Description

本発明は、カーボンナノチューブを用いた電極に関するものである。本発明による電極は、例えば、大容量の電気を蓄えることが可能な電気二重層キャパシタの素子として用いることができる。本発明はまたカーボンナノチューブを用いた電極の製造方法にも関する。   The present invention relates to an electrode using carbon nanotubes. The electrode according to the present invention can be used, for example, as an element of an electric double layer capacitor capable of storing a large amount of electricity. The present invention also relates to a method for producing an electrode using carbon nanotubes.

一般に、電気化学反応を利用した素子として、電池や電気二重層キャバシタといった素子が知られており、さまざまなタイプの電池やキャパシタが電子機器・電気自動車等、さまざまな用途に利用されている。最近は、ノートパソコン等の携帯端末や携帯電話等の機器の小型化が進み、これらに用いる電池やキャパシタも小型で大容量のものが望まれている。このため、リチウム二次電池や電気二重層キャパシタ等の電極のシート構造化や積層化等、さまざまな研究開発がされている。   In general, elements such as batteries and electric double layer capacitors are known as elements utilizing electrochemical reactions, and various types of batteries and capacitors are used in various applications such as electronic devices and electric vehicles. Recently, downsizing of devices such as notebook personal computers and mobile terminals and mobile phones has progressed, and batteries and capacitors used for these devices are desired to be small and have a large capacity. For this reason, various research and developments such as sheet structure and lamination of electrodes such as lithium secondary batteries and electric double layer capacitors have been conducted.

電池やキャパシタの大容量化については、電池やキャパシタの電極材料として、従来は、比表面積の高い活性炭が主として用いられてきたが、近年、活性炭より単位面積あたりの蓄電容量の高い電極材料としてカーボンナノチューブが注目され、鋭意研究開発がなされている。   For increasing the capacity of batteries and capacitors, activated carbon having a high specific surface area has been mainly used as an electrode material for batteries and capacitors, but in recent years, carbon has been used as an electrode material having a higher storage capacity per unit area than activated carbon. Nanotubes have been attracting attention and earnest research and development.

カーボンナノチューブを用いた電極の製造方法は、具体的には、カーボンナノチューブと樹脂の粉末を混合し、この混合物を所定圧力でペレット化する方法や、カーボンナノチューブと活性炭に樹脂を所定量混合し、この混合物をペースト化する方法がある。一般に、こうして得られた電極からなるキャパシタは、カーボンナノチューブへの活性炭等の添加により、大きい蓄電容量を有するようになる。   Specifically, the method of manufacturing an electrode using carbon nanotubes is a method of mixing carbon nanotubes and resin powder, pelletizing the mixture at a predetermined pressure, or mixing a predetermined amount of resin with carbon nanotubes and activated carbon, There is a method of pasting this mixture. In general, a capacitor composed of the electrode thus obtained has a large storage capacity by adding activated carbon or the like to the carbon nanotube.

また、上記のようなペレット化やペースト化をせず、垂直に配向させたカーボンナノチューブを用いた電極を製造する方法もある。この方法は、ペレット化やペースト化の工程を省くことができるとともに、キャパシタの充放電の際にイオンの出入りにより電極が膨張収縮して劣化するのを防ぎ、樹脂含有により内部抵抗が増加するのを防ぐことができるという利点がある。
特開２００１−３０７９５１号公報 In addition, there is a method of manufacturing an electrode using carbon nanotubes that are vertically aligned without being pelletized or pasted as described above. This method eliminates the steps of pelletizing and pasting, prevents the electrode from expanding and contracting due to the entry and exit of ions during charge and discharge of the capacitor, and increases the internal resistance due to the resin content. There is an advantage that can be prevented.
JP 2001-307951 A

