Preparation of flexible zinc oxide/carbon nanofiber webs for mid-temperature desulfurization

- Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and zinc precursor were electrospun and heat-treated for preparing zinc oxide (ZnO) modified carbon nanofibers (CNF).
- A facile synthesis of composite webs resulted in uniformly loaded ZnO on the surface of CNFs.
- The composites showed significant hydrogen sulfide adsorption efficiency at 300 °C.
- The flexible webs can be applied for mid-temperature desulfurization.
