Abstract: A method for forming activated carbon from carbon feedstock involves forming particles of the carbon feedstock, introducing the carbon feedstock particles into a microwave reaction chamber and forming a fluidized bed of the particles within the chamber, introducing steam into the reaction chamber, and introducing microwaves into the reaction chamber to heat the particles using microwave energy and react the heated particles with the steam to form activated carbon.

Abstract: A method for producing activated carbon includes heating a phenolic novolac resin carbon precursor at a carbonization temperature effective to form a carbon material, and reacting the carbon material with CO2 at an activation temperature effective to form the activated carbon. The resulting activated carbon can be incorporated into a carbon-based electrode of an EDLC. Such EDLC can exhibit a potential window and thus an attendant operating voltage of greater than 3V.
