Abstract: A carbon material for electric double layer capacitor electrodes which is obtained by a heat treatment and an activation treatment of a material pitch having a softening point in a range of 150 to 350° C., a ratio of amounts by atom of hydrogen to carbon (H/C) in a range of 0.50 to 0.90 and a content of optically anisotropic components of 50% or greater. The material pitch is preferably a synthetic pitch obtained by polymerizing a condensed polycyclic hydrocarbon such as naphthalene, methylnaphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene, acenaphthene, acenaphthylene and pyrene in the presence of an ultra-strong acid catalyst such as a hydrogen fluoride-boron trifluoride complex. Electric double layer capacitors having a high electrode density and a high electrostatic capacity per unit volume can be constructed using the carbon material.

Abstract: When a pitch composition prepared by mixing 100 parts by weight of mesophase pitch with 10 to 1,000 parts by weight of coal tar pitch, is heat-treated at a temperature of 500° C. or higher, it is possible to produce a high-density coke at a high yield while avoiding the foaming of the mesophase pitch. In addition, when the coke is graphitized at a temperature of 2,000° C. or higher, it is possible to obtain an artificial graphite having a high graphitization degree. Further, when the coke is first pulverized and then graphitized at a temperature of 2,000° C. or higher, it is possible to obtain a high-crystallinity graphite powder which can be suitably used as a carbon material for a negative electrode of non-aqueous solvent type secondary battery having a high discharge capacity and a high charge-discharge efficiency.
