Abstract
An activated carbon/polyacene composite is disclosed. The composite contains activated carbon powder or fiber and having a selected molar ratio range of hydrogen atoms [H] to carbon atoms [C] of 0.01.ltoreq.[H]/[C].ltoreq.0.2. It provides two or more times the capacitance per unit volume, and enables reduction of the equivalent series resistance of an electric double-layer capacitor without compression. It therefore is a suitable composite for use as polarizable electrodes for electric double-layer capacitors. The composite can be made by mixing activated carbon powder or fiber and a thermosetting resin powder such as phenolin resin powder, and subjecting the mixture to heat treatment in a nonoxidizing atmosphere at temperatures between 600.degree. and 1000.degree. C. which is insufficient to reach full carbonization of the thermosetting resin.
