Technical field
The present invention relates to comprise the electro-conductive material of (intrinsic) conductive polymers and carbon material, their manufacture method and the purposes in the large vol double-layer capacitor that various electronicss, power supply etc. use.
Background technology
Electro-conductive material is known and with many different forms with use to use.Electro-conductive material based on carbon can use with many different physics and chemical form, form and composition.Pure or pure substantially carbon can be with form utilizations such as carbon black (it mainly also comprises the impurity based on oxygen), graphite (pure C), carbon nanotube and soccerballenes.Another group electro-conductive material is (intrinsic) conductive polymers, has been found that some Preliminary Applications.
These two groups of electro-conductive materials have at least a general character, electroconductibility.For one group or another group material, other character can be proprietary, or can change widely in the group separately.For example, to tens microns scope, and the granularity of soccerballene is in the scope of dust several for the granularity of graphite.The specific surface area of carbon black and carbon nanotube shows paramount about 1000m that reaches
2The high value of/g, and graphite at several m
2In the scope of/g.Polyaniline is as one of representative of conductive polymers, its characteristics are rich redox chemistry, PEDOT (polyethylene dioxythiophene) also claims PEDT, have the redox chemistry of appropriateness or bad reproducibility, and graphite or carbon black does not present the reversible redox chemistry.
In the past, tested the combination of conductive polymers such as polyaniline, polyethylene dioxythiophene, polypyrrole or their derivative and carbonaceous material (carbon black, graphite, carbon nanotube and soccerballene).Though the simple mixtures of described material does not present any significant or reproducible advantage, therefore do not find any commerce or The Application of Technology, but the chemical process that is used for conductive polymers and carbon black or conductive polymers and carbon nanotube combination studied widely.For example, the carbon black that Eeonyx company provides polymerization from the teeth outwards that polyaniline is arranged is as development product on the market (" Eeonomer "), referring to G.Du, A.Epstein, K.Reimer is in American Physical Society's meeting in March, 1996, the M23 of branch, the report among the report M 23.09.Supplier of laboratory chemicals Aldrich has announced the mixture that this chemical mode is produced in their catalogue.Yet this product does not present attracting advantage.
Carbon black/polyaniline mixture can present the zone that one of zone of attracting technological merit can be so-called ' ultracapacitor ', also so-called ' bilayer ' or ' redox electrical condenser '.This zone provides the publication of maximum quantity, has mixed carbon and conductive polymers or the carbon and the conductive polymers of the form of mixture are provided in these publications.
For this reason, mainly used two kinds of combination processes:
-by one day the simple mixed carbon black of ball milling and the powder (U.S. Patent Application Publication NO.2002/0114128) of polyaniline, or otherwise as at Journal of Power Sourees 11,2003,185-190 and Journal of the Electrochemical Society, 148,10,2001, the A1130-A1134 disclosed method is wherein mixed polyaniline or polythiofuran derivative with carbon black powder.Yet the blended concrete grammar is not open.
-the chemistry or the electrochemical polymerization of different conductive polymerss on carbon blacksurface.
Back one method was studied in patent and scientific literature widely.European patent application EP 1 329 918 has been reported the cathode composite of carbon and polyaniline or polypyrrole, wherein electrochemical polymerization conductive polymers.Anode is made by lead.Content the best of finding conductive polymers is 10-15 weight %.Comprise combination of electrodes by the electrical condenser that uses this material manufacturing, described combination of electrodes comprises non-polarizable anode and polarizable negative electrode, and wherein non-polarizable anode is made by lead.
