活性炭是一种性质优良的吸附剂,其制备原料来源广泛,大多是固体废弃物或可再生资源。活性炭以其优异独特的性能,越来越受到人们的青睐,在各领域都得到了广泛应用。但随着工业的发展,对活性炭的要求也越来越高,常规活性炭已经不能够满足各个领域的特殊要求,于是超级活性炭应运而生。超级活性炭因具有巨大的比表面积和优异的吸附性能,受到了越来越多的关注,并被广泛用于燃料气的吸附存储、气体分离、催化剂载体、超级电容器的电极材料等方面。但目前超级活性炭在制备和使用过程中仍存在一些不足有待进一步研究改进。文章就超级活性炭的原料、制备方法、性能及其应用状况进行了综合论述。
Super activated carbon,with its huge surface areas and excellent adsorption properties,has drawn growing attentions in recent years.Literature reviews involve the studies on properties of the high-performance activated carbon and various preparation methods,while the property are closely related to whether the materials being selected and preparation/ activation methods used are appropriate.Super activated carbon at present has been reportedly used in super electric capacitor as the best alterative electrode materials.Besides,many of its potential applications are briefly introduced,e.g,for adsorption and storage of some fuel gas and being as catalysts and catalyst carriers.
