Article highlights Activated carbon fiber with high quaternary nitrogen content was prepared by Na2CO3 activation of PAN-based carbon fiber. Storage of activated carbon fiber in vacuum and in 1 M hydrochloric acid solution was stable. ACF with heat treatment at 950 °C had a solution equilibrium pH of 4–5 and a stable adsorption rate.
