About Toyo Tanso.

The general image of electric vehicles is that they are earth-friendly, inexpensive to run, and have high acceleration performance, but do they have any disadvantages?

Depending on the usage environment and region, there are also disadvantages such as the time it takes to recharge the battery, the hassle of finding a place to recharge the battery, the decline in battery level and performance, and the high price of the vehicle, not forgetting how the electricity is generated in the first place.

In addition, the short driving range compared to conventional gasoline-powered vehicles is a major challenge for the future.

Of course, if we only look at the challenges and do nothing, there will be no innovation.

Here is one of the solutions Toyo Tanso can provide.

　　　　　　　　　The porous carbon CNovel® developed by Toyo Tanso Co.

As fuel cells become more widely used, it is essential to use catalysts efficiently to achieve higher performance, higher durability , and cost reductions.

CNovel® is a mesoporous carbon with inter-connected mesopores, which is a catalyst support with a completely different structure from conventional carbon materials.

It is a new carbon material that has been considered difficult to obtain as an industrial material. It is expected to play an active role in a variety of applications.

In terms of fuel cells, Porous carbon CNovel® helps increase fuel cell output, reduce the amount of platinum used. Furthermore, it boosts catalyst life by nearly double and contributes to system cost reduction. 

Porous carbon CNovel® is being considered at the implementation level in next-generation batteries such as all-solid batteries and air batteries, and it is expected to contribute to solving issues such as decarbonization as a material for future environmentally friendly devices.

Porous carbon CNovel® has a unique inter-connected pore structure of mesopores (2 to 50 nm pores) that are connected to each other to form a three-dimensional network. This structure allows Porous carbon CNovel® to exhibit functional expressions and improvements that were not possible with other materials.

The unique structure also allows for Porous carbon CNovel® to support catalyst particles inside the pores and to use these particles more effectively. The superior catalyst properties thanks to CNovel® also help increase fuel cell output and help reduce the amount of platinum used.
