Abstract: An electrode for a redox flow battery, including a plate-shaped carbon electrode material, in which uniform consecutive macropores are formed in a three-dimensional network form and contact interface between carbon particles does not exist, in which: an average macropore diameter of the carbon electrode material is in a range of from 6 ?m to 35 ?m; an interplanar distance of (002) planes of a graphite crystallite in the carbon electrode material is in a range of from 0.33 nm to 0.40 nm; and a crystallite size of a graphite crystallite in a c-axis direction in the carbon electrode material is in a range of from 0.9 nm to 8.5 nm.

Abstract: A sponge roller is made of a polyvinyl acetal porous resin material having elasticity in a wet state, includes a roller in an approximate cylinder form and a plurality of protrusions formed integrally on an outer peripheral surface of the roller, and rotates the multiple protrusions to make contact with a surface to be cleaned so as to clean the surface. The polyvinyl acetal porous resin material constituting the sponge roller contains a cationic functional group.

Abstract: First, the present invention involves adding a curing catalyst to a phenolic resin, polyvinyl alcohol, a pore-forming agent, and a cross-linking agent, and mixing, casting, heating, and drying the same. Next, the plate-shaped porous phenolic resin obtained thereby which has uniform consecutive macropores having an average pore diameter in the range of 3 to 35 ?m and formed in a three-dimensional network pattern is immersed with an organic solvent. Thereafter, this block is extracted and pressure is applied thereto. It is possible to obtain plate-shaped activated carbon for use in an electrode of a power-storage device by carbonizing and activating a block which has undergone this procedure by keeping the same at an increased temperature.

Abstract: An activated carbon for an electrode of a power storage device of the present invention has uniform consecutive macropores, and a pore size distribution centered within a range of 1.5 to 25 ?m, a specific surface area within a range of 1,500 to 2,300 m2/g, a micropore volume within a range of 0.4 to 1.0 mL/g, and an average micropore width within a range of 0.7 to 1.2 nm. Provided is an activated carbon for an electrode of a power storage device suitable for an electric double layer capacitor that has high capacitance during charging and discharging at high current density and excellent endurance against charging at a high voltage of 3 V or more and a lithium-ion capacitor having excellent endurance against charging at a high voltage of 4 V or more.
