Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a coconut shell-derived modified activated carbon having a BET specific surface area of 1400 to 2000 m2/g, a value of hydrogen content/carbon content of 0.0015 to 0.0055, and intra-skeletal oxygen of 0.9 mass % or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A coconut shell-derived modified activated carbon having a BET specific surface area of 1400 to 2000 m 2 /g, a value of hydrogen content/carbon content of from 0.0015 to 0.0055, and intra-skeletal oxygen of 0.9 mass % or less, wherein a content of particles having a particle diameter of 2 μm or less is 9 vol % or less. 2. The modified activated carbon according to claim 1 , wherein an average particle diameter is from 3.5 μm to 16 μm. 3. The modified activated carbon according to claim 1 , wherein a zeta potential difference is from 30 mV to 100 mV, and a maximum value of zeta potential is 0 mV or more. 4. The modified activated carbon according to claim 1 , wherein an electrical conductivity determined by powder resistance measurement at a load of 12 kN is 9 S/cm or more. 5. A method for producing the modified activated carbon according to claim 1 , the method comprising in random order: acid-washing a coconut shell-derived activated carbon; pulverizing a coconut shell-derived activated carbon to an average particle diameter of from 3.5 μm to 16 μm; classifying a coconut shell-derived activated carbon to achieve a content rate of 9 vol % or less for particles having a particle diameter of 2 μm or less; and heat-treating a coconut shell-derived activated carbon at 900° C. to 1300° C. under an inert gas atmosphere. 6. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising: deacidification under an oxidizing gas atmosphere at 500° C. to 1000° C. after the acid washing. 7. A non-aqueous polarizable electrode, comprising: the modified activated carbon according to claim 1 . 8. An electric double layer capacitor, comprising: the non-aqueous polarizable electrode according to claim 7 . 9. A coconut shell-derived modified activated carbon having a BET specific surface area of 1400 to 2000 m 2 /g, a value of hydrogen content/carbon content of from 0.0015 to 0.0055, and intra-skeletal oxygen of 0.9 mass % or less, wherein a zeta potential difference is from 30 mV to 100 mV, and a maximum value of zeta potential is 0 mV or more. 10. The modified activated carbon according to claim 9 , wherein an average particle diameter is from 3.5 μm to 16 μm. 11. The modified activated carbon according to claim 9 , wherein an electrical conductivity determined by powder resistance measurement at a load of 12 kN is 9 S/cm or more. 12. A method for producing the modified activated carbon of claim 9 , the method comprising in random order: acid-washing a coconut shell-derived activated carbon; pulverizing a coconut shell-derived activated carbon to an average particle diameter of from 3.5 μm to 16 μm; classifying a coconut shell-derived activated carbon to achieve a content rate of 9 vol % or less for particles having a particle diameter of 2 μm or less; and heat-treating a coconut shell-derived activated carbon at 900° C. to 1300° C. under an inert gas atmosphere. 13. The method according to claim 12 , further comprising: deacidification under an oxidizing gas atmosphere at 500° C. to 1000° C. after the acid washing. 14. A non-aqueous polarizable electrode, comprising: the modified activated carbon according to claim 9 . 15. An electric double layer capacitor, comprising: the non-aqueous polarizable electrode according to claim 14 .
