Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an ultracapacitor electrode having improved density and an ultra capacitor cell using the same, and a method of manufacturing an ultracapacitor cell using the same,

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an ultracapacitor electrode and an ultracapacitor cell to which an ultracapacitor electrode manufactured using the same is applied. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an ultracapacitor electrode, The process is very simple as compared with the coating method or the rolling method for forming the electrode and the density of the electrode can be improved to improve the durability and the irreversible capacity can be reduced by minimizing the electron transfer path loss and the ultra- A capacitor electrode, and an ultra-capacitor cell using the ultra-capacitor electrode.

In general, an ultracapacitor is also referred to as an electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) or a supercapacitor, which is formed by a pair of electrodes and conductors, each having a different sign at the interface between the electrode and the electrolyte, (Electric double layer) of the charge / discharge operation is used, and the deterioration due to the repetition of the charging / discharging operation is very small, so that the device is not required to be repaired. Accordingly, ultracapacitors are mainly used for IC (integrated circuit) backup of various electric and electronic devices. Recently, they have been widely used for toys, solar energy storage, HEV (hybrid electric vehicle) have.

Such an ultracapacitor generally includes two electrodes of a positive electrode and a negative electrode impregnated with an electrolytic solution, a separator of a porous material interposed between the two electrodes to allow only ion conduction and to prevent insulation and short circuit, A gasket for preventing leakage of electricity and preventing insulation and short-circuit, and a metal cap as a conductor for packaging them. Then, one or more unit cells (normally 2 to 6 in the case of a coin type) are stacked in series and the two terminals of the positive and negative electrodes are combined.

The performance of the ultracapacitor is determined by the electrode active material and the electrolyte. In particular, the main performance such as the capacitance is largely determined by the electrode active material. As such an electrode active material, activated carbon is mainly used. Since porous activated carbon has a high specific surface area, it is widely used as an electrode active material for ultracapacitors which exhibits a capacity by physical adsorption and desorption of ions.

However, recently, the most difficult problem in manufacturing an electrode for an ultracapacitor is newly encountered in that it is difficult to increase the capacity per unit volume due to an electrode active material having a high specific surface area. That is, when activated carbon having a high specific surface area is used, the capacity per unit mass is increased, but the electrode density is reduced due to a high specific surface area, and a problem arises that the capacity is inferior to the unit volume.

Conventionally, two methods are mainly used in manufacturing an activated carbon electrode for an ultracapacitor.

In the first method, an activated carbon mixture in the form of slurry in which activated carbon, a binder, a conductive material, and a dispersion medium, which are electrode active materials, is mixed is coated on an aluminum foil, followed by drying and punching (Coating method).

In the second method, a paste-like activated carbon mixture obtained by mixing activated carbon, a binder, a conductive material, and a dispersion medium, which is an electrode active material, is drawn and rolled by two rolls to form a sheet, and then the sheet is cut or punched To thereby produce an electrode (rolling method).

FIG. 1 is a process diagram for explaining a method for manufacturing an electrode for an ultracapacitor (rolling method) according to the prior art, in which a paste-like activated carbon mixture is drawn and rolled into a sheet 10, The electrode 20 is manufactured by punching.

However, the conventional activated carbon electrode 20 manufactured as described above shows a limit in rolling the electrode due to porosity and high specific surface area of the activated carbon, and generally shows an electrode density of about 0.5 to 0.6 g / cm 3, This is a major factor in limiting the volume per volume.

Coating type electrodes are difficult to uniformly disperse when the dispersant is not added, and when coated on the copper foil, voids are formed to cause loss in the electron transport path, resulting in large irreversible capacity, which affects reduction in lifetime characteristics .

Conventional techniques for making rubber types without the addition of binders have the disadvantage that the surface is rough, slick, denser and less durable.

As the applications of ultracapacitors are expanded, higher non-storage capacities and energy densities are required, and it is required to develop an electrode active material exhibiting higher capacitive capacities or to develop new manufacturing methods.

Hereinafter, a method of manufacturing an ultracapacitor electrode according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail.

In the present invention, at least one carbon nanomaterial selected from graphene, carbon nanotube (CNT), and carbon nanofiber is used as an electrode active material. Such a carbon nanomaterial preferably has a specific surface area of about 100 to 700 m 2 / g.

