Badalyan, A.Bromball, R.Pendleton, P.Skinner, W.2013-01-312013-01-312010Carbon, 2010; 48(4):1004-10110008-62231873-3891http://hdl.handle.net/2440/75198Controlled modification of micropore volumes of samples from the FM1-series of activated carbon cloth can be achieved via selective oxidation: strong caustic treatment leads to an increase in volume, while peroxydisulfate treatment leads to a decrease in volume. Pore volume increases are determined to be due to inorganic content leaching, determined via XPS analyses, developing small primary micropores for the least activated carbon cloth (FM1/250) and a widening of the pore width for the most activated carbon cloth (FM1/700). All cloths exhibited Type I nitrogen adsorption isotherms both prior to and post oxidative treatment. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.enCopyright © 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
