Wettability of Electrochemically Activated Carbon Cloth

Carbon cloths are widely used as conductive, flexible, portable and low-cost substrate in electrochemical applications. In this work, we have reported a one-step electrochemical activation method to improve wettability properties and electrochemical activity of the commercial hydrophobic Carbon cloth (CC). Electrochemically activated carbon cloth (ACC) was readily obtained by simply oxidizing CC in a mixed acid solution under a potential of 3 V for 300 seconds (ACC). Wettability of the ACC was investigated by contact angle method and the results were compared with the CC. This technique is suitable to produce a large scale of the activated carbon cloth