カーボンナノチューブを用いた電極は上述のような利点を有するが、垂直に配向させた多数のカーボンナノチューブ間に隙間があるため、その分、蓄電容量が低下するという問題があった。このため、カーボンナノチューブ間の隙間に活性炭粉末等を充填することが考えられるが、カーボンナノチューブ間の隙間は、数十ｎｍ程度しかなく、それに対して、活性炭粉末の粒径は、最低でも４０ｎｍあるため、カーボンナノチューブ間の隙間を
活性炭粉末で埋めることは困難であった。 Although an electrode using carbon nanotubes has the above-described advantages, there is a problem in that the storage capacity is reduced correspondingly because there are gaps between a number of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes. For this reason, it is conceivable to fill the gap between the carbon nanotubes with activated carbon powder or the like, but the gap between the carbon nanotubes is only about several tens of nm, whereas the particle diameter of the activated carbon powder is at least 40 nm. Therefore, it was difficult to fill the gaps between the carbon nanotubes with activated carbon powder.

本発明は、上記の問題から、実質上垂直に配向させたカーボンナノチューブを用いる電極の利点を生かしつつ、さらに蓄電容量を増大させたカーボンナノチューブを用いた電極およびその製造方法を提供するものである。   In view of the above problems, the present invention provides an electrode using carbon nanotubes having a further increased storage capacity while taking advantage of electrodes using carbon nanotubes oriented substantially vertically, and a method for manufacturing the same. .

本発明によるカーボンナノチューブを用いた電極は、集電体と該集電体表面に実質上垂直に配向された複数本のカーボンナノチューブとからなる電極において、該カーボンナノチューブ間の隙間に炭化物が形成されて隙間を埋めていること特徴とするものである。   An electrode using carbon nanotubes according to the present invention is an electrode comprising a current collector and a plurality of carbon nanotubes oriented substantially perpendicular to the surface of the current collector, and carbides are formed in the gaps between the carbon nanotubes. It is characterized by filling the gap.

カーボンナノチューブ間の隙間を埋める炭化物は、例えば、該隙間に含浸した樹脂を炭化させたもの、または、該カーボンナノチューブ間の隙間に含浸したモノマーを重合させ生じた重合物を炭化させたものである。炭化すべき樹脂の代表例としてはポリフッ化ビニリデン、フェノール樹脂、ポリテトラフルオロエチレン（ＰＴＦＥ）、ポリ塩化ビニリデン（ＰＶＤＣ）、ポリフッ化ビニリデン（ＰＶＤＦ）、ポリビニルアルコール（ＰＶＡ）が挙げられる。カーボンナノチューブ間の隙間に含浸されるモノマーの代表例としては、フェノール、メタクリル酸メチルなどが挙げられる。   The carbide filling the gaps between the carbon nanotubes is, for example, carbonized resin impregnated in the gaps, or carbonized polymer obtained by polymerizing the monomer impregnated in the gaps between the carbon nanotubes. . Typical examples of the resin to be carbonized include polyvinylidene fluoride, phenol resin, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Typical examples of the monomer impregnated in the gaps between the carbon nanotubes include phenol and methyl methacrylate.

本発明による、カーボンナノチューブを用いた電極の製造方法は、集電体と該集電体表面に実質上垂直に配向された複数本のカーボンナノチューブを形成する工程と、樹脂もしくはこれを含む液、または、モノマーもしくはこれを含む液をカーボンナノチューブ間の隙間に含浸させる工程と、該カーボンナノチューブを非酸化雰囲気下で加熱し、該樹脂を炭化し、または、モノマーを重合させ、得られた重合物を炭化し、カーボンナノチューブ間の隙間に炭化物を形成して隙間を埋める工程とからなることを特徴とする方法である。   According to the present invention, a method for producing an electrode using carbon nanotubes includes a step of forming a current collector and a plurality of carbon nanotubes oriented substantially perpendicular to the surface of the current collector, a resin or a liquid containing the same, Alternatively, a step of impregnating a gap between carbon nanotubes with a monomer or a liquid containing the same and heating the carbon nanotubes in a non-oxidizing atmosphere to carbonize the resin or polymerize the monomers to obtain a polymer And carbonizing the carbon nanotubes to form carbides in the gaps between the carbon nanotubes to fill the gaps.

