Abstract

PURPOSE:To adjust the irregularity of the dimensions of sintered electrode elements and reduce contact resistances between the electrode elements and collector plates and, further, avoid the breakage of a separator by a method wherein active carbon layers are provided between the electrode elements and the collector plates to adjust the thicknesses of the electrode elements. CONSTITUTION:A collector plate 1 is a conductive and elastic plate made of mixture of conductive fine particles. An electrode element 2 is a porous plate made by sintering and molding active carbon fine particles. The thickness of the electrode element 2 is so selected as to be about 60-70% of the housing dimension of a gasket 4. The electrode elements 2 are impregnated with electrolyte to form electrodes for storing electric charge. The electrode elements 2 and active carbon layers 5 for adjusting the thicknesses of the electrode elements 2 are divided into two parts by a separator 3. The whole circumference is held between the gaskets 4 and 4 and enclosed airtightly so as to avoid the leakage of the electrolyte. The active carbon layers 5 are made of particle-shaped, fiber-shaped or sheet-shaped active carbon and provided between the separator 3 and the electrode elements 2 in accordance with the shapes of the irregularities of the thickness direction of the electrode elements 2. With this constitution, a sufficiently low contact resistance can be obtained and the breakage of the separator 3 can be avoided by the buffer function of the layers 5.

In order to make a large capacitor with a large capacitance from such a paste-like electrode, it is necessary to apply pressure to lower the internal resistance of the electrode and reduce the contact resistance with the current collector plate. It has the disadvantage that it becomes uneven and cracks occur, making the electrical characteristics unstable.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) In such a polarizable electrode using a sintered body, the capacitance can be increased by connecting a plurality of electrode bodies in parallel with the current collector plate. A capacitor is obtained, but when forming electrode bodies by sintering, it is difficult to prepare multiple electrode bodies with uniform thickness, and as shown in Figure 2, there is a gap between the current collector plate and the electrode body. This has the disadvantage of causing poor contact. Further, in the case of an electrode body set based on the dimensions of the gasket as shown in FIG. 3, there is a possibility that the thickness of the electrode body is unstable, resulting in an electrode body that is thicker than the gasket.

Furthermore, in order to reduce the contact resistance between the current collector plate and the electrode body, if pressure is applied to the current collector plate in the direction of the electrode body, this pressing force and deformation of the electrode body will cause damage to the separator, etc., reducing production yield. The problem is getting worse.

(Means for Solving the Problems) According to the present invention, an electric double layer capacitor includes a plurality of electrode bodies made of sintered fine activated carbon powder, which are immersed in an electrolytic solution, and the plurality of electrode bodies are brought into contact with a current collector plate.

(Function) In the present invention, the thickness of the electrode body formed by sintering is set to, for example, about 60% to 70% of the size of the gasket, and the electrode body is sintered so that there is a gap between the electrode body and the separator. Since granular or fibrous activated carbon is interposed according to the irregular dimensions of the activated carbon, the contact resistance with the electrode body is good due to the pressure applied by the current collecting plate, and the activated carbon also acts as an intervening pressure to the separator. Therefore, it is averaged and damage is prevented.
