Abstract
Mesophase pitch-based activated carbon fibers which are obtained by milling infusibilized mesophase pitch fibers, as they are or after carbonizing at a temperature of 350 to 1,000.degree. C., to an average particle diameter of 5 to 50 .mu.m and then activating in the presence of an alkali metal compound. The activated carbon fibers have a pore distribution suitable for forming a electric double layer and is excellent as the material for an electrode of an electric double layer capacitor. The electric double layer capacitor having the electrode using the activated carbon fiber exhibits high discharge capacity.
