METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A POROUS CARBON BLACK AND ITS APPLICATIONS [0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a capacitor additive and a method for producing carbon black for an electrode active material, and more particularly, to a method for manufacturing a carbon material capable of simultaneously achieving prevention of energy density reduction and improvement of power density, ≪ / RTI >

High-performance portable energy storage devices are a key component of devices that are essential for all portable information and communications devices, electronic devices, and electric vehicles. The next-generation energy storage systems that have been recently developed are all based on electrochemical principles, and are representative of lithium-based secondary batteries and electrochemical capacitors. An electrochemical capacitor is an energy storage device that stores and supplies electric energy by using a capacitor behavior caused by an electrochemical reaction between an electrode and an electrolyte. As compared with a conventional electrolytic capacitor and a secondary battery, an energy density and an output density are superior Is a new concept of energy storage power source capable of quickly storing or supplying energy of various kinds. Electrochemical capacitors are expected to be used as back-up power sources for electronic devices, pulse power sources for portable mobile communication devices, and high output power sources for hybrid electric vehicles due to their ability to supply a large amount of current in a short time . The development of a supercapacitor whose energy density is larger than that of a conventional capacitor is of interest in such an electrochemical capacitor. An electric double layer capacitor (hereinafter referred to as an " electric double layer capacitor " : EDLC) and pseudo-capacitors generated in the faradaic reaction accompanied by the charge transfer between the electrode and the electrolyte such as the adsorption reaction on the electrode surface of the electrolyte or the oxidation / reduction reaction of the electrode It is a supercapacitor. Among them, the pseudo capacitor is a super capacitor which exhibits a super high capacitance with a maximum capacitance 10 times larger than that of the EDLC type.

The lithium secondary battery and the electric double layer capacitor are very similar in the structure and the operating principle of the unit cell, but show a difference in the charge storing mechanism. That is, in the lithium secondary battery, electrons and ions are transferred to the bulk of the electrode material depending on charge and discharge, and depend on the reaction involving the movement of electrons, so that the phase change of the electrode material is accompanied by the phase change. There is a characteristic that charging and discharging occurs only at the interface between the electrode and the electrolyte.

In general, a method of manufacturing an electrode is a coating method in which a binder is a mixture of a binder and a conductive material such as carbon black, which is prepared by dissolving a certain amount of active carbon powder or fiber in a solvent, Can be divided into a sheet form in paste state together with a binder and a rolling method in which the sheet is adhered to a current collector or is adhered to a current collector through a conductive adhesive. Because the activated carbon used here is very resistant to the reaction, carbon black is used as a conductive additive to control the resistance of the entire cell. However, carbon black has a very small specific surface area compared to activated carbon and low density, .

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above problems by providing a method of forming a pore by performing a chemical activation treatment on a surface of a carbon black to increase the amount of energy storage while maintaining conductivity by introducing a mixed secondary structure between the carbon black .

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, carbon black having different diameters of 18 nm and 95 nm were selected to confirm the activation behavior according to the diameter of the primary structure of carbon black. Carbon black exists in various sizes and various structures, and carbon black having a diameter of 10 nm to 130 nm is commercially available.

When carbon black is used as an active material to replace activated carbon, differences in generation of pores depending on the diameter and difference in electrochemical charging amount can be considered as important characteristics in selection.

Carbon black has a secondary structure in which the primary structure is aggregated and also has a great influence on the properties such as electrical conductivity and the penetration degree of the chemical during chemical activation also changes depending on the secondary structure.

Preferred activation methods include heat treatment in an inert atmosphere by mixing a powdered or boiled aqueous solution of either sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide with carbon black, and an instantaneous heat treatment at high temperature for removal of the functional groups.

The present invention is characterized by using low-cost carbon black, which has been considered only as a conductive additive in an energy storage device, directly as an electrode material of a supercapacitor or improving the energy density to be lowered due to the low specific surface area of carbon black to be added do.

