In this work, activated carbon nanofibers (ACNFs) from precursor polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and magnesium oxide (MgO) were prepared via electrospinning process. The morphological properties of the PAN/MgO based ACNFs were characterized by using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and the specific surfac...
