Novel activated carbon materials are being constantly developed and applied in many research and industrial applications. The choice of the precursor represents a key step, to achieve satisfying resulting features in terms of surface development, structural features, carbon contents, and amount of ash. In this work, a novel carbon product has been obtained starting from an electrospun β-cyclodextrin/pyromellitic dianhydride linked nanosponge. After the pyrolysis, the polymeric mat resulted in carbon material still displaying fibrous morphology, characterized by a diameters distribution of 1.3 ± 0.5 μm. A peculiar granular microstructure was observed via FESEM, a 692 m²/g surface area and a 5–12 Å pore size distribution, with pore volume of 0.14 cm³/g, resulted via BET characterization, while −32.8 ± 0.7 mV resulted after ζ potential analysis. These results confirmed β-cyclodextrin/PMDA-linked electrospun nanosponges as a suitable precursor for a novel carbon material preparation.

新型活性炭材料正在不断开发，并在许多研究和工业应用中得到应用。前体的选择代表了关键的一步，要获得令人满意的表面发展，结构特征，碳含量和灰分含量方面的特征。在这项工作中，从电纺β-环糊精/均苯四酸二酐连接的纳米海绵开始获得了一种新型的碳产品。在热解之后，聚合物垫导致碳材料仍然显示纤维形态，其特征在于直径分布为1.3±0.5μm。通过FESEM观察到特殊的颗粒微观结构，其表面积为692 m ² / g，孔径分布为5–12Å，孔体积为0.14 cm ³/ g，通过BET表征得出，而ζ电位分析后，得出-32.8±0.7 mV。这些结果证实了β-环糊精/ PMDA连接的电纺纳米海绵是用于新型碳材料制备的合适前体。
