  • COMPOSITE CARBON FIBER ELECTRODES INCORPORATING POROUS HIGH SURFACE AREA CARBON
    Publication number: 20120189877
    Abstract: The claimed invention uses activated carbon fibers that incorporate porous carbon with a suitable pore size to maximize capacitance. The porous carbon material is prepared using a template, followed by incorporation into a matrix polymer and electrospinning of the mixture. Subsequent thermal treatments retain the fiber form, and a composite carbon fiber incorporating templated porous carbon is attained. The resulting electrode is binder free and 100% electrochemically active. Energy densities up to 41 Wh/kg in energy density 1.5 kW/kg in power density (electrode weight only) have been achieved.
