Activated carbon is an extremely porous carbon with a massive internal surface area. Its most significant role is as the positive electrode material in Lithium-Ion Capacitors (LICs). In LICs activated carbon stores energy electrostatically by rapidly adsorbing and releasing ions at the carbon surface (electric double-layer capacitance), allowing for rapid power delivery and extremely long cycle life.
In standard Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIBs), it acts as an auxiliary material. Brought into small fractions at electrodes, activated carbon helps in conductivity enhancement and in part creates a conductive network within the electrode structure. It may also serve to absorb excess electrolyte.
The major properties that make it favorable are the totally porous and porous structures (providing the surface area), good electrical conduction, and stability in organic battery electrolytes.
