Electrochemical characteristics of polyparaphenylene-based carbon
Polyparaphenylene (PPP)-based carbon is expected for a high-performance material of a negative electrode of lithium (Li) ion secondary battery, but the details of relationship between characteristics and heat treatment have not been known. In this report, electrochemical and electrical properties of heat-treated PPP-based carbon powder were investigated and the possibility of the use as the negative electrode of Li ion secondary batteries was shown.
