Description

  The present invention relates to an electric double layer capacitor and an electrode suitable for the capacitor.

Currently, there are demands for electrical energy storage devices that can store a lot of electrical energy in the fields of late-night power storage and auxiliary power supplies for power outages, and in the field of rechargeable transportation equipment such as electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles. In the field of portable electronic terminals such as mobile personal computers, mobile phones, and portable audio devices, there is a demand for electrical energy storage devices that store large amounts of electrical energy per unit volume so that they can operate for a long time even in small volumes. .
An electric double layer capacitor is composed of an electrode, a separator, and an electrolytic solution. The electrolyte dissolved in the electrolytic solution is adsorbed by the electrode, and electric energy is applied to the interface (electric double layer) formed between the electrolyte and the electrode. It is expected as a device to store. The stored energy is represented by (1/2) · C · V ² (where C is a capacitance (F), V is a potential), and in order to store a lot of energy, an electric energy storage device is used. In order to store a large amount of electric energy in a compact manner, it is required to improve the capacitance per unit volume.
As an electrode of an electric double layer capacitor, activated carbon is widely used. Specifically, activated carbon having micropores (pore diameter of 20 mm or less) mainly obtained by carbonizing and activating a raw material such as coconut shell is used. Used. In order to improve the capacitance, an electric double layer capacitor using a new activated carbon as an electrode has been demanded.
In recent years, mesopore-based activated carbon obtained by polymerizing resorcinol and formaldehyde in the presence of a basic catalyst to obtain an organic aerogel having uniform mesopores (pore diameter of 20 mm or more), followed by carbonization and activation has been obtained. Although it is proposed in Patent Document 1 that it can be used as an electrode of an electric double layer capacitor having a large capacitance per unit volume, the inventors have investigated using such activated carbon, and the capacitance is sufficiently high. I couldn't say anything.
Moreover, although it is reported in the nonpatent literature 1 that the cyclic | annular tetramer which is 1 type of the polymer of a resorcinol and an aldehyde compound can be carbonized, it does not disclose about the electrostatic capacitance of this carbide.

When the present inventors examined, it became clear that the electric double layer capacitor which consists of an electrode containing the carbide | carbonized_material obtained from the cyclic tetramer of a resorcinol and an aldehyde compound does not show sufficient electrostatic capacitance.
An object of the present invention is to provide an electrode suitable for an electric double layer capacitor having an improved capacitance among electrodes having a carbide obtained from a polymer of resorcinols and an aldehyde compound.

Examples of the shape of the electric double layer capacitor include a coin type, a wound type, a laminated type, and a bellows type.
As an example of coin-type manufacturing, as shown in FIG. 1, a current collector (12), an electrode (13), a separator (14), an electrode (13) and a current collector are placed in a metal container (11) such as stainless steel. Examples include a method of sequentially laminating the electric bodies (12), filling them with an electrolytic solution, and sealing with a metal lid (15) and a gasket (16).
As an example of winding type production, as shown in FIG. 2, a mixed slurry containing the activated carbon is applied to a current collector (22) and dried, and a laminated sheet of the current collector (22) and electrode (23). The two sheets are wound through a separator (24) and housed in a cylindrical metal container (21) such as aluminum or stainless steel together with an electrode sealing plate (25).
The current collector is provided with a lead in advance, and electricity is charged and discharged with the lead (26) of one laminated sheet as a positive electrode and the lead (26) of the other laminated sheet as a negative electrode.
As shown in FIG. 3, after laminating sheets of current collectors (32) and electrodes (33) and separators (34) alternately as shown in FIG. 3, a metal container (31) such as aluminum or stainless steel is used. , Filled with electrolyte, and the current collector is alternately connected to the lead (35) and sealed; as shown in FIG. 4, the laminated sheet of the current collector (42) and the electrode (43) and the separator Examples include a method of alternately pressing (44), sealing the outer layer with a rubber material or the like, filling the electrolytic solution, and then sealing. Also. As a bipolar structure including the gasket (46) as appropriate, a structure in which the working voltage can be arbitrarily set may be used.
As shown in FIG. 5, the embodiment of the present invention includes a current collector (52), a sheet-shaped electrode (53), a separator (54), an electrode (53), and a collector between pressure plates (51). The electric double layer capacitor was formed by laminating the electric body (52), filling the electrolyte between the separator (54) and the electrode (53), sealing the outer layer with a fluororesin, and pressing with a bolt. Both bolts are insulated from the two current collectors.
The bellows type is a method in which two sheets of electrodes and current collectors are laminated while being folded in a bellows shape via a separator, and then prepared in the same manner as the laminated type.

The separator used in the electric double layer capacitor separates the positive electrode and the negative electrode and plays a role of holding the electrolyte solution, and has a large ion permeability, a predetermined mechanical strength, and an insulating film is used. .

The separator may be a molded product made of ceramic powder particles such as silica and the binder. The molded product is usually formed integrally with the positive electrode and the negative electrode. Moreover, about the separator using polyethylene, a polypropylene, etc., in order to improve hydrophilicity, you may mix surfactant and a silica particle. Furthermore, the separator may contain an organic solvent such as acetone and a plasticizer such as dibutyl phthalate (DBP).

As the separator, a proton conductive polymer may be used.

Examples of inorganic electrolytes include acids such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, perchloric acid, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, Examples include bases such as lithium hydroxide and tetraalkylammonium hydroxide, and salts such as sodium chloride and sodium sulfate. Among inorganic electrolytes, an aqueous sulfuric acid solution is preferable because of its excellent stability and low corrosiveness to the materials constituting the electric double layer capacitor.
The concentration of the inorganic electrolyte is usually about 0.2 to 5 mol (electrolyte) / L (electrolytic solution), and preferably about 1 to 2 mol (electrolyte) / L (electrolytic solution). When the concentration is 0.2 to 5 mol / L, ion conductivity in the electrolytic solution can be ensured.