U.S. Patent application 2002/0089807 discloses the intrinsic conducting polymer by chemistry or electrochemical method direct polymerization on the carbon black materials of high hole.Journal of Applied Electrochemistry 33,465-473,2003 disclose the electrochemical polymerization of the polyaniline on the carbon aerogels that is generated by polyacrylonitrile.The sort of method and Journal of Power Sources 117,273-282,2003 and lit.10, Carbon 41,2865-2871, the electrochemical polymerization of 2003 disclosed polyanilines on active porous carbon is similar.At Conference Proceedings ofANTEC ' 98, VoL 2,1197ff, and in 1998, the author has reported the polymerization of polyethylene dioxythiophene on the high surface area film of the carbon of platinum collector electrode carrier.In same publication, reported on congener carbon film by hexafluoro-aqueous isopropanol casting polyaniline.
Electrochimica Acta Vol.41, No.1,21-26,1996 disclose the various redox ultracapacitors of symmetry or asymmetric electrode structure, wherein use and on base material polymerization as the various conductive polymerss of polypyrrole or polythiofuran derivative, be similar at United States Patent (USP) 5,527, the method of using in 640,1996 is wherein passed through electrochemical method polymerization polythiofuran derivative on based on the material of carbon.
As explained above, the mixture for preparing carbon black/conductive polymers usually is used for so-called " ultracapacitor ".This electrical condenser also is commonly referred to " double layer capacitor ", " electrochemistry " or " double-layer capacitor " or " redox electrical condenser " and is called " pseudo-capacity electrical condenser (pseudo-capacity capacitor) " sometimes.
Usually, double layer capacitor is a kind of energy device, wherein two electrodes are arranged opposite to each other, between described two electrodes, arrange spacer, described two electrodes are one of at least by using porous carbonaceous material coating collecting board to obtain, and described porous carbonaceous material has about 100 and 1000m collecting board
2Between/the g and above high-specific surface area.Existing under the electrolyte solution situation, on electrode, apply voltage, at least one electrode, to generate electrical double layer and therefrom to obtain energy.As U.S. Patent No. 5,150, disclosed in 283 specification sheetss and the accompanying drawing, a kind ofly use porous carbonaceous material to reel for electrical double layer electrode pair (each electrode all comprises the polarizable electrode that is connected to collecting board) wherein and be included in type and the laminated button-type of electrical double layer electrode pair in the container as the textural classification of the double layer capacitor of electrode materials.
Convoluted have certain structure, is used to release energy in this structure to the spongy lead of outside be connected to the collecting board of for example being made up of the etching aluminium foil of 20 to 50 μ m thickness.The paste coating aluminium foil that use is made up of powdered mixture to be forming conductive layer, and described paste prepares by mixed active carbon powder and required tackiness agent and required conductive agent.The polarizable electrode of being made up of the active carbon layer that mainly is made of gac is formed on the conductive layer, to obtain the electrical double layer electrode, this electrical double layer electrode pair is arranged opposite to each other, and arranges spacer and coiling therein.
Scheme as an alternative under vacuum, is used to comprise the electrolytical electrolytic solution that is dissolved in wherein and flood the polarizable electrode of being made up of active carbon layer and spacer fully, assembles the electrical double layer electrode by this method.Electrode and spacer are inserted in the housing of being made by aluminium etc. and by using the opening portion of package encapsulation aluminum enclosure.Usually, this is assembled into round tube type.
On the other hand, button-type has a fixed structure, and the polarizable electrode of being made up of active carbon layer in this structure is formed on the discoidal valve metal sheet, to obtain the electrical double layer electrode.This electrical double layer electrode pair is arranged opposite to each other, and arranges insulating spacer therein, this assembling is placed in the metal vessel of being made up of two members.These two electrical double layer electrodes have the discoidal matrix band (or paper tinsel) of valve metal, be connected respectively to the bottom of metal vessel and the inboard of top cover portion, bottom and top cover portion are interconnected, circumference edge portion at them uses the insulation lip ring to seal simultaneously, and in container, fill nonaqueous electrolytic solution, this electrolytic solution offers electrical double layer electrode and spacer fully.As nonaqueous electrolytic solution, for example, use by adding the solution that the Tetrafluoroboric acid Tetrylammonium prepares to the propylene carbonate.