実質上垂直に配向されたブラシ毛状カーボンナノチューブは、公知の方法で作製できる。例えば、集電体となるシリコン基板の少なくとも片面上に、ニッケル、コバルト、鉄などの金属の錯体を含む溶液をスプレーや刷毛で塗布した後、加熱して形成した皮膜上に、あるいは、クラスター銃で打ち付けて形成した皮膜上に、アセチレン（Ｃ２Ｈ２）のような炭化水素ガスを用いて一般的な熱化学気相蒸着法を施すことにより、直径１２〜３８ｎｍのカーボンナノチューブが多層構造で基板上に垂直に起毛される。具体的には、まず、基板上に触媒微粒子を形成し、触媒微粒子を核として高温雰囲気で原料ガスからカーボンナノチューブを成長させる。基板は触媒微粒子を支持するものであればよく、触媒微粒子が濡れにくいものが好ましく、シリコン基板であってよい。触媒微粒子はニッケル、コバルト、鉄などの金属微粒子であってよい。これらの金属またはその錯体等の化合物の溶液をスプレーや刷毛で基板に塗布し、またはクラスター銃で基板に打ち付け、乾燥させ、必要であれば加熱し、皮膜を形成する。皮膜の形成は電子ビーム蒸着法によって行ってもよい。皮膜の厚みは、厚過ぎると加熱による微粒子化が困難になるので、好ましくは１〜１００ｎｍである。次いでこの皮膜を好ましくは減圧下または非酸化雰囲気中で好ま
しくは６５０〜８００℃に加熱すると、直径１〜５０ｎｍ程度の触媒微粒子が形成される。カーボンナノチューブの原料ガスとしては、アセチレン、メタン、エチレン等の脂肪族炭化水素が使用でき、とりわけアセチレンガスが好ましい。アセチレンの場合、多層構造で太さ１２〜３８nmのカーボンナノチューブが触媒微粒子を核として基板上にブラシ状に形成される。カーボンナノチューブの形成温度は、好ましくは６５０〜８００℃である。 Brush hair-like carbon nanotubes oriented substantially vertically can be produced by a known method. For example, a solution containing a metal complex such as nickel, cobalt, or iron is applied to at least one surface of a silicon substrate serving as a current collector by spraying or brushing, and then heated on a coating film or a cluster gun By applying a general thermal chemical vapor deposition method using a hydrocarbon gas such as acetylene (C 2 H 2 ), a carbon nanotube having a diameter of 12 to 38 nm has a multilayer structure. Brushed vertically on the substrate. Specifically, first, catalyst fine particles are formed on a substrate, and carbon nanotubes are grown from a raw material gas in a high temperature atmosphere using the catalyst fine particles as nuclei. The substrate is not particularly limited as long as it supports the catalyst fine particles, and is preferably one in which the catalyst fine particles are difficult to wet, and may be a silicon substrate. The catalyst fine particles may be metal fine particles such as nickel, cobalt, and iron. A solution of a compound such as a metal or a complex thereof is applied to the substrate with a spray or a brush, or is applied to the substrate with a cluster gun, dried, and heated if necessary to form a film. The film may be formed by electron beam evaporation. If the thickness of the film is too thick, it becomes difficult to make fine particles by heating, and therefore it is preferably 1 to 100 nm. Subsequently, when this film is heated preferably under reduced pressure or in a non-oxidizing atmosphere, preferably at 650 to 800 ° C., catalyst fine particles having a diameter of about 1 to 50 nm are formed. As a raw material gas for carbon nanotubes, aliphatic hydrocarbons such as acetylene, methane, and ethylene can be used, and acetylene gas is particularly preferable. In the case of acetylene, carbon nanotubes having a multilayer structure and a thickness of 12 to 38 nm are formed in a brush shape on a substrate with catalyst fine particles as nuclei. The formation temperature of the carbon nanotube is preferably 650 to 800 ° C.

