Abstract

PURPOSE:To stabilize the internal resistance when high voltage is applied so as to improve the high voltage resistance by coating carbon paste on the inner surface of a housing case for an activated carbon, while the activated carbon placed on the carbon-coated surface. CONSTITUTION:Inner surface of a case 1 is coated with carbon paste and activat ed carbon 6 and carbon-coated layers 5, 7 are brought into contact with each other. If a metal such as aluminum or titanium is used as a current collector, surface layer of the metal is oxidized due to the high voltage, and the metal surface will be turned into an insulator. If a carbon-coated layer is used as the current collector, because the carbon has a high voltage resistance, the surface layer is not oxidized. Thus stable electric contact characteristic can be maintained even if a high voltage is applied.

In order to further improve the effect of this current collector, it is common to weld the current collector to the case. The methods include spraying aluminum metal onto activated carbon fiber cloth to provide an aluminum layer on one side of the activated carbon, and spot welding it to the case, or scraping off a part of the activated carbon of an activated carbon molded body with a built-in aluminum lath plate. There are some cases where a part of the lath plate is exposed and the exposed part is spot welded to the case.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The former type of thermally sprayed aluminum has excellent conductivity, but it is expensive and the welding strength is not necessarily strong when welded to the case, and the activated carbon layer is more likely to peel off than the case. There is. In addition, in the latter case, when a part of the activated carbon is scraped off and spot welded, the welding strength with the case becomes stronger, but there is a drawback that the electric capacity becomes smaller because a part of the activated carbon is missing. Furthermore, a common drawback of these is that when the current collector is metal, when a high voltage is applied, the metal current collector undergoes surface oxidation, becomes electrically insulating, and has poor electrical contact with activated carbon. There has been a phenomenon in which the internal resistance of the electrochemical device tends to increase.

Also, between A and C, C has a slightly lower internal resistance, but this is because humans use an insulating binder made of activated carbon particles, so the internal resistance is slightly higher, and C has a slightly higher internal resistance because it is made of activated carbon fiber cloth.
