摘要
Carbon materials capable of efficient hydrogen electrosorption at ambient conditions can be used for negative electrode material in chemical power sources, competitive for metallic hydride alloys. This paper describes physical, chemical and electrochemical properties of active carbon (LAC) produced from lignin processed by standard carbonization and KOH activation at temperature of 950 degrees C. Microporous carbon with BET surface of 1946 m(2)/g obtained in such conditions has a complex porous structure with a considerable number of supermicropores and small mesopores (ca. 50%). As a result, efficient hydrogen electrosorption of 510 mA h/g (1.89 wt% in meaning of energy storage) is obtained and favorable discharge characteristics at current densities up to 1 A/g.
