ABSTRACT: In recent years, application of carbon-based nano material to electrode
material has been paid attention, however, due to its higher cost, it would be
difficult to put it into practical use. Then, we have proposed to make nano
carbon fiber with lower production cost. The purpose of our research was, to apply
our nano carbon fiber to electrical double-layer capacitor electrode. We used
cotton candy method to make nano fiber, and applied microwave heating for
carbonization. By applying nano carbon fiber to electrical double-layer
capacitor electrode, we got results that thicker electrode containing nano
carbon fiber leads to lower resistance value, compared with electrode without
containing nano carbon fiber. From this result, it was indicated that by
containing nano carbon fiber, the electric bypass was formed in the electrode.
