Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for producing cellulose nanofiber carbon includes a freezing step of freezing a solution or gel containing cellulose nanofibers to obtain a frozen product, a drying step of drying the frozen product in a vacuum to obtain a dried product, and a carbonizing step of heating and carbonizing the dried product in an atmosphere in which the dried product does not burn to obtain cellulose nanofiber carbon, in which, in the carbonizing step, the dried product is heated together with a sacrificial agent that is carbonized before the dried product is carbonized to generate a reducing gas.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method for producing cellulose nanofiber carbon, the method comprising: freezing a solution or gel containing a cellulose nanofiber to obtain a frozen product; drying the frozen product in a vacuum to obtain a dried product; and heating and carbonizing the dried product in an atmosphere in which the dried product does not burn to obtain cellulose nanofiber carbon, wherein in the carbonizing, the dried product is heated together with a sacrificial agent that is carbonized before the dried product is carbonized to generate a reducing gas. 2 . The method for producing the cellulose nanofiber carbon according to claim 1 , wherein pulp is used as the sacrificial agent. 3 . The method for producing the cellulose nanofiber carbon according to claim 2 , wherein an amount of water absorption per unit volume of the pulp is 150 L/m 3 or more. 4 . The method for producing the cellulose nanofiber carbon according to claim 2 , wherein the amount of water absorption per unit volume of the pulp is 8 L/kg or more. 5 . The method for producing the cellulose nanofiber carbon according to claim 3 , wherein the amount of water absorption per unit volume of the pulp is 8 L/kg or more.
