Using polyethylene as carbon precursor, we have fabricated cost-effective carbon fibers with a sheath-core structure via conjugate melt spinning. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) were used as the sheath and core of the fiber, respectively, while sulfonation with sulfuric acid was conducted to enable the crosslinking of polyethylene. We demonstrated that carbonization and activation of the sheath-core-structured polyethylene fiber can result in a well-developed microporous structure in the sheath layer, and due to the core-sheath structure, the resulting activated carbon fibers exhibit a high tensile strength of ~455 MPa, initial modulus of ~14.4 GPa, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area of ~1224 m2/g. Finally, activated carbon fibers with a hollow, sheath-core, and porous were successfully fabricated by controlling the degree of crosslinking of the LDPE/HDPE sheath-core fiber.

Various jute-based activated carbon fibers were prepared by using jute fibers as raw materials and phosphoric acid as activating agent. The effects of three main factors such as concentration of activating agent, activation temperature and activation time on the yield and adsorptive properties of active carbon fibers were investigated via orthogonal experiments. The surface physical morphology of jute-based activated carbon fiber was also observed by using Scanning Electron Microscope. Results showed that the optimum conditions were phosphoric acid concentration of 4 mol/L, activation temperature of 600 °C and activation time of 1h. The yield, iodine number and amount of methylene blue adsorption of the active carbon fiber prepared under optimum conditions were 37.99 %, 1208.87 mg/g and 374.65 mg/g, respectively.
