Herein this study, nanocomposite activated carbon nanofibers embedded with MnO2 (called as ACNFs/MnO2) were prepared by carbonization and activation of electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers for the removal of lead(II) ions from aqueous solution. The prepared ACNFs/MnO2 were characterized by...
