CARBON MATERIAL FOR AIR ELECTRODE FOR AIR BATTERY, AND AIR BATTERY COMPRISING SAID CARBON MATERIAL

摘要

The present invention is to provide a carbonaceous material for the air electrode of an air battery, which has more oxygen reduction reaction initiating points than conventional carbonaceous materials, and an air battery comprising the carbonaceous material. Disclosed is a carbonaceous material for use in an air electrode of an air battery, wherein an average aspect ratio of the carbonaceous material is 1 or more and less than 10, and an edge area of a surface of the carbonaceous material is 55 m 2 /g or more.
