Therefore, it is excellent in corrosion resistance as compared with Kovar, which has been widely used as a material for the sealing plate 11. Therefore, the base material of the sealing plate 11 is in a state protected by an oxide film, and the base material containing nickel is difficult to elute at the time of welding to the container body 10. Moreover, the amount of nickel contained in stainless steel is relatively small compared to Kovar.

In this respect as well, it is possible to suppress an increase in leakage current during charging, and to facilitate the handling of the sealing plate 11 and improve the assembly workability of the electric double layer capacitor 1. Furthermore, since stainless steel is easily available and inexpensive, it is easy to reduce the cost of the electric double layer capacitor 1 itself.
- the metal layer 21 is coated on the lower surface of the sealing plate 11 via the base layer 20. Therefore, the base material of the sealing plate 11 is protected not only by the oxide film but also by the metal layer 21. Accordingly, the base material is less likely to be exposed due to scratches and the like, and nickel contained in the base material of the sealing plate 11 is less likely to elute when the container body 10 and the sealing plate 11 are welded.

- the thickness of the sealing plate 11 is preferably 30 ⁇ m or less. This point will be described below.
- the heat from the roller electrode 60 is transmitted to the sealing plate 11 with which the roller electrode 60 is in contact, but is also transmitted to the sealing ring 12 as well as the sealing plate 11. Therefore, both the sealing plate 11 and the seal ring 12 are thermally expanded, and are thermally contracted by cooling after the end of welding. At this time, since the sealing plate 11 and the seal ring 12 have different thermal shrinkage rates, stress acts between them.
- the thickness of the sealing plate 11 it is preferable to reduce the thickness of the sealing plate 11 to a thickness of 30 ⁇ m or less so as to suppress the influence of heat shrinkage by the sealing plate 11. By doing so, it is possible to suppress the occurrence rate of cracks to 1% or less.

- the roller electrode 60 does not hit the sealing plate 11 and there is a risk of poor welding. Therefore, it is preferable to determine the outer size of the sealing plate 11 so that the outer peripheral edge portion of the sealing plate 11 coincides with the outer peripheral edge portion of the seal ring 12 as shown in FIG. Thereby, it is possible to reliably energize the sealing plate 11 using the roller electrode 60 and perform good welding.

In particular, as described above, it is preferable to reduce the thickness of the sealing plate 11 in order to prevent problems such as unauthorized deformation and cracking. However, at this time, the thickness of the seal ring 12 is made thicker than that of the sealing plate 11. By doing so, thermal expansion of the seal ring 12 can be suppressed as much as possible, and heat can be prevented from being transmitted to the peripheral wall portion 10b. For example, when the thickness of the sealing plate 11 is about 20 ⁇ m, the thickness of the seal ring 12 is preferably about 30 to 40 ⁇ m. Note that the maximum value of the thickness of the seal ring 12 is preferably about half of the total thickness of the electric double layer capacitor 1.
- a sealing plate is welded to the container body through a nickel-plated seal ring, and an electrochemical cell in which an electrochemical element is sealed in the internal storage space is produced, and the electrochemical cell is charged and discharged.

That is, the hardness of soft pure gold can be increased when a gold-cobalt alloy is used compared to pure gold. Therefore, when the metal layer is formed by a wet method, the metal layer is hardly damaged. Therefore, it is easier to handle than when pure gold is used, and it is considered that the assembly workability can be improved and the yield can be improved.

