Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent deterioration of characteristics by applying a particular high frequency current in an electrolyte non-impregnated state in the assembling process to remove remaining water content to exclude the increase of internal pressure. SOLUTION: In the assembling process, each component of an electric double- layered capacitor 1 is put in a case for the electric double-layered capacitor 1, and a high frequency current is applied to the terminals of the electric capacitor 1 at a particular frequency by a high frequency applying power supply 3 before an electrolyte solution is added into it. Due to this operation for applying the high frequency current at the particular frequency, dielectric heating is induced and the remaining water content adsorbed in various components of the electric double layer capacitor 1 is evaporated. By sucking and removing this water content from the outside of the system, the remaining water content in the completed electric double-layered capacitor 1 can be reduced to a substantially zero level.

By the way, since electric double layer capacitors use carbon fiber or carbon fine powder as a main material, not only the step of manufacturing carbon fiber or carbon fine powder but also the final electric double layer capacitor is manufactured. In each of the steps, water and various compounds that have the function of absorbing and fixing moisture are adsorbed on the surface, and these substances are occluded in carbon fibers and carbon fines. When a capacitor is manufactured, various obstacles occur. Of course, a method of treating the surface of carbon fiber or carbon fine powder which is a main material of the electric double layer capacitor before use has been proposed, and a considerable improvement has been recognized. However, there is no special method for removing these substances adsorbed in the manufacturing process of the electric double layer capacitor. Slightly dry polarizable electrodes for electric double layer capacitors should be controlled to a certain amount of water or less to prevent moisture from adsorbing in the final assembly process of the electric double layer capacitor, and Assembling in an assembly room where the atmosphere is replaced with an argon atmosphere, that is, in a glove box,
At present, a sealing method is adopted.

However, in this method, it is possible to control the amount of water absorbed in the assembling process to a certain level or less, but it is not possible to completely remove the remaining water in the drying process before assembling various materials. It can be easily understood that it is practically impossible to completely remove the in the process of assembling the electric double layer capacitor. However, when an electric double layer capacitor in such a state is used, the remaining moisture reacts with carbon as an electrode material to generate carbon dioxide gas, thereby increasing the internal pressure of the case of the electric double layer capacitor, and There is a disadvantage that the characteristics are deteriorated.

In the method for manufacturing an electric double layer capacitor according to the present invention, the frequency of the high-frequency current applied through the terminals of the capacitor before adding the electrolyte is usually
10 MHz to 100 MHz. If the frequency is less than 10 MHz, it may not be possible to heat the material to a temperature sufficient to remove moisture absorbed on the surface of various materials, particularly carbon constituting the polarizable electrode. On the other hand, when the frequency exceeds 100 MHz, it becomes necessary to increase the applied voltage, which makes the device configuration difficult. The time for application usually depends on the input power, but 1 minute to 5 minutes is sufficient. If desired, the application time can be controlled by monitoring the moisture concentration in the atmosphere in the case that has been sucked and evacuated during the same operation.

By applying a high-frequency current, it is possible to heat and remove water absorbed in various components for an electric double layer capacitor, in particular, a polarizable electrode and a separator. In that case, it is preferable to remove the evaporated water by suctioning it out of the system. For suction, it is preferable to provide a suction hole in the storage case. In particular, it is preferable that a suction hose mounting member that allows a suction hose connected to a suction pump to be easily attached and detached has a suction hole protruding from the case. More preferably, if the projecting suction hose mounting member is made of a thermoplastic resin, the suction member is heated and melted at the same time as the application of the energizing operation, whereby the sealing is easily performed. be able to.

The suction is preferably performed in two stages. During dielectric heating, it is necessary to perform the heating under the condition of 300 to 400 hPa. If the vacuum is further increased, glow discharge due to high frequency occurs, which is not preferable. The suction after the completion of the dielectric heating needs to be usually performed under the condition of 10 Pa or less. That is, the internal pressure in the case is 1 Pa to 1
What is necessary is just to set it so that it may be set to about 0 Pa. FIG. 1 schematically shows an apparatus used for suction in the manufacturing method according to the present invention. It is not preferable that the internal pressure of the electric double layer capacitor becomes significantly lower than the atmospheric pressure because the life of the electric double layer capacitor may be shortened. In some cases, at the time when the energization is completed, dry air or a dry inert gas such as argon,
It is preferable to inject nitrogen gas, carbon dioxide or the like to adjust the internal pressure to about the same as the atmospheric pressure. Of course, a method may be adopted in which the generated carbon dioxide gas is replaced and exhausted while blowing dry air or dry inert gas during application of current. Here, dry air or dry inert gas means that the amount of water contained therein is 5 ppm or less, preferably 1 ppm.
