Fabrication of high efficiency coronavirus filter using activated carbon nanoparticles

Abstract

In this study design and fabrication of coronavirus filter based on the cellulose and carbon nanomaterials have been investigated. Particulate matter (PM) corona virus has attracted a lot of attention due to its great threat to human health. Nanoparticles are intertwined with fibers and form highly porous air filter paper. The structure of the filter has been characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis. In addition, by optimization with activated carbon (AC) nanoparticles, the prepared AC air filter paper shows a high removal efficiency of more than 95% for PM 100 nm. More importantly, this filter shows less pressure drop and less thickness. This filter has a positive effect on the prevention of this disease during the coronavirus epidemic and show high absorption efficiency air filter for PM more than 100 nm.

Carbon-based nanomaterials against SARS-CoV-2: Therapeutic and diagnostic applications

“…The outcomes exhibited the decreasing size of the holes through nanomaterials in the filter to 30 nm. These carbon-based materials showed that the activated carbon NPs have a good potential to be applied for mask fabrication [103] .…”

Recent advances in Ni-materials/carbon nanocomposites for supercapacitor electrodes

“…[63][64][65][66][67][68] Nanomaterials and nanocomposites are receiving more attention in making energy storage devices, sensors, and different applications. [69][70][71][72][73][74][75] In this review, the developments of Ni material/carbon nanomaterial-based supercapacitors for 2022-2023 publications (Scopus) are studied and compared. We have discussed the specific capacitance, power density, energy density, cycling stability, and rate capability of Ni-materials/carbon nanocomposites in supercapacitor applications.…”
