Claim Text:
1. A vapor-phase-grown porous carbon material comprising edges of carbon hexagonal planes on an outer surface thereof, having a total porosity of 40% or more, and having an R value (a peak intensity ratio represented by I1360/I1580) measured by a laser Raman spectroscopy of less than 0.2, wherein the carbon material has a structure having a portion comprising a spherical form or an elliptical form, wherein substantially whole outer surface of the carbon material is composed of edges of carbon hexagonal planes, wherein the carbon hexagonal planes are vapor-phase-grown radially and are stacked, and thicknesses of the carbon hexagonal planes in the stacking direction are within the range of 0.001 to 0.2 microns.
