Abstract

Jute is a cheap source of biodegradable and environment friendly natural fiber that possesses unique application potential in packaging material, home textiles, insulation material, floor coverings, geo-composites, medical and health related products. In order to amplify the applications of jute fiber, preparation of light-weight carbon microfiber is attempted via a simple solvent-free high temperature carbonization in a sealed stainless autoclave at 650 ± 50 °C followed by cooling. The heating-cooling cycle is repeated 10 times without any chemical activation. The bulk density, particle density and hollowness/porosity of as-prepared carbon fiber are 0.2609 g cm⁻³, 4.02 g cm⁻³, and 93.51 % respectively. Scanning electron microscopic images revealed the presence of multi-channel hollow structure and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface measurement indicated mesoporous surface. The overall average diameter of raw jute fiber (RJF) is declined from 79.7 μm to around 6.7 μm after high temperature carbonization. The as prepared carbon fiber is named as multi-channel hollow carbon microfiber (MCHCMF). Few of the microfibers also contained single hollow along the longitudinal axis. Surface characterization of MCHCMF confirmed the reduction of oxygen containing -OH, CO, -CH₂ and C-O-C groups and enhancement of CC ring structure. The sorption behavior of different organic solvents and surfactants on MCHCMF displayed significant sorption because of large specific surface area and mesoporous hollow structure. Hence, such MCHCMF can be applied in environmental restoration, energy storage, catalysis, decolorizer and in wide range of industries ranging from membrane, mat to chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

期刊介绍： DRM is a leading international journal that publishes new fundamental and applied research on all forms of diamond, the integration of diamond with other advanced materials and development of technologies exploiting diamond. The synthesis, characterization and processing of single crystal diamond, polycrystalline films, nanodiamond powders and heterostructures with other advanced materials are encouraged topics for technical and review articles. In addition to diamond, the journal publishes manuscripts on the synthesis, characterization and application of other related materials including diamond-like carbons, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and boron and carbon nitrides. Articles are sought on the chemical functionalization of diamond and related materials as well as their use in electrochemistry, energy storage and conversion, chemical and biological sensing, imaging, thermal management, photonic and quantum applications, electron emission and electronic devices. The International Conference on Diamond and Carbon Materials has evolved into the largest and most well attended forum in the field of diamond, providing a forum to showcase the latest results in the science and technology of diamond and other carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and diamond-like carbon. Run annually in association with Diamond and Related Materials the conference provides junior and established researchers the opportunity to exchange the latest results ranging from fundamental physical and chemical concepts to applied research focusing on the next generation carbon-based devices.
