Outline of Final Research Achievements

It has been developed that "energy-strage carbon materials" can be synthesized via partiai graphitization by using ordered meoporous silica templates with the aid of metal catalyst. Using Co catalyst, the carbonization temperature can be decreased from 800 to 700 degreee-C, and the carbonized porous materials catalyzed by Co at 1000 degree-C showed greater electric double-layer capacitance as high as 7 microF/cm2. Moreover, using acenaphthene as a carbon soruce, the obtained porous carbon electrode exhibited excellent capacitance of 10 microF/cm2.
