Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We studied thermodynamic properties in porous electrodes such as carbon materials by using the computational techniques. We found in particular that, when the pore size is as small as the diameter of the electrolyte ions, the stored electrical energy, the adsorption of each ion species, and the pressure exerted in the pores change dramatically as functions of the pore diameter and the applied voltage. These properties could be utilized for designing of high performance electrochemical capacitors or for selectively adsorbing various ion species from the sea water.
