CARBON MATERIAL AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a carbon material not containing expensive noble metals such as platinum or an alloy of those and suitable for an electrode catalyst for a fuel cell and the like.SOLUTION: The carbon material is obtained by firing a wholly aromatic polyamide composition comprising 100 pts.mass of a wholly aromatic polyamide comprising a repeating unit represented by general formula (1) (wherein Arand Arare each a 6-20C divalent aromatic group) and 1-150 pts.mass of a metal halide at 500-1,500°C in an inert gas atmosphere.
