HOLLOW CARBON MICROPARTICLE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME

摘要

Provided is a hollow carbon microparticle which is elastic and ultra-lightweight.  Also provided is a method for producing the same.  Microdroplets of a mixed solution containing a water-soluble organic material and lithium carbonate are formed.  Next, the mixed solution in the form of microdroplets is dried to give microparticles of a complex of the water-soluble organic material with lithium carbonate.  Then, the complex microparticles are thermally decomposed within a temperature range of 500oC to 900oC.
