Waste plastics are hydrogenolyzed and served as the solvent for coal liquefaction. The liquefied coal is fabricated into carbon fibers. This process shows a sustainable pathway to avoid pollution and ...

Carbon fibers consist of thin filaments (5–10 micrometers in diameter) made of long chains of carbon atoms arranged in a polycrystalline structure. These fibers contain 92–100 wt% anisotropic carbon ...

Porous carbon materials with good microwave absorption properties were prepared by Friedel-Crafts reaction and high-temperature carbonization using inexpensive coal tar pitch as carbon source. Porous ...
