In this study, a hierarchal web of carbon micro and nanofibers was used as a precursor for the synthesis of a carbon molecular sieve (CMS). CMSs were prepared by thermal treatment of carbon fibers using a microwave heating device. The heating power and treatment time were optimized for the maximum p...