樹脂またはモノマーの含浸工程において、樹脂およびモノマーの例は上述したものであってよい。樹脂またはモノマーを含む液は樹脂またはモノマーの溶解液、懸濁液、分散液、乳化液等であってよい。これらの液の媒体としてはテトラヒドロフラン、水、Ｎ−メチル−２−ピロリドンなどが例示される。   In the resin or monomer impregnation step, examples of the resin and the monomer may be those described above. The liquid containing the resin or monomer may be a resin or monomer solution, suspension, dispersion, emulsion or the like. Examples of the medium of these liquids include tetrahydrofuran, water, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and the like.

カーボンナノチューブを加熱する工程は、樹脂、モノマーまたは重合物の燃焼を防ぐために非酸化雰囲気下で行う。非酸化雰囲気の代表例は窒素ガス雰囲気のような不活性ガス雰囲気である。樹脂または重合物の炭化に必要な加熱温度は好ましくは４００〜１０００℃である。モノマーの重合と、得られた重合物の炭化とは段階的に行ってもよいし、一挙に行ってもよい。   The step of heating the carbon nanotube is performed in a non-oxidizing atmosphere in order to prevent combustion of the resin, monomer or polymer. A typical example of the non-oxidizing atmosphere is an inert gas atmosphere such as a nitrogen gas atmosphere. The heating temperature required for carbonization of the resin or polymer is preferably 400 to 1000 ° C. The polymerization of the monomer and the carbonization of the obtained polymer may be performed stepwise or at once.

本発明によれば、集電体と該集電体表面に実質上垂直に配向された複数本のカーボンナノチューブとからなる電極において、該カーボンナノチューブ間の隙間に炭化物が形成されて隙間を埋めているので、上記隙間がなくなり、その分、蓄電容量を増大することができる。   According to the present invention, in an electrode composed of a current collector and a plurality of carbon nanotubes oriented substantially perpendicular to the current collector surface, carbides are formed in the gaps between the carbon nanotubes to fill the gaps. Therefore, the gap is eliminated, and the storage capacity can be increased accordingly.

また、本発明方法によれば、樹脂もしくはこれを含む液、または、モノマーもしくはこれを含む液をカーボンナノチューブ間の隙間に含浸させるので、カーボンナノチューブ間の隙間に支障なく、樹脂もしくはこれを含む液、または、モノマーもしくはこれを含む液を浸透させることができ、次いで該カーボンナノチューブを非酸化雰囲気下で加熱し、これにより該樹脂を炭化し、または、モノマーを重合させ、得られた重合物を炭化するので、カーボンナノチューブ間の隙間にむらなく炭化物を形成して隙間を埋めることができる。   Further, according to the method of the present invention, since the gap between the carbon nanotubes is impregnated with the resin or the liquid containing the resin, or the liquid containing the monomer or the liquid, the resin or the liquid containing the resin is obtained without any trouble in the gap between the carbon nanotubes. Alternatively, the monomer or a liquid containing the monomer can be infiltrated, and then the carbon nanotube is heated in a non-oxidizing atmosphere, thereby carbonizing the resin, or polymerizing the monomer, Since carbonization is performed, carbides can be uniformly formed in the gaps between the carbon nanotubes to fill the gaps.

こうして、本発明によれば、実質上垂直に配向させたカーボンナノチューブを用いる電極の利点を生かしつつ、さらに蓄電容量を増大させたカーボンナノチューブを用いた電極を提供することができる。   Thus, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide an electrode using carbon nanotubes having an increased storage capacity while taking advantage of the electrodes using carbon nanotubes oriented substantially vertically.
