Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided are cellulose nanofiber carbon having elasticity, high mechanical strength, and capable of increasing its specific surface area, and a method for producing the same. A method for producing cellulose nanofiber carbon by carbonizing cellulose nanofibers, includes a semi-carbonization step S2 of semi-carbonizing a dispersion liquid or gel containing cellulose nanofibers with a heat medium to obtain a semi-carbonized body, and a carbonization step S3 of heating and carbonizing the semi-carbonized body in an atmosphere that does not burn the semi-carbonized body to obtain cellulose nanofiber carbon.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method for producing cellulose nanofiber carbon by carbonizing cellulose nanofibers, the method comprising: semi-carbonizing a dispersion liquid or gel containing cellulose nanofibers with a heat medium to obtain a semi-carbonized product; and heating and carbonizing the semi-carbonized product in an atmosphere that does not burn the semi-carbonized product to obtain cellulose nanofiber carbon. 2 . The method for producing cellulose nanofiber carbon according to claim 1 , wherein the heat medium is hot water at high temperature and high pressure. 3 . The method for producing cellulose nanofiber carbon according to claim 1 or 2 , further comprising crushing the carbonized cellulose nanofiber carbon. 4 . The method for producing cellulose nanofiber carbon according to claim 3 , further comprising: mixing the crushed cellulose nanofiber carbon and a dispersion liquid containing the cellulose nanofibers to obtain a mixed solution; and removing liquid from the mixed solution. 5 . The method for producing cellulose nanofiber carbon according to claim 1 or 2 , further comprising dispersing the cellulose nanofibers using bacteria to form the gel. 6 . The method for producing cellulose nanofiber carbon according to claim 5 , further comprising: crushing the carbonized cellulose nanofiber carbon; crushing the formed gel; and mixing the crushed cellulose nanofiber carbon with the crushed gel to obtain a mixture. 7 . The method for producing cellulose nanofiber carbon according to claim 6 , further comprising: applying the mixture to form a predetermined shape; and removing liquid from the mixture. 8 . Cellulose nanofiber carbon comprising a three-dimensional network structure of a co-continuous body in which cellulose nanofibers are connected.
