PARTICULATE POROUS CARBON MATERIAL AND USE THEREOF IN LITHIUM CELLS

摘要

Provided is a particulate porous carbon material comprising a carbon phase and at least one pore phase arranged in the carbon phase, the carbon phase of the particles forming, with the pore phase, essentially co-continuous, irregular phase domains, the distance between adjacent domains of the pore phase being essentially not more than 50nm. Also provided are a process for producing such carbon material, a composite material comprising elemental sulfur and such carbon material, and the use of such materials in lithium cells, especially lithium- sulfur cells.
