Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a smart fiber for energy storage having energy-saving and flexible characteristics and a method for manufacturing the smart fiber.
Carbon materials are used in various fields including electrochemistry because they have excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, high purity, corrosion resistance and low thermal expansion coefficient. In addition, a lot of research is being carried out to use it as an electrode material because of its relatively easy processing and low cost.
Of these carbon materials, carbon fibers are known to have high strength and elasticity, and are divided into PAN series and pitch series depending on the starting materials. PAN-based carbon fibers have high tensile strength because they have a microstructure on the ribbon, and pitch-based carbon fibers are arranged in the fiber axis direction so that they exhibit excellent thermal and electrical properties. The carbon fiber also exhibits excellent physical properties in coefficient of linear expansion. The linear expansion coefficient of carbon fiber is negative at -1.2 × 10 -6 K -1 and shrinks with increasing temperature, and linear expansion coefficient in the radial direction is reported to be 5.5 × 10 -6 K -1 . The specific heat of the carbon fiber is about 0.7 kJkg -1 , which is constant irrespective of the difference in strength and elastic modulus of the carbon fiber. The direct measurement of the thermal conductivity of carbon fibers is extremely rare and is estimated from measurements of the thermal conductivity of most composites. Since the electrical conductivity of carbon fibers generally depends on crystallinity, graphitized fibers with good crystallinity, for example, exhibit an electrical resistance of 3.0 x 10 < -3 >
Due to the excellent physical properties of carbon fiber, many studies have been made to use carbon fiber as an electrode material for electrochemical cells. When the carbon fiber is used in an electrochemical cell, the electrode manufacturing method uses carbon fiber directly as an electrode material, or the carbon fiber is physically or chemically reused. In this case, the carbon fiber is processed and attached to the current collector. Since most of the electrochemical cells are implemented as a type-invariant hardware device, conventional electrochemical cells are limited in their form. Therefore, there is a demand for a device that can increase the utilization of the device by securing a flexible characteristic that can be bent or folded without being restricted by the form.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an energy-saving smart fiber having energy-storable and flexible properties that can be bent or folded, and a method of manufacturing the smart fiber.
The objects of the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned objects, and other objects not mentioned can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.
As means for solving the above problems, the smart fiber for energy storage according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises two carbon fibers arranged in parallel in a horizontal direction; A gel-type polymer electrolyte formed to surround the two carbon fibers; And two metal electrodes connected to each of the two carbon fibers.
The carbon fibers are carbon fibers produced by a method of carbonizing precursor organic fibers by heat treatment.
The gel-type polymer electrolyte is characterized by being a material providing a polymer matrix, a material capable of smoothly flowing ions during charging and discharging, and capable of ion-adsorbing an electrode.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing smart fibers for energy storage, comprising: disposing two carbon fibers horizontally in parallel; Applying a liquid electrolyte to surround the two carbon fibers, and then curing the liquid electrolyte; And depositing a first metal electrode on one end of one of the two carbon fibers and a second metal electrode on one end or the other end of the other of the two carbon fibers.
The smart fibers of the present invention enable energy storage operations to be performed through an electrolyte filled between two carbon fibers and two carbon fibers, while having similar appearance and flexibility as ordinary fibers.
Accordingly, the smart fibers of the present invention can be woven with smart fibers or ordinary fibers, thereby enabling various wearable energy storage devices to be implemented.
