More Information
Summary:An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a gel containing a nano-carbon material, which allows the gelling medium used to be selected from a wide range of substances, is applicable to other nano-carbon materials in addition to carbon nanotubes, and can be implemented in an extremely simple manner. A method for producing a gel containing a nano-carbon material of the present invention as a means for achieving the object is characterized in that a nano-carbon material is stir-mixed with a gelling medium that satisfies the following conditions (but is not an ionic liquid), the gelling medium being in a liquid or molten state: (1) the gelling medium is in a liquid state at ambient temperature or melts when heated; and (2) the gelling medium contains, in the molecule, two or more rings of at least one kind selected from optionally substituted aromatic hydrocarbon monocyclic ring and optionally substituted aromatic heteromonocyclic ring.
