CARBON MATERIAL FOR ELECTRIC DOUBLE LAYER CAPACITOR AND ELECTRIC DOUBLE LAYER CAPACITOR

摘要

An object of the present invention is to provide an electric double layer capacitor carbon material and an electric double layer capacitor which can exhibit excellent charge/discharge characteristics. The carbon material for electric double layer capacitors in accordance with the present invention is characterized in having the BET specific surface area in a range of 300 - 1000 m 2 /g, the carbon interlayer distance in a range of 0.360 - 0.380 nm and the carbon strength of 2000 cps or more. This enables to form an electric double layer capacitor having a high capacitance and a low internal resistance. The electric double layer capacitor of the present invention utilizes this carbon material as a polarizable active material. The capacitor of the present invention exhibits a high capacitance and a low internal resistance.
