Abstract

Highlights: [•] Activated electrospun carbon nanofibers were oxidized by acid treatment. [•] Surface polarity of nanofibers increased with surface oxygen content increasing. [•] Enhanced surface polarity led to higher water adsorption capacities on nanofibers. [•] Surface oxidation improved the adsorption tendency for butanone over benzene. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
