OPTIMIZATION OF SURFACE TREATMENT AND FUNCTIONALIZATION OF MULTIWALLED CARBON NANOTUBES (MWCNT) FOR CARBON DIOXIDE (C02) ADSORPTION

OPTIMIZATION OF SURFACE TREATMENT AND FUNCTIONALIZATION OF MULTIWALLED CARBON NANOTUBES (MWCNT) FOR CARBON DIOXIDE (C02) ADSORPTION

The unique characteristics of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) such as high porosity, high surface area and the existence of surface functional groups through chemical modification makes it a suitable material for adsorption of carbon dioxide (CO2). However, due to its hydrophobicity and the...