An eighth embodiment of the invention relates to an energy storage device comprising an electrode of the seventh embodiment.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to Examples, but the present invention is not limited to the following Examples.

Example

Carbon black, which is the starting material of the present invention, was selected from Tokai Corporation and Asahi Corp. carbon blacks (9H SAF-HS, SP SRF-LS and Sunblack- series) in Japan among thermal blacks generated during incomplete combustion. Two samples with large diameters of 18 nm and 95 nm were selected to confirm the activation tendency and the electrochemical characteristics according to the diameter of carbon black. The KOH was mixed with 4 times the weight ratio and heat treated to 600 ~ 900 ° C. Respectively. After activating KOH, it was neutralized with water and dilute acid to remove chemicals inside the pores, and the surface was washed and dried, and then applied as an electrode material.

The conditions for electrode production were a coin type having a diameter of 1.2 cm and molded using a molder to form an electrode having a thickness of about 300 micrometers. The composition ratio at the time of electrode molding was made without using a conductive agent in the ratio of the active material 90 and the binder 10, and the molding was performed at a pressure of about 78 MPa at this time.

The prepared electrode was impregnated in the used organic solvent, and the internal gas was removed for about 3 hours in a vacuum state, and the first charge / discharge capacity was measured after 10 charge / discharge cycles.

1 is an adsorption isotherm showing changes in pores obtained by activating carbon black at 18 nm and carbon black at 95 nm by adding KOH at 4 times KOH at 600, 700, 800 and 900 ° C, respectively. All the samples had a structure similar to that of Type II and IV, confirming that mesopore was predominant rather than micropores. As the temperature increased, the amount of pores on the surface of the carbon black increased further. Under the same conditions, CB-95 with larger diameter shows more pore structure, which seems to be related to the accessibility of KOH solution.

FIG. 2 shows the result of checking how the BET value calculated from the adsorption isotherm of FIG. 1 changes with the treatment temperature. Contrary to the tendency of the adsorption amount, it was confirmed that CB-18 having a small diameter had a specific surface area of about 1/2 at the same temperature as that of CB-95. This is due to the influence of micropores formed in CB-18 . Small-diameter carbon black confirmed that small pores were predominantly formed by chemical activation.

Fig. 3 shows the results of comparing the electrostatic capacity per unit weight of the electrochemical charged amount measured by the constant voltage / constant current method. In the case of CB-18, continuous increase in capacity was observed with increasing heat treatment. However, in case of CB-95, no increase in capacity was observed at temperatures above 700 ° C., .

FIG. 4 is a graph showing the capacitance per volume by using the density of the electrode using the capacitance of FIG. 3; In the case of small-sized CB-18, the capacity of CB-95 was increased after heat treatment. However, CB-95, which has larger capacity than CB-95, And correlated with the pore structure of the highly formed CB-18.

FIG. 5 is a graph illustrating the behavior of the CB-18 according to the change of the capacity according to the temperature and the discharge current density. As the temperature increases with the temperature, the capacity is about 25 F / g at a slow discharge rate of 1 mA. It can be seen that even if the speed is increased, the deviation is not large. CB-95 shows a slight decrease in capacity after 700 ° C and a larger capacity deviation due to the discharge current density. This tendency has similar results in volume capacity. Small-diameter carbon black allows quick charging and discharging with a small capacity variation according to the current density. However, large-diameter carbon black has a large capacity deviation and has advantages in capacity per volume .

6 and 7 are Rangone plots showing the correlation between the energy density and the power density calculated from the charge / discharge results. Small diameter CB-18 has an energy density of 10 ~ 20Wh / kg and a power density of 15 ~ 1000W / kg with continuous increase in capacity as the activation temperature increases. In the case of large diameter CB-95, The energy density at the treatment temperature is saturated and has a value higher than that of CB-18 at the energy density per volume. That is, it is possible to propose various possibilities to control energy and power by controlling the size of the carbon black and the condition of the chemical activation treatment.
