A microreactor containing a plurality of introduction channelsandfor introducing a plurality of liquids, a merging sectionfor merging the plurality of introduction channelsand, and a reaction channellocated on a downstream side of the merging section, characterized in that a flow control sectionis located on a downstream side of the merging sectionand an upstream side of the reaction channel, and the flow control sectioncontains in a channelthereof a movable particle. According to the constitution, such a microreactor can be provided that the flow state in the reaction channelis controlled to realize a flow state with good reproducibility.

Flow control device, microreactor and use thereof

It is acknowledged that an electric double layer capacitor is markedly superior in power density and cycle characteristics to a secondary battery. However, a higher energy density is required to apply it to a power supply of hybrid vehicle, electric vehicle or the like. The present inventors have found that a carbonaceous material containing copper or a compound of copper exhibits excellent characteristics as an electrode material for capacitor and can realize a capacitor having a large capacity. In the electrode material and the capacitor, copper or a compound of copper exists in the amount of 0.8 to 30 parts by weight calculated on the metal basis based on 100 parts by weight of the carbonaceous material, particularly preferably.

Electrode material and capacitor

Disclosed are electrode materials that exhibit very sharp pore size distribution within the range of mesopores and include pores having a pore diameter within a range of X&plusmn;&agr; nm (3.0&lE;X<10, &agr;&equals;1.0; range of pore size distribution) of which volume accounts for 15% or more of the total volume of mesopores having a pore diameter within a range from 2.0 to 50 nm, and are suited for use in electric double layer capacitor, battery or the like of large capacitance and discharge of large current. These electrode materials are obtained by adding at least one transition metal or at least one transition metal compound to a carbon material or a carbon material precursor, and subjecting to a heat treatment at a temperature of 600&deg; C. or higher.

Electrode material and method for producing the same

A granular active carbon for natural-gas occlusion is disclosed which can occlude natural gas at a relatively low pressure and has a high natural-gas occlusion capacity. The granular active carbon for natural-gas occlusion has first and second pores for the occlusion of constituent gas molecules of natural gas. The first pores each has a diameter d,, satisfying 2d<d,&lE;2.5d, while the second pores each has a diameter d,satisfying 5d<d,&lE;6d, wherein d is the diameter of the constituent gas molecules.
