The fibrous carbon of the present invention can be produced as follows. A vapor phase growth apparatus shown in FIG. 1 is used. Hydrocarbons such as benzene, naphthalene, and propylene can be used as the source gas. Adjust the temperature of oil bath 1 to vaporize raw material gas 2.
It is mixed with an inert carrier gas such as H 2 , N 2 , Ar, etc., and the partial pressure of the raw material gas is adjusted to a range of 0.5 to 500 mmHg. 1100~3000 of the mixed gas obtained in this way
It is led to an electric furnace 3 maintained at ℃. A flat or cylindrical substrate [FIG. 2 A (5) and B (5')] made of a carbon material containing volatile hydrocarbons, such as glassy carbon, is placed in the electric furnace. Carbon atoms generated by the decomposition of the raw material gas form fibrous carbon that grows densely on the substrate. Grassy carbon used in the present invention can be obtained by firing a thermosetting resin such as furfuryl alcohol resin, phenol formaldehyde resin, acetone/furfural resin, or furfuryl alcohol/phenol cocondensation resin. At this time, it is presumed that the unique form of the present invention is formed by the interaction between the hydrocarbon gas evaporated from the substrate and the carbon atoms generated by decomposition of the source gas. When the temperature of the electric furnace is changed, there is no essential change in the shape of the circumference, but the following changes in the shape of the core are observed. That is, when the temperature of the electric furnace is set to 1100 to 1300°C, a core shaped like a stack of flat truncated cone-like containers is obtained, and when the temperature is set to 1300 to 3000°C, a core shaped like a stacked slender truncated conical container is obtained. obtained from.
The core is cylindrical and has a diameter of 50 to 300 Å.
The fibrous carbon thus obtained can be treated at a temperature in the range of 2,000 to 3,500°C, which is higher than the temperature during production, to form fibrous graphite in which microcrystals have grown. The fibrous carbon referred to in the present invention includes fibrous graphite in which such microcrystals have grown.
