If comprise columnar structures, then in material with carbon element, the material such as oxygen, hydrogen or water easily spreads, and can carry out with the action of high electric current.In general cast carbon fiber, Graphene face walks abreast and symmetrical substantially relative to axis of a cylinder, but the Graphene face 11 of the carbon fiber of execution mode tilts relative to axis of a cylinder.Graphene face relative to axis of a cylinder direction 12 with more than 5 degree 80 degree to have a down dip, there is a large amount of active graphene edge in the end of columnar structures 10, and the contact area each other in Graphene face 11 becomes large, column structure can stably keep.If tilt to be greater than 80 degree, then Graphene contact area diminishes, the unstable and frangibility of column structure.In addition, if tilt to be less than 5 degree, then active graphene edge reduces.Be more preferably more than 10 degree less than 60 degree.
The Graphene face 11 of post side such as can be observed by following method particularly relative to the inclination in axis of a cylinder direction 12.Utilize transmission electron microscope (TEM:Transmission Electron Microscope) to amplify 4,000,000 times, the mode of shining upon the angle that can confirm Graphene face 11 at central part with axis of a cylinder direction 12 is taken.In the TEM image of column structure, never the region of carbon compound is to the surface of the carbon compound of column and then to inner, little by little dark-coloured change weighs, even if therefore the graphene-structured of column most surface is mixed and disorderly, as shown in Figure 10 ~ Figure 12, also can according to deep or light change from photographic images specific go out axis of a cylinder direction 12.In addition, from the image confirming axis of a cylinder direction of more low range, and can compare with the axis of a cylinder direction obtained according to above-mentioned deep or light change, confirm.At this, the layer of the grid of coincidence 10 × 10 pieces on the image taken the amplification concept map of the material with carbon element as Fig. 2, the Graphene face 11 that mensuration overlaps with the intersection point of graticule or distance intersection point is nearest and the angle in axis of a cylinder direction 12.Also, after the photographic images of TEM can being converted as the concept map of Fig. 2, the angle of Graphene face 11 relative to axis of a cylinder direction 12 is measured.To there is from figure upper right in fig. 2 towards lower-left with the axis of a cylinder direction 12 that thick line represents, represent Graphene face 11 with fine rule.And, the Graphene face 11 of the goniometry object of a part is represented in fig. 2 with thick line.The mensuration of angle is carried out at the position that preferably can not identify at the difference measured, Graphene.In addition, as the concept map of Fig. 1, camera site preferably by carbon fiber trisection along its length, in the central authorities in the region of this trisection.At this moment, the central point of each shooting area preferably can taken with the position that straight line connects.In the angle of the Graphene face 11 of each area test relative to axis of a cylinder direction 12, more than at least 5% less than 95%, preferably meet more than 5 degree less than 80 degree, the more preferably scope of more than 10 degree less than 60 degree.If the Graphene face 11 meeting above-mentioned angular range is very few, then Graphene reduce and not preferred.Therefore, the Graphene face 11 more preferably meeting above-mentioned angular range is more than 40%.In addition, if the Graphene face 11 meeting above-mentioned angular range is too much, then the stability of the column structure of carbon fiber likely reduces and not preferred.Therefore, the Graphene face 11 more preferably meeting above-mentioned angular range is less than 90%.
The diameter preferably 30 ~ 500nm of the columnar structures 10 of the material with carbon element of present embodiment.If be less than 30nm, then hinder the diffusion carrying out the material reacted using material with carbon element as catalyst.If be greater than 500nm, then active site diminishes.Be more preferably 100nm ~ 300nm.The length in the axis of a cylinder direction 12 of material with carbon element preferably comprises more than 1 μm less than 10 μm.
From the viewpoint of the increase active site of catalyst, the diffusivity excellence of material, comprise the open-ended situation of the columnar structures 10 of present embodiment, there is the situation of recess preferred end.The recess of columnar structures 10 can be confirmed by TEM image.
In addition, the carbon compound 11 of the columnar structures 10 of preferred implementation has closely overlapping structure.So-called closely overlapping laminated arrangement, columnar structures 11 or carbon fiber are being amplified in the TEM image of 4,000,000 times, the region in Graphene face 11 can confirmed, area shared by Graphene face 11 is more than 50%, to have in Graphene face 11 more than 50% part overlapping with other Graphene face 11.If Graphene is closely overlapping state, then there is constitutionally stable advantage.
