The thermo oxidative stabilization step in air is usually carried out below 300 ◦C as the Tfihrset stheperwmhiochoexniadbaletsivtheesftoarbmialtiizoantioof na lsatdedperisntrauicrtuirse uthsaut adloleys cnaotrrcioelldaposeut belo during the subsequent thermal treatments.

Therefore, this stage controls and dri content of the carbon fibers, might also be influenced by this thermal treatment. After mechanical properties of the CNFs, and chemical properties, such as the eleme stabilization in air, the PAN structure could undergo several modifications due to the oxfidthateiocnaarnbdorneafrirbaenrgse,mmenitgohftnaitlrsiloe gbreouinpsflwuiethntcheedpbroyduthctisonthofecromndaelntsredantmitroegnetn.-After s doped rings (Figure 3i) that could further evolve to N6 moieties [32,35]. Furthermore, in air, the PAN structure could undergo several modifications due to the ox homolytic cleavage of nitrile groups could also lead to the formation of N5 (Figure 3ii) and rearrangement of nitrile groups with the production of condensed nitrogen- NQ (Figure 3iii) structures after dehydrogenation reactions. Interestingly, Grassie et al. [34] (Figure 3i) that could further evolve to N6 moieties [32,35]. Furthermore, hom reported the formation mechanism of carbon rings through the coupling of homolytic nitrile cleavage and heterolytic hydrogen cleavage (Figure 3iv). The occurrence of these age of nitrile groups could also lead to the formation of N5 (Figure 3ii) and mechanisms was supported by the FT-IR spectra, which are shown in Figure 4. 3iii) structures after dehydrogenation reactions. Interestingly, Grassie et al. [ CNFs stabilized at 230 ◦C display a reduction of peak of νCN centred at around the form−1 ation mechanism of carbon rings through the cou−p1 ling of homolytic 2240 cm and a drastic lowering of νC=O peaked at around 1740 cm that was likely daugetoanthdephrestenrcoelyofticcarhboyxdyrliocgadednitcivlesa[v3a9]gient(hFeigcoumrmee3ricvia)l.PTAhNe.Tohcecνurrensicgenaolfatthese CH2 1452 cm−1 is not significantly decreased after 1 h (sample CNF_230) and 2 h of treatment at was supported by the FT-IR spectra, which are shown in Figure 4. 230 ◦C indicating that dehydrogenation was barely initiated. At 260 ◦C, νCN peak intensity is further reduced, suggesting an advanced nitrile groups rearrangement [39] with rising of νC=C and νC=N. Stabilization time seemed to poorly affect PAN when a temperature of up to 230 ◦C is used during the stabilization process, while it became more relevant at 260 ◦C. After 2 h at 260 ◦C, νCN and νCH2 peaks completely disappeared and the neat and nitrogen containing aromatic moieties are massively detected. After the stabilization, the pyrolytic treatment induced the conversion of PAN fibers to CNFs with the disappearing s m w o v n i d o N 3 n m