具体的には、接合材として用いたニッケルが、充放電の繰り返しに伴う電圧の印加、又はその電圧の保持の過程で溶解し、特に充電時に漏れ電流が増加して、充電効率が低下するという課題があった。
従って、充電時に漏れ電流が増加することを防止でき、充電効率が低下することを抑制できる。これにより、長期的に亘って品質が安定した電気化学セルとすることができる。
(a)オーステナイト・フェライト二相ステンレス鋼。
(b)オーステナイト系ステンレス鋼。
(c)析出硬化ステンレス鋼。
(d)フェライト系ステンレス鋼。
(e)マルテンサイト系ステンレス鋼。
特にリッド部材には、充放電時において電圧の変化によって孔食が発生する可能性が高い。そのため、孔食の高い材料を選択することが望ましく、上記(a)オーステナイト・フェライト二相ステンレス鋼が最も望ましい。
加えて、Au、Cu、Ag、Ir、Pd、Rh、Sn、又はそれらの合金を用いた場合には、ニッケルに比べて貴な金属であるためイオン化傾向が低く溶出し難い。そのため、これらの金属と共にリッド部材の母材に含まれるニッケルが溶出するといったことが生じ難い。
これらのことから、充電時に漏れ電流が増加して充電効率が低下してしまうことを効果的に抑制でき、充放電のサイクル特性に優れた電気化学セルとすることができる。
また、例えば、金属層が接合材と接する部分に亘って被膜されている場合であって、接合材及び下地層にニッケルを用いた場合には、接合材と下地層とがなじみが良く、両者を高い親和性で強固に接合させることができるので、これら金属層及び接合材を介してベース部材とリッド部材とをさらに強固に溶接することが可能である。
即ち、リッド部材を溶接(シーム溶接やレーザー溶接等)する際、例えばシーム溶接では、間欠を伴うパルス的な周期を伴い通電するため、通電された部位が局所的に発熱する。また、レーザー溶接においても、間欠を伴うパルス的な周期を伴いレーザービームを照射するため、レーザービームを受けた部位が局所的に発熱する。いずれの場合であっても、その熱は接合材を介してベース部材のうち少なくとも接合材側の一部分に伝わるので、リッド部材及びベース部材における上記一部分が熱膨張する。そして、溶接終了後、リッド部材及びベース部材における上記一部分は、冷却されるので収縮するが、その際の熱収縮率が異なるので応力が発生する。これにより、例えばベース部材における少なくとも上記一部分に応力が集中してしまい、不正変形や割れ等が発生し易い。
しかしながら、リッド部材の厚みが30μm以下であるので、リッド部材による熱収縮の影響を抑えることができ、上記応力を低減させて不正変形や割れ等の不具合の発生を抑制することができる。
(溶接径φ/壁厚T)<0.5 ・・・・(1)
即ち、リッド部材を溶接(シーム溶接やレーザー溶接等)する際、その熱は接合材を介してベース部材における周壁部に伝わるので、リッド部材及び周壁部が熱膨張する。そして、溶接終了後、リッド部材及び周壁部は、冷却されるので収縮するが、その際の熱収縮率が異なるので応力が発生する。これにより、周壁部にその応力が集中してしまい、不正変形や割れ等の不具合が発生し易い。
そこで、周壁部の壁厚T(μm)と溶接部の溶接径φ(μm)とを上記式(1)を満たすようにすることで、周壁部の壁厚を厚くする点と、溶接径を小さくする点と、をバランス良く両立させることができ、上記不具合の発生を抑制することができる。
特に、溶接を複数回行うので、1回の溶接での溶接径をできるだけ小さくでき、上記不具合をさらに効果的に抑制できる。
図1に示すように、電気二重層キャパシタ1は、内部に密封された収納空間Sを有する密封容器2と、収納空間S内に収納され、蓄充電可能な電気化学素子3と、を備えており、図示しない基板に例えばリフローによって表面実装可能とされた電気化学デバイスである。
容器本体10は、セラミックスやガラス等の材料で形成されたものであり、平板状の底壁部10a及び枠状の周壁部10bを有する有底筒状の凹状容器とされ、底壁部10aと周壁部10bとで凹部を画成している。そして、この凹部を上記封口板11が塞いで封口している。
接合層13は、例えばシールリング12とのなじみの良いニッケルや金等から形成することが好ましい。接合層13の形成方法としては、電解メッキや無電解メッキの他、真空蒸着等の気相法等を採用しても良い。
両外部接続端子15、16のうち一方の外部接続端子15は、容器本体10の側面に形成された側面電極17を介して集電体14に導通しており、他方の外部接続端子16は、容器本体10の側面に形成された側面電極18を介して接合層13に導通している。
集電体14は、一方の外部接続端子15が形成されている側の容器本体10の側面まで延設している。そして、側面まで延設された集電体14と外部接続端子15とを接続するように、容器本体10における底壁部10aの側面に一方の側面電極17が形成されている。一方、他方の側面電極18は、容器本体10の周壁部10bの上面に形成された接合層13と他方の外部接続端子16とを接続するように、容器本体10における底壁部10a及び周壁部10bの側面に亘って形成されている。
