The objective of this study is to prepare a new and highly efficient nanomaterial for heavy metals adsorption. Owing to that, activated carbon nanofibers (ACNFs) from precursor polyacrylnitrile (PAN) and manganese oxide (MnO2) have been prepared via electrospinning process for removal of heavy metal...
