Graphical abstract
Highlights► Carbon nanofibers (CNF) grown on activated carbon microfibers (ACFs) can be directly used as an adsorbent without requiring a post-synthesis step. ► Difference in the size and structure of both adsorbates and adsorbents should be taken into consideration in developing efficient adsorbents. ► This study is a step in developing a general platform suitable for developing carbon nano-/microfibers based adsorbents for environmental remediation applications.
