Benefits of technology

[0008]The present inventors have made earnest studies to achieve the object described above and as a result found that the carbonization yield of a carbon material precursor containing an acrylamide-based polymer is improved by adding to the acrylamide-based polymer at least one addition component selected from the group consisting of acids and salts thereof, which led to the completion of the present invention.
[0011]Note that it is not necessarily certain why the carbon material precursor of the present invention has a high carbonization yield. The present inventors have surmised as follows. Specifically, it is presumed that by heating (in particular, thermally-stabilizing) the carbon material precursor of the present invention, an acid or a salt thereof which is the addition component functions as a catalyst for the dehydration reaction of the acrylamide-based polymer and the structure of the acrylamide-based polymer transforms to a highly heat-resistant structure, enhancing the carbonization yield of the carbon material precursor.
[0012]The present invention makes it possible to obtain a carbon material precursor which contains an acrylamide-based polymer and has a high carbonization yield. In addition, use of such a carbon material precursor of the present invention makes it possible to safely produce a carbon material at a low cost.

Problems solved by technology

However, there has been a problem that a carbon material precursor prepared using polyacrylamide has a low carbonization yield because the mass of such carbon material precursor decreases to only about 20% when heated to 500° C.

synthetic example 1

[0032]Dissolved into 190 ml of water was 8.52 g (120 mmol) of acrylamide (manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd. and for electrophoresis). After that, 366 mg (1.20 mmol) of 4,4′-azobis(4-cyanovaleric acid) was added as a polymerization initiator, followed by radical polymerization for 3 hours at 70° C. The obtained aqueous solution was introduced into methanol, followed by precipitation of polyacrylamide. Polyacrylamide was collected and subjected to vacuum drying.

example 1

[0033]Polyacrylamide obtained in Synthetic Example 1 was dissolved into water so as to be a concentration of 10% by mass. Phosphoric acid was added to the obtained polyacrylamide aqueous solution so that the content of phosphoric acid was 2% by mass relative to 100% by mass of carbon material precursor. Freeze drying was performed using the obtained phosphoric acid-containing polyacrylamide aqueous solution. As a result, a carbon material precursor containing polyacrylamide and phosphoric acid was obtained.

example 2

[0034]A carbon material precursor was obtained in the same manner as that in Example 1 except that diammonium hydrogen phosphate was used instead of the phosphoric acid. Note that the content of diammonium hydrogen phosphate was 2% by mass relative to 100% by mass of carbon material precursor.

Abstract

A carbon material precursor comprises an acrylamide-based polymer and at least one addition component selected from the group consisting of acids and salts thereof; and a method for producing a carbon material comprises thermally-stabilizing the carbon material precursor and then carbonizing the carbon material precursor.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a carbon material precursor and a method for producing a carbon material using the same.[0003]Related Background Art[0004]Heretofore, as a method for producing carbon fibers, which are a type of carbon material, a method including: thermally-stabilizing a carbon fiber precursor obtained by spinning polyacrylonitrile; and then carbonizing the carbon fiber precursor has been mainly employed (for example, Japanese Examined Patent Application Publication No. Sho 37-4405 (Patent Literature 1), and Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication Nos. 2015-74844 (Patent Literature 2), 2016-40419 (Patent Literature 3), and 2016-113726 (Patent Literature 4)). There has been a problem that the producing cost of carbon fibers is high because polyacrylonitrile used in this method is poorly soluble in inexpensive general-purpose solvents and hence it is necessary to use expensive solvents such as dim...