また、本実施形態の封口板11には、容器本体10側に向いた下面の全体に下地層20を挟んで金属層21が被膜されている。そのため、これら下地層20及び金属層21は、後述する負極27と接しているだけでなくシールリング12とも接している。
また、2層又は3層のクラッド材として、使用することもできる。
上記のように構成された電気二重層キャパシタ1によれば、一対の外部接続端子15、16を介して正極25と負極27との間に電圧が印加されると、例えば、ホウフッ化物の4級アンモニウム塩が液体電解質W内でイオン化し、前記非プロトン性の極性有機溶媒と溶媒和した状態で、正極25及び負極27に吸着することで分極する。これにより、活性炭表面に電気二重層を形成することで、電荷の蓄積が行われ、充放電が行われる。

特に、オーステナイト・フェライト二相ステンレス鋼やオーステナイト系が、耐食性が高く望ましい。さらに、Mnの含有率が高いSUS201、SUS202等のオーステナイト系ステンレスや、オーステナイト・フェライト二相ステンレス鋼は熱膨張係数が小さく望ましい。
但し、封口板11の母材に含まれるニッケルが溶出して析出することを防止することが目的であるため、少なくとも封口板11の表面のうち負極27と対向する部分に形成されていれば良い。しかしながら、溶接時におけるシールリング12との親和性を高めてなじみを良くするために、図示の例の如く、下地層20及び金属層21をシールリング12と接する部分にも形成することが好ましい。
但し、封口板11に金属層21を被膜させる方が好ましく、下地層20を挟んで金属層21を被膜させる方がさらに好ましい。
特に、Cu、Ag、Ir、Pd、Rhを用いた場合には、Auを用いた場合と同様に、ニッケルに比べて貴な金属であるためイオン化傾向が低く溶出し難い。そのため、これらの金属と共に封口板11の母材に含まれるニッケルが溶出するといったことが生じ難い。一方、Snを単体で用いた場合には、融点が低いためリフロー処理には不向きである。そのため、Snを用いる場合には、Co、Cu等の合金メッキとして用いることが望ましい。
このように、上記したいずれの金属材料を用いたとしても、充電時に漏れ電流が増加して充電効率が低下してしまうことを抑制できる。
但し、容器本体10に対して熱膨張係数の近いものが好ましい。例えば、容器本体10を熱膨張係数6.8×10-6/℃のアルミナを用いる場合、シールリング12としては熱膨張係数5.2×10-6/℃のコバールや、熱膨張係数4.5~6.5×10-6/℃の42-アロイを用いることが好ましい。
また、ガラス材料としては、ソーダ石灰ガラス、鉛ガラスや硼珪酸ガラス等を用いることができるが、加工性を考慮すると硼珪酸ガラスが望ましい。
例えば、図2に示すように、第1貫通電極31を介して集電体14と一方の外部接続端子15とを導通させると共に、第2貫通電極32を介して接合層13と他方の外部接続端子16とを導通させても構わない。この点詳細に説明する。
例えば、図3に示すように、容器本体10の底壁部10a上における正極25の略中心に、該正極25よりも横断面積が小さい集電体14を形成し、該集電体14と一方の側面電極41とを、底壁部10a内に形成した一方の内部電極43を利用して互いに接続させる。また、接合層13に導通している貫通電極45を底壁部10aの途中まで形成し、底壁部10a内に形成した他方の内部電極44を利用して、貫通電極45と他方の側面電極42とを互いに接続させる。
このように構成した電気二重層キャパシタ40であっても、一対の外部接続端子15、16と、集電体14及び接合層13と、の接続ルートが異なるだけで、同様の作用効果を奏効することができ、表面実装型の電気二重層キャパシタとして利用できる。
そして蓋体53は、シールリング12を利用した溶接によってベース基板52上に固定されている。この際、蓋体53の周壁部53a及び頂壁部53bと、ベース基板52とで画成された空間が、収納空間Sとされている。また、蓋体53の内面には下地層20及び金属層21が形成されている。
酸化・還元反応の伴う電気化学デバイスにも利用することができ、例えば、正極又は負極の活物質として金属リチウムイオンを吸蔵、放出可能な材料を用いたリチウムイオンキャパシタや、金属リチウムとアルミニウムや錫等の他の金属との合金を用いたリチウム二次電池でも構わない。
特に、負極活物質にリチウムイオン吸蔵可能な炭素系材料やケイ素系材料を用い、そこにリチウムイオンを予めドープさせたリチウムイオンキャパシタや、リチウムイオン二次電池でも構わないし、少なくとも正極又は負極のいずれか一方に電気二重層キャパシタ等で用いる活性炭等の電極を組み合わせたリチウムイオンキャパシタにも適用可能である。
