Key Functional Advantages
• Extremely High Surface Area
With a specific surface area of approximately 1,600 m²/g, this activated carbon allows extensive electrode/electrolyte contact and double-layer formation.
• Optimized Microporosity
A well-developed micropore structure supports high capacitance and effective charge storage at the electrode surface.
• Stable Electrical Properties
Low ash and controlled metal content help minimize side reactions, making the material suitable for repeatable lab testing and prototype evaluations.
• Versatile Compatibility
Can be used as an active material for EDLC electrode development, hybrid capacitors, and research into high-surface area carbon electrode systems.
Processing & Electrode Integration
• Can be dispersed using standard binder systems (e.g., PVDF, SBR/CMC) during slurry preparation.
• Suitable for coating on current collectors such as aluminum or stainless steel substrates.
• Compatible with both aqueous and non-aqueous electrolyte systems, depending on the targeted cell design.
Recommended Applications
• Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitors (EDLCs) – optimized for capacitive charge storage.
• Battery Active Material Research – for high-surface area electrode development.
• Hybrid Energy Storage Devices – combining battery and supercapacitor features.
• Capacitive Deionization & Electrochemistry Studies
• Pilot Lab & Prototype Testing
Handling & Storage
Store in a sealed, dry environment to prevent moisture uptake and contamination. Use appropriate PPE when handling fine carbon powders to avoid inhalation or dispersion into the working environment.
