Description
Activated Carbon (C) Nanopowder / Nanoparticles
Purity: 95% | Particle Size: 90–100 nm | Specific Surface Area: 400 m²/g
Activated Carbon Nanopowder (also known as porous carbon or activated charcoal) is an ultra-fine, high-surface-area carbon material derived from natural charcoal. With particle sizes in the 90–100 nm range and a specific surface area of 400 m²/g, this nanomaterial offers exceptional adsorption capacity, porosity, and chemical reactivity—making it an ideal candidate for applications in filtration, catalysis, energy storage, and advanced composites.
Its nanostructured form provides a unique balance of high surface area, well-distributed pore volume, and electrical conductivity, making it useful in both physical adsorption and electrochemical processes. The material is spherical, black in color, pH-neutral to slightly basic, and easily dispersible in a variety of solvents.