The double layer capacitor of several other structures or redox electrical condenser (so-called " ultracapacitor ") are arranged using, do not do detailed description at this.
The large vol electrochemical capacitor has been proposed, wherein use the combination of electrochemical activity inorganic substance or organic (intrinsic) conductive polymers and above-mentioned porous carbonaceous materials or replace above-mentioned porous carbonaceous materials as electrode materials, and wherein with the common electrical double layer capacitor that uses above-mentioned porous carbonaceous material in the same method use current condenser based on electrical double layer formation, and, use simultaneously based on the current condenser of following the Eo+ of oxidation-reduction reaction on two electrodes, thereby realize large vol.
For example, use electrochemical capacitor (the Physics Letters of ruthenium oxide as electrode active material, 26A, p.209 (1968)) be evaluated as the peak performance electrochemical capacitor of present known use inorganic oxide, and confirmed to have the energy density of 8.3Wh/kg and the output density of 30kW/kg.
In recent years, studied and used the electrical condenser (J.Power Sources, vol.29, p.355 (1990)) of other inorganic oxide mixture system as electrode materials.
And, studied the electrochemical capacitor of (intrinsic) conductive polymers of the redox characteristic that utilizes the Pi-conjugated systems organic substance that is different from above inorganic, metal oxide in recent years energetically as electrode materials.
The electrochemical capacitor that uses conductive polymers has been studied by many institutes, as for characteristic, report is for example arranged, use polypyrrole to produce the capacity of 86C/g and the energy density of 11Wh/kg as electrode materials, use the mixture of polypyrrole and Polythiophene to produce the capacity of 120C/g and the energy density of 27Wh/kg, and use poly--3-(4-fluorophenyl) thiophene to produce the capacity of 52C/g and the energy density (J.Power Sources, vol.47, p.89 (1994)) of 39Wh/kg.
Except the above, be used for the type of large value capacitor interlayer in utilization, usually, laminate structure material (TiS
2, MoS
2, CoO
2, V
6O
13) as electrode materials.In this case, most cases uses asymmetric electrode to come assembling device (day translation No.2002-525864, the 2002-542582 of PCT patent).
In addition, compare as the traditional capacitor of electrode materials with only using porous carbonaceous material, the matrix material that is prepared by above various electrode materialss has been be evaluated as the capacity that reaches much higher in some cases.
[the problem to be solved in the present invention]
Although further investigate, the mixture of carbonaceous material and (intrinsic) conductive polymers also is not used in industrial use.Find that its reason mainly is that uniformity of mixture difference and the performance reproducibility that causes owing to employed manufacture method (as mentioned above) are poor on the nano level yardstick.
On the other hand, it is restricted that above-mentioned use porous carbonaceous material is used for the capacity of conventional double-layer capacitor of polarizable electrode, though they have good rapid charge discharge characteristic.For example, open No.2003-338437 describes as Japanese Patent, uses the gac (surface-area: 650m that obtains by the porous carbonaceous material activation
2/ electrical condenser g) has the electrostatic capacity of 18.3F/g, and this is lower than electrochemical capacitor.
As for the relation between the specific surface area of electrostatic capacity and porous carbonaceous material, when specific surface area arrives 2600m 1500
2In the time of in the scope of/g, obtain the electrostatic capacity of about 22F/cc, but, when specific surface area during greater than this scope, capacity no longer increases, but is tending towards reducing (" Electrical Double Layer Capacitors and Electric PowerStorage Systems ", The Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun, Ltd., p.9).
Except the above, Japanese Patent open Nos.2003-217982,2003-81624,2002-373835 etc. disclose the more examples that use the electrode materials of porous carbonaceous material, but compare with electrochemical capacitor, every kind of example all has lower capacity, and this especially becomes problem in application such as automobile.
