Microwave Treatment of Polyacrylonitrile Powder Method Development and Effects of Surface Modification Porosity for Supercapacitor Devices or other Mobile Applications
| Resumo: | The aim of this article is to develop a method in order to investigate the surface modifications of degraded polyacrylonitrile powders under microwave treatment in air. Microwave treatment of polyacrylonitrile powders in air recorded two stages of degradation firstly an exothermic reaction that started in the range of (86-117)°C. Secondly the Thermal runway here the weight loss reached a peak value between 80-90 percent with the small quantity of 0.25g polyacrylonitrile and in the ashes with a bigger quantity 1g of polyacrylonitrile. Scanning electron microscopy analysis technique revealed the morphological characteristics and the porosity of the carbon compound that may play an important role in the construction of high porosity area and so in electrochemical supercapacitor devices with high performances. |