Graphene is a term made by combining graphite, which means graphite, and suffix -ene, which means a molecule having a double bond of carbon. Three out of four outermost electrons constituting graphene form a sp 2 hybrid orbital, forming a strong covalent σ bond, while the remaining one electron forms a π bond with other carbons around it, Shape 2-dimensional structure. The single-layer graphene has a thickness of about 0.34 nm and is very thin and has excellent mechanical strength, thermal and electrical properties, flexibility and transparency.

The fracture stress of graphene is ~ 40 N / m, the theoretical limit value is about 125 GPa, and the modulus of elasticity is about ~ 1.0 TPa which is more than 200 times of steel. This is because there is a hard carbon bond and there is no bond in the fault. It can also be increased by 20% in a plane axis direction, which is much higher than any other crystal. Also, as temperature rises, graphene continues to shrink by two-dimensional phonons, and at the same time it has a very flexible, yet well-cracked characteristic when pulled strongly.

Graphene has a thermal conductivity of about 5,000 W / m · K at room temperature, which is superior to carbon nanotubes or diamond. It is 50% higher than carbon nanotubes and 10 times larger than metals such as copper and aluminum. This is because graphene can easily transmit atomic vibrations. This excellent thermal conductivity also affects the long average free path of electrons. On the other hand, graphite with graphene laminate has a disadvantage in that the thermal conductivity (about 100 times) is significantly lowered in the vertical direction.

The maximum electron mobility of graphene at room temperature is 200,000 cm 2 / Vs. This is known to be due to the very small degree of scattering of electrons in the case of graphene, which leads to a long average free path. Therefore, resistance is lower than 35% of copper with very low resistance. Also, in the case of graphene, it does not lose its electrical conductivity even when the area is increased or decreased by more than 10%.

Grapin became widely known as Novoselov and Professor Geim of the University of Manchester announced the world's first method of separating graphene from pencil lead graphite using the adhesion of Scotch tape. First, prepare graphite flakes, conventional scotch tape, and SiO 2 wafers. The prepared flakes are put on a scotch tape and folded several times and repeated. After this process is completed, the tape is placed on a SiO 2 wafer, rubbed off the remaining flake marks, and the tape is removed to obtain a multi-layered graphene from one layer of graphene.

The reason why this method is possible is to look at the atomic structure of graphene. Graphene has three carbon atoms forming a strong covalent bond on a two-dimensional plane, while a relatively weak van der Waals force in the vertical direction, resulting in very low coefficient of friction between layers, resulting in weak adhesion of the scotch tape It becomes possible to separate it. The exfoliated graphene was very simple to prepare for the sample, and exhibited excellent electrical and structural properties, which played a role in rapidly spreading the basic research of graphene. However, since the area is only micrometer level and the yield is low, there is a limit to the manufacturing method for various applications.

The chemical stripping method is a method based on a solvent that uses an oxidation and reduction reaction and is the closest to the two goals of large area growth and mass production of graphene. To induce peeling through the production of graphite oxide and then to improve the electrical characteristics of the graphene oxide through reduction. There have been many studies on the oxidation of graphite, but the method proposed by Hummers is the most used. This method is easy to mass-produce graphene and is a graphene manufacturing method which can be applied to various applications.

The graphenes mentioned above may be of a single layer, a double layer or a multilayer type, but it is preferable to use a multilayer type graphene because single layer or double layer graphene is difficult to manufacture and expensive to purchase.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have a rounded form of hexagonal networks of carbon atoms. At this time, the horses have a jig shape and an arm chair shape at the end according to the angle. In addition, the rounded shape has a single wall structure with a single wall and a multi wall structure with multiple walls. In addition, a single wall or a multi wall Wall (Nano tube bundle), and a metal-atom-filled nano tube. The diameter of the carbon nanotubes is preferably from 5 nm to 1 占 퐉, and more preferably from 20 nm to 1 占 퐉.

The carbon nanofiber has a fiber shape and preferably has an aspect ratio (length / diameter) of about 10 to 1,000. The diameter of the carbon nanofibers is preferably 5 nm to 1 mu m, more preferably 20 nm to 1 mu m or so.

One or more carbon nanomaterials selected from graphene, carbon nanotubes, and carbon nanofibers and a silane-based material are added to a dispersion medium and dispersed.

