Abstract
It is considered that the total performances of porous carbon materials have been appraised almost entirely by the factors of specific surface area and pore-size and its distribution, while little attention has been paid on the problems focused among the interface chemistry and physico-chemical nature of the surface of carbon materials. The procedures for the modification of the various kind of carbons were described and it was shown that the standardization of the formed functional groups and pore structure of carbons. In this paper, quantitatively the effect of functional groups of activated carbon electrodes on electric double layer and removal of various electrolytes from aqueous solution and/or recycling operation characteristics were reported as its application.