例えば、正極活物質としてFeS、負極活物質としてSiOを用いても構わない。また、正極活物質としてリチウム含有マンガン酸化物、負極活物質としてLi-Al合金等の金属リチウムと合金をなす金属間化合物を用いても構わない。
なお、リチウムの金属間化合物としては、Li-Al以外にも、Li-In合金、Li-Sn合金、Li-Si合金等を例示できる。これらの金属間化合物は、材料の強度等を向上させる目的で、上述の元素以外に第三の添加物を加えても良く、例えば、Ca、Mg、Si、Mn、V等の元素が例示できる。
この場合、例えばアルミナやチタニアの繊維体を焼結させた焼結体であるセラミックペーパーに、無機の固体電解質(Li2S、SiS2、Li4SiO4)を練りこみ、又はホットプレスにより電極と固体電解質とを一体化させた状態のものをセパレータ26の代わりに隔離部材として利用することができる。
この場合であっても、固体電解質を通じて例えばリチウムイオンを正極25と負極27との間で移動させることができるので、確実な電気化学反応を行わせることができ、電気化学セルとして用いることが可能である。
ここで、図1に示す電気二重層キャパシタ1を作製するにあたり、封口板11の溶接方法について、詳しく説明する。
この場合の溶接方法としては、先に述べたようにローラ電極を利用したシーム溶接で溶接を行うことが好ましい。具体的には、図5及び図6に示すように、容器本体10における周壁部10bのうち、例えば長辺となる一対の周壁部10bに沿ってローラ電極60を進行(図6に示す矢印方向)させながら、シールリング12上に重ねられた封口板11を加圧し、且つ断続的に通電することで抵抗溶接を行う。
なお、上記溶接方法としては、シーム溶接に限られるものではない。例えばレーザー溶接であっても良い。
なお、図7は封口板11を外した状態における平面図である。
なお、図9は封口板11を外した状態における平面図である。
溶接時、ローラ電極60からの熱は、該ローラ電極60が接する封口板11に伝わるが、封口板11だけでなくシールリング12にも伝わる。従って、封口板11及びシールリング12は共に熱膨張すると共に、溶接終了後、冷却によって熱収縮する。このとき、封口板11及びシールリング12は、熱収縮率が異なるので、両者の間に応力が作用する。すると、この応力はシールリング12に接続され、壁厚が薄い容器本体10の周壁部10bに集中して作用し易いので、この周壁部10bに不正変形や割れ等の不具合が発生するおそれがある。
そこで、これらの不具合を抑制する点でも、封口板11の厚みを30μm以下にすることが好ましい。
壁厚Tが薄い場合には、該周壁部10bの強度(剛性)が低下するので、不正変形や割れ等が発生し易くなってしまう。また、溶接径φが大きいと、溶接時の電流量が大きいので熱が過大に伝わり、やはり不正変形や割れ等が発生し易くなってしまう。
(溶接径φ/壁厚T)<0.5 ・・・・(1)
このようにすることで、割れの発生率を1%以下に抑えることが可能である。
なお、図10は封口板11を外した状態における平面図である。また、溶接を複数回繰り返したとしても、上記式(1)を満たしているので、割れの発生率等が増加し難い。
従って、図12に示すように、封口板11の外周縁部がシールリング12の外周縁部と一致するように、封口板11の外形サイズを決定することが好ましい。これにより、ローラ電極60を利用して封口板11に確実に通電でき、良好な溶接を行うことができる。
例えば、封口板11の厚みを20μm程度にした場合には、シールリング12の厚みを30~40μm程度にすると良い。なお、シールリング12の厚みの最大値としては、電気二重層キャパシタ1の全体の厚みの略半分程度にすることが好ましい。
具体的には、ニッケルメッキを施したシールリングを介して封口板を容器本体に溶接し、内部の収納空間内に電気化学素子を密封した電気化学セルを作製し、該電気化学セルについて充放電を繰り返し行い、その間での電気化学セルの充放電性能の安定性を評価する第1の評価試験を行った。
また、電気化学セルを作製するにあたり、封口板を溶接し、その後冷却した際に、電気化学セルに割れが発生したか否かを確認する第2の評価試験を行った。
第2の評価試験では、封口板の材質や、厚みを変えながら複数のパターンで試験を行った。これらの結果を表5~8に示す。
充放電としては、定電流(CC:Constant Current)、定電圧(CV:Constant Voltage)で行った。具体的には、まず定電流で充電を開始し、最大電圧(3.3V)に達した時点で該電圧を一定時間保持した。この際、充電時間と保持時間との合計時間を2時間に設定した。次に、この2時間が経過した後、定電流で放電を開始し、最低電圧(0V)に達した時点で該電圧を一定時間保持した。この際も、放電時間と保持時間との合計時間を2時間に設定した。
上記した1回の充電及び1回の放電を合わせて1サイクルとし、これを120サイクル繰り返し行った。