The silane-based material may be selected from the group consisting of (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane, aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, aminoalkylmethoxysilane, 3-methacryloxypropyl tri 3-Methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, Methyltrimethoxysilane, 3-Chloropropyltrimethoxysilane, a mixture thereof, and the like. When such a silane-based material is added to the carbon nanomaterial, it has advantages such as improved adhesion and surface modification, and can improve the density and durability of the electrode. In addition, such a silane-based material may play a role in allowing the carbon nanomaterial to adhere well to the follicle during the filtration process by a vacuum filter described later. By adding a small amount of a silane-based material having advantages such as adhesion, dispersion and surface modification, it is possible to improve the densities of the electrodes and to reduce the irreversible capacity by minimizing the electron path loss, An ultracapacitor electrode can be manufactured. The silane-based material is preferably added in an amount of 0.1 to 15 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the carbon nanomaterial.

The dispersion medium may be selected from the group consisting of distilled water, ethanol, acetone, isopropyl alcohol (IPA), diethyleneglycol (DEG), propylene glycol (PG), acetonitrile ), Ethyl acetate, polycarbonate (PC), N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) Dimethylformamide (DMF), and mixtures thereof.

It is preferable to add the carbon nanomaterial to the dispersion medium so that the dispersion concentration of the carbon nanomaterial is about 0.01 to 15.0 g / L, and more preferably about 0.1 to 10.0 g / L. The dispersion is preferably performed at a stirring speed of about 10 to 300 rpm for 10 minutes to 24 hours.

It is preferable that the dispersion is performed by ultrasonic treatment so as to achieve uniform dispersion. Graphene, carbon nanotubes, and carbon nanofibers are very difficult to disperse uniformly without the use of dispersants, and when carbon nanomaterials are not uniformly dispersed, vacancies arise, resulting in loss of electron transport paths, A capacity is generated, which greatly affects the life characteristics. When the ultrasonic treatment is performed, uniform dispersion of the carbon nanomaterial can be realized. The ultrasonic treatment not only removes impurities adhering to the surface of the carbon nanomaterial from the surface but also serves to atomize the aggregated particles and uniformly disperse them. The empty space is not generated by the ultrasonic wave treatment, so that the loss of the movement path of the electrons can be minimized, and the irreversible capacity can be reduced to provide stable lifetime characteristics. The frequency of the ultrasonic wave to be scanned may be about 20 to 40 kHz, and the ultrasonic wave is preferably applied for about 10 minutes to 6 hours. Generally, ultrasound refers to a sound wave having a frequency of 20 kHz or more.

The dispersion process (dispersion of the carbon nanomaterial and the silane-based material) may be immersed in a cleaning liquid such as ethanol, and the cleaning process may be performed while stirring. The stirring speed is preferably about 10 to 500 rpm, and the stirring time is preferably about 10 minutes to 24 hours.

The dispersion product is filtered with a vacuum filter equipped with a filter. A vacuum filter is a device for wrapping a filter cloth and applying vacuum to the back surface to suck moisture in the sludge. Generally, it is a drum type and a belt type. A typical drum type is an Oliver filter. The vacuum filter may be a commercially available vacuum filter. The degree of vacuum of the vacuum filter may be about 10 -2 to 100 torr, which is lower than the atmospheric pressure, but is not limited thereto. The fibrils selectively filter the carbon nanomaterials, and the filtered carbon nanomaterials stick to the fibrils in the form of rubber type electrodes. Carbon nanomaterials larger than the pore size of the filter paper can not pass through the follicles during filtration by the vacuum filter and are attached to the follicles. The follicle has a mesh shape, and the hole size of the mesh is preferably about 10 nm to 20 m in consideration of the size of the carbon nanomaterial.

The carbon nano material, which is an electrode type of a rubber type, is removed from the fibrils and dried. The drying is preferably performed at a temperature of about 40 to 150 ° C. The drying is preferably carried out at the above temperature for about 10 minutes to 48 hours. Such a drying process evaporates the remaining dispersion medium and binds the carbon nanomaterial particles to improve the strength of the ultracapacitor electrode.

The dried product is punched to a desired size (e.g., 12 mm) to form an ultracapacitor electrode.

As described above, a film type rubber type ultracapacitor electrode is manufactured by using an ultrasonic wave and a vacuum filter to minimize the movement path loss of electrons and reduce the irreversible capacity to provide a more efficient and stable lifetime characteristic .