In addition, when only using porous carbonaceous material to be used for electrode, need to add acetylene black etc. to the tackiness agent to improve specific conductivity, still, even so add, interface resistance is also very high, this constitutes serious problem.
On the other hand, the electrochemical capacitor of conducting metal oxide is as mentioned above used in existence.Compare with the situation of using above porous carbonaceous material, though this electrochemical capacitor has very high capacity, be based on production cost, this electrochemical capacitor is disadvantageous, because the metal of metal oxide belongs to precious metal usually.For example, in nineteen ninety-five the 5th international symposium holding of Florida, US about double layer capacitor and similar energy storage device, reported and used ruthenium oxide or indium oxide film, in water-based system, had the electrostatic capacity of 160F/cc as the pseudo-capacity electrical condenser of electrode materials.
In addition, compare, use conducting polymer materials to demonstrate much higher capacity usually, but their characteristic can change according to the method that forms electrode as the electrochemical capacitor of electrode materials with the electrical condenser that uses above porous carbonaceous material.For example, described in the flat 6-104141 peace of the open No. of Japanese Patent 6-104142, wherein conductive polymers is deposited on the collecting board by the electrolytic polymerization method, electrical condenser has the internal resistance of capacity and 13.9 Ω of 3.7F, forms the serious problems that electrode generally includes relevant its productive rate by the electrolytic polymerization method.
Therefore, many suggestions have been proposed to use the combination of carbonaceous material (mainly being carbon black) and intrinsic conducting polymer.As mentioned above, only two kinds of methods have been used to prepare this mixture--the dried blend method (by ball milling etc.) of powder and polymerization conductive polymers in the presence of sooty.
By chemical oxidising polymerisation compositing conducting polymkeric substance and the method for preparing matrix material by conductive polymers and other electroconductibility inorganic materials is the obviously relative simple technology that is used to form electrode, discloses many examples of this technology in recent years.Yet its reproducibility is poor, and therefore, this mixture does not have practical use.Equally, when attempting to enlarge in proportion and developing reproducible method, the problem that need overcome is huge.
For example, the open No.2002-265598 of Japanese Patent discloses and has used the matrix material of organic conductive oligopolymer and inorganic materials as electrode materials.Yet in this case, expectability organic conductive oligopolymer does not have high conductivity, so inorganic materials requires to have very high specific conductivity so that reduce internal resistance.
In addition, as the similar situation of using conducting polymer materials, a kind of in porous carbonaceous material the method (Japanese Patent open No.2001-210557) of polymerization conductive polymers can not produce conductive polymers with high conductivity, but caused the increase of electrical condenser internal resistance.
As mentioned above, the example of the electrical condenser of known so far a large amount of use electrochemical activity conductive polymers or inorganic oxide.Yet the use of inorganic materials causes the problem relevant for production cost, and the use of conductive polymers comprises that specific conductivity control, granularity are controlled and the difficulty of reproducibility, causes electrical condenser can not show enough performances.
Therefore the objective of the invention is to create a kind of carbon material/conductive polymers mixture, it can make and show good performance number with reproducible mode, during in particular for the manufacturing of ultracapacitor.

For example, capacity can be from greater than 50 to being far longer than 200F/g, and for example, power density can be from about 1,000 to several 1,000W/kg, for example, energy density from about 10 to being far longer than 100WH/kg.
Shown in Fig. 6 and Figure 11 (Ragon figure), this feature is arranged so that DLC according to the present invention has exceeded present power and the accessible scope of energy density, is higher than DLC (ultracapacitor) significantly and even is higher than the lithium ion battery of present prior art.
Some reasons of this surprised effect may be that (a) no longer needs tackiness agent or film for additive (in order to form the bonded-electrode material layer on the metal collector surface), (b) lower internal resistance and (c) the additional possibility of redox reaction, all these have increased electrolytical wetting and energy density (electric charge/weight) on accessible surface (can be used for electric charge carrier and their exchange), the electrode materials together, but do not plan to explain by these and limit.
