Abstract

The present invention provides a carbon material composition excellent in the dispersibility of a fibrous carbon material and capable of reducing electrode resistance. Provided is a carbon material composition containing: a fibrous carbon material; a water-based solvent; and a polyvinyl acetal resin, the polyvinyl acetal resin having an acetal group content of 40.0 mol % or less and a blockiness of hydrophobic groups measured by NMR of 0.35 or greater and 0.80 or less.

Claims (12)

1. A carbon material composition comprising:

a fibrous carbon material;

a water-based solvent; and

a polyvinyl acetal resin,

the polyvinyl acetal resin having an acetal group content of 40.0 mol % or less and a blockiness of hydrophobic groups measured by NMR of 0.35 or greater and 0.80 or less.

2. The carbon material composition according to claim 1 ,

wherein the polyvinyl acetal resin is an acetalized product of a polyvinyl alcohol resin having a degree of saponification of 70.0 mol % or greater and 99.9 mol % or less.

3. The carbon material composition according to claim 1 ,

wherein the polyvinyl acetal resin has an average degree of polymerization of 200 or greater and 4,000 or less.

4. The carbon material composition according to claim 1 ,

wherein the polyvinyl acetal resin has an acetal group content of 5.0 mol % or more.

5. The carbon material composition according to claim 1 , which has a ratio of (A) an amount of the polyvinyl acetal resin to (B) an average fiber diameter of the fibrous carbon material divided by (C) an amount of the fibrous carbon material (A:B/C) of 0.01 or greater and 7.00 or less.
