Abstract

In Sect. 6.1, syntheses of nanoporous carbons are summarized. Especially control of pore size distributions , which is necessary to enhance the electrode functions of fuel cells, capacitors, and so on, is introduced. In Sect. 6.2, applications of the nanoporous carbon to a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) as well as direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) are summarized; here, the nanocarbon was wrapped by polybenzimidazole , and then Pt-nanoparticles were deposited on it. Such obtained catalysts showed a very high PEFC durability and acted a high CO tolerant, high methanol oxidation reaction, durable, and efficient DMFC catalyst under high methanol concentration (4 M, 8 M). In Sect. 6.3, applications of the nanoporous carbon to electric double-layer (EDL) capacitors were summarized. Mesoporous and macroporous carbons showed surface area-dependent capacity properties. Specific microporous carbons with worm-like shape and appropriate pore size showed unusually high EDL capacities due to desolvation of electrolyte ions in the nanospace. Hierarchical porous structure with the micropores and mesopores was effective to yield high gravimetric EDL capacities.
