT had been verified in our previous studies [11,17,18]

  • Almeida et al [17] discussed that these parameters are important to evaluate the CF graphitization index associated to the HTT increase, which promotes a high organization of the graphitic layers

Summary

Introduction

Deposition of metal particles on carbon fibers (CF) is important to produce composite that could be considered as a threedimensional material with large surface area for electrochemical applications. The control of nitrogen species is of great interest since the accumulation of these species on surface and ground water is linked to a high number of ecological and human health concerns [1]. In this sense, the development of methodologies economically viable and environmentally friendly has been studied for this purpose [2,3]. The preparation of this type of composite using electroless process for application in electrochemical removal of nitrogen species in water is proposed in this paper
