Abstract
The present application is directed to carbon materials comprising an optimized pore structure. The carbon materials comprise enhanced electrochemical properties and find utility in any number of electrical devices, for example, as electrode material in ultracapacitors. Methods for making the disclosed carbon materials are also disclosed.
Claims35
A carbon material comprising a pore structure, the pore structure comprising micropores, mesopores and a total pore volume, wherein from 80% to 90% of the total pore volume resides in micropores, from 10% to 20% of the total pore volume resides in mesopores, provided that less than 10% of the total pore volume resides in pores greater than 20 nm.