具体的には、充放電中に電解液の分解やニッケルの溶出等によるリーク電流の増加が100%以上ある場合(電流値が倍になった状態)には、充電異常となり上記容量の変化が急激に大きく変化する。
従って、この容量の大きな変化が現れた場合には、リーク電流の増加が「あり」と判断し、(充電効率が低下した)と判断した。これに対して、大きな容量変化がなく、滑らかに上記容量が推移した場合には、リーク電流の増加が「なし」と判断し、(充電効率の低下がなく、充放電のサイクル特性が安定化している)と判断した。
まず、ステンレス製の封口板を用いた場合と、ニッケルメッキを施したコバール製の封口板を用いた場合と、で評価試験を行った。これらの結果を表1に示す。
表1において、試験例1~12は前者の条件で評価試験したものであり、本発明に係る実施例である。これに対して試験例13は後者の条件で評価試験したものであり、実施例に対する比較例である。なお、封口板の厚みは、試験例1~13において同一である。
これらの結果から、封口板をステンレス製とすることで充電効率の低下を抑制でき、充放電のサイクル特性の向上化に繋がることが確認された。
次いで、ステンレスに金属層として金メッキを施した封口板を用いた場合と、ニッケルメッキを施したコバール製の封口板を用いた場合と、で評価試験を行った。これらの結果を表2に示す。
表2において、試験例14~27は前者の条件で評価試験したものであり、本発明に係る実施例である。これに対して試験例28は後者の条件で評価試験したものであり、実施例に対する比較例である。
これらの結果から、金メッキが施されたステンレス製の封口板を用いることで、充電効率の低下を抑制でき、充放電のサイクル特性の向上化に繋がることが確認された。
次いで、ステンレスに下地層としてニッケルメッキを形成した後、ニッケルメッキ上に金属層として金又はその合金をメッキした封口板を用いた場合と、ニッケルメッキを施したコバール製の封口板を用いた場合と、で評価試験を行った。これらの結果を表3に示す。
表3において、試験例29~34は前者の条件で評価試験したものであり、本発明に係る実施例である。これに対して試験例35は後者の条件で評価試験したものであり、実施例に対する比較例である。
特に、金属層の膜厚が増すにつれて、リーク電流の増加が認められないサイクル回数が増えた。つまり、金属層の膜厚が増すにつれて充電効率の低下をより抑制することができた。特に試験例32、34では、120サイクル経過してもリーク電流の増加がなく、充電効率の低下をより効果的に抑制することができた。
次いで、ステンレスに下地層としてニッケルメッキを形成した後、ニッケルメッキ上に金以外の金属材料をメッキした封口板を用いた場合と、ニッケルメッキを施したコバール製の封口板を用いた場合と、で評価試験を行った。これらの結果を表4に示す。
表4において、試験例36~41は前者の条件で評価試験したものであり、本発明に係る実施例である。これに対して試験例42は後者の条件で評価試験したものであり、実施例に対する比較例である。
メッキがなされていないステンレス製の封口板をシールリング上に重ねた後、ローラ電極を接触させることによるシーム溶接により溶接を行い、その後冷却した際に、電気化学セルに割れが発生したかを、倍率が約20倍程度の双眼の実体顕微鏡を使った外観の観察によって確認した。この際、複数個の電気化学セルについて外観の検査を行い、その割れ発生率を算出した。
ステンレス製の封口板を用いるにあたって、材質及び厚みを変えながら評価試験を行った。これらの結果を表5に示す。
試験例43~46では、SUS304のステンレスを用い、厚みをそれぞれ変化させた。試験例47~56では、材質及び厚みがそれぞれ異なるステンレスを用いた。
これらの結果から、封口板の厚みが割れ発生率に比例して関係していることが明らかであり、薄くするほど割れ発生率を抑えることが確認できた。また、封口板の厚みを30μm以下にすることで、割れ発生率を1%以下にすることができ、特に有効であることが確認できた。
次いで、容器本体の周壁部の壁厚T(μm)と、溶接時における溶接部の溶接径φ(μm)と、割れ発生率と、の関係について評価試験を行った。これらの結果を表6及び表7に示す。
次に、容器本体の周壁部の壁厚Tを400μmとした状態で、溶接部の溶接径φを変化させながら評価試験を行った。この結果を表7に示す。
これらのことから、周壁部の壁厚Tを厚く形成し、且つ溶接部の溶接径φを小さくすることが、割れ発生率を低く抑えることに有効であることが確認できた。そして、表6及び表7から、〔(溶接径φ/壁厚T)<0.5〕を満たす場合には、割れ発生率が1%以下になることを確認できた。
次いで、溶接回数と溶接不良との関係について評価試験を行った。この結果を表8に示す。
本評価試験では、表6における試験例57と同じ条件で、1回溶接を行った場合と、2回溶接行った場合と、で比較した。そして、溶接後、双眼の実体顕微鏡を使った外観検査を行うことで、溶接不良の有無を確認した。
