Abstract

PURPOSE:To get an electric double layer capacitor which is large-sized and small in inner resistance by arranging the constitution such that the collector in contact with a polarizing electrode is lead which has a thin metallic layer at the surface, that the metallic layer consists of metal which is small in the contact resistance with activated carbon in electrolyte, and that the electrolyte has sulfuric acid for its main ingredient. CONSTITUTION:A metallic layer of silver or the like, which is small in contact resistance even if it contacts with an activated carbon-sulfuric acid kneaded substance, is made on the surface of lead or lead alloy, using low-priced lead or lead alloy for the collector 2 of a polarizing electrode 1. Activated carbon- sulfuric acid kneaded substance 3 is charged in the grid of a grid-shaped collector 2. The first pump black or the like may be mixed as a conductive agent in the activated carbon-sulfuric acid kneaded substance as occasion demands, and fluoric resin, or the like may be used as a binder. Hereby, the electric double layer capacitor can be made large-sized, and the inner resistance can be made small.

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional electric double layer capacitor is 1F
The following small items were the majority. Therefore, the polarizable electrode also had a diameter of 30 mm and a thickness of 1 mm or less. A conductive rubber is also used as the current collector when sulfuric acid is used as the electrolytic solution. The electric resistance of the conductive rubber was about 1 Ω · cm, which was 4 to 6 orders of magnitude higher than that of metal. Therefore, the shape of the conductive rubber was restricted and the film was mainly a thin film. For this reason, the current collector has been a bottleneck in the development of large electric double layer capacitors. Lead, which is an inexpensive metal that withstands sulfuric acid, cannot be used as a current collector of an electric double layer capacitor, probably because a thin insulating film is formed on the surface thereof and the internal resistance increases.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides an undeformed lead or lead alloy as a current collector in contact with a polarizable electrode. In an electric double layer capacitor that uses sulfuric acid as an electrolytic solution, lead or a lead alloy forms a thin insulating film on the surface in sulfuric acid and becomes an electric double layer capacitor with a large internal resistance.
In order to prevent this, a thin metal layer such as silver, gold, platinum, tantalum or niobium having a thickness of 50 μm or less is formed on the surface of lead or lead alloy by a method such as plating, plasma or vacuum deposition.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention uses inexpensive lead or a lead alloy for the collector of the polarizable electrode, and the surface of the lead or the lead alloy has a small contact resistance even when contacted with the activated carbon-sulfuric acid kneaded material, silver, gold,
Since a metal layer of platinum, tantalum, niobium, or the like is formed, a large-sized electric double layer capacitor having a low internal resistance can be provided at low cost. The internal resistance of a 1000 F electric double-layer capacitor manufactured with a lead current collector was 0.113 Ω, whereas the lead current collector according to the present invention formed with a metal layer such as silver on the surface. The manufactured product had an internal resistance of 0.023Ω. Since lead is used to connect the electrodes to each other, the connection process is simplified and the resistance between the connections is small.
