The application of activated carbon in the field of new energy

1、 Application in the field of energy storage

1. Supercapacitors: As electrode materials, their energy density can reach over 50Wh/kg, and their charging and discharging efficiency exceeds 95%, making them suitable for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems.

2. Fuel cell electrode material: Activated carbon, due to its high specific surface area and conductivity, can increase fuel cell power density by more than 30% and reduce catalyst usage.

3. Activated carbon electrode material: Activated carbon negative electrode material for super batteries is a new type of electrode material with activated carbon as the core component, mainly used in fields such as super lead carbon batteries, nickel carbon supercapacitors, and metal air batteries.

4. Metal air battery: It is a special type of fuel cell and a new generation of green battery. Its construction principle is the same as that of a dry battery, except that its depolarizing agent is taken from oxygen in the air.

5. Carbon energy storage materials: With the continuous improvement of market performance requirements for lithium-ion batteries, the requirements for negative electrode materials and active materials in lithium-ion batteries are constantly increasing. ‌

2、 Application of Activated Carbon in the Field of New Energy Vehicles

1. Hydrogen energy: Activated carbon is used as a carrier for hydrogen storage materials, and its high specific surface area characteristics can improve hydrogen storage efficiency. ‌

2. Fuel cell: As an electrode material, it can increase power density by more than 30%, reduce catalyst usage, and lower costs. ‌

Lithium sulfur battery: Carbon is used as a sulfur positive electrode carrier, which can suppress the shuttle effect of polysulfides and improve cycling stability to over 80%

The specific capacity reaches 1200mAh/g. ‌

4. New energy material modification: columnar activated carbon is used for modifying the negative electrode material of lithium batteries to improve cycle life; Modified carbon (such as loaded manganese oxide) can increase the adsorption efficiency of emerging pollutants such as microplastics by more than 50%. ‌

5. Natural gas purification: Activated carbon can remove impurities such as hydrogen sulfide (reduced to below 4ppm), organic sulfur compounds, and mercury from natural gas, ensuring the safety of pipeline transportation.

3、 Application of Activated Carbon in the Military Industry

1. Chemical protective equipment

2. Respiratory protection

3. Military communication

4. Shell adsorbent

Activated carbon is widely used in the military industry, not only playing an important role in chemical protective equipment, but also involving multiple fields such as respiratory protection, military communication, and shell adsorbents. With the advancement of technology, the application of activated carbon in the military industry will become more extensive and in-depth.

4、 Application of Activated Carbon in Aerospace Field

1. Respiratory exhaust gas treatment

The carbon dioxide and exhaust gas produced by astronauts' breathing are purified by activated carbon devices, which have adsorption properties to remove odor substances and harmful gases (such as formaldehyde), ensuring fresh air inside the cabin. ‌

2. Waste disposal system

Activated carbon is also used to treat odors generated by excrement and reduce bacterial growth through sterilization technology. ‌

3. Carbon dioxide purification

Purification of carbon dioxide through the combination of lithium hydroxide and activated carbon. The former absorbs water to produce lithium carbonate and water, while the latter adsorbs other pollutants.

Mainly used for purifying the air and removing odors. For example, the Shenzhou spacecraft uses activated carbon to adsorb odors and trace harmful gases (such as hydrocarbons) in the breathing exhaust gas inside the cabin, in order to improve the air quality inside the cabin.
