Structure and EDLC applications of PVDC based carbons as a function of carbonization time

Poly-vinylidenechloride (PVDC) based carbon has been used as an electrode material for electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) due to novel characteristics, which inherited from the pristine PVDC. Electrochemical and morphological properties of three PVDC based carbon with different retention time from 60 min to 180 min were characterized by a conventional gas adsorption method and the image analysis using transmittance electron microscopy (TEM).
