Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a carbon nanotube sheet 110 may be prepared (S110). According to an exemplary embodiment, the step of preparing the carbon nanotube sheet 110 includes the steps of: preparing a carbon nanotube forest by a chemical vapor deposition method; ). ≪ / RTI >

According to one embodiment, the carbon nanotube sheet 110 may include a plurality of carbon nanotubes extending in a first direction. Also, according to one embodiment, the plurality of carbon nanotubes may be multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs).

According to one embodiment, the carbon nanotube sheet 110 may be prepared on the support substrate 100. For example, the supporting substrate 100 may be a glass substrate. Alternatively, for example, the supporting substrate 100 may include a plastic substrate, a semiconductor substrate, a ceramic substrate, or a metal substrate.

Energy storage particles 120 may be provided on the carbon nanotube sheet 110 (S120). The energy storage particles 120 may have lower conductivity than the carbon nanotube sheet 110 and have a higher charge storage capacity than the carbon nanotube sheet 110. According to one embodiment, the energy storage particles 120 may comprise metal oxide particles. Specifically, for example, the energy storage particles 120 may include manganese oxide, rubidium oxide, and the like.

The step of providing the energy storage particles 120 on the carbon nanotube sheet 110 may include preparing the source solution by dispersing the energy storage particles 120 in a solvent, On a tube sheet (110). According to one embodiment, the source solution may be prepared by introducing the energy storage particles 120 into the solvent and subjecting the energy storage particles 120 to ultrasonic treatment to disperse the energy storage particles 120. For example, the solvent may be ethanol. Also, according to one embodiment, the source solution may be provided on the carbon nanotube sheet 110 by a drop casting method.

According to one embodiment, the sizes of the energy storage particles 120 in the source solution may be substantially equal to each other. Alternatively, according to another embodiment, the size of the energy storage particles 120 in the source solution may be different.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 3, the carbon nanotube sheet 110 provided with the energy storage particles 120 may be twisted to produce a base yarn 130 (S130). According to one embodiment, the step of fabricating the base fibers 130 may include using the first direction in which the plurality of carbon nanotubes extend as a rotation axis to twist the ends of the plurality of carbon nanotubes ). For example, the carbon nanotube sheet 110 provided with the energy storage particles 120 may be twisted about 2,000 times per meter.

Accordingly, the inner region of the base fiber 130 may be provided in a rolled stacked form. The energy storage particles 120 may be provided between the dried and stacked carbon nanotube sheets 110. In other words, in a case where a first plane having a normal line extending in the first direction in which the base fiber 130 extends is defined, in the cross section of the base fiber 130 cut into the first plane, A cross section of the carbon nanotube sheet 110 may be provided spirally and the energy storage particles 120 may be provided between the carbon nanotube sheets 110 in a spiral shape.

According to one embodiment, in the base fiber 130, the content of the energy storage particles 120 may be higher than the content of the carbon nanotube sheet 110.

According to one embodiment, as described above, when the energy storage particles 120 are formed using the source solution, the source solution may be formed directly after being provided on the carbon nanotube sheet 110, , The carbon nanotube sheet 110 may be twisted so that the base fiber 130 may be manufactured. In other words, before the solvent in the source solution is dried, the carbon nanotube sheet 110 may be twisted to form the base fiber 130. Accordingly, aggregation of the energy storage particles 120 can be minimized.

Unlike the embodiment of the present invention described above, the carbon nanotube sheet 110 is twisted immediately after the source solution is provided on the carbon nanotube sheet 110 so that the base fiber 130 is not produced, If the source solution is provided and additional processing is performed prior to fabricating the base fibers 130, the solvent in the source solution may be evaporated. Accordingly, the energy storage particles 120 on the carbon nanotube sheet 110 can be agglomerated with each other. As a result, the dispersion of the energy storage particles 120 in the base fiber 130 is reduced and the energy storage particles 120 are concentrated on a portion of the base fiber 130, The uniformity of the electrical, chemical, and physical properties of the electrodes 130, 130 may be reduced.

However, as described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the carbon nanotube sheet 110 is twisted directly after the source solution is provided on the carbon nanotube sheet 110, The base fibers 130 can be fabricated and thus the uniformity of the electrical, physical, and chemical properties of the base fibers 130 can be improved.

Also, as described above, before the fiber is manufactured using the carbon nanotube sheet 110, the energy storage particles 120 are provided on the carbon nanotube sheet 110, and the energy storage particles 120 may be provided on the carbon nanotube sheet 110, the carbon nanotube sheet 110 may be twisted so that the base fiber 130 may be manufactured. Accordingly, the content of the energy storage particles 120 in the base fiber 130 can be increased.

When the energy storage particles 120 are provided on the fibers after the fibers are produced from the carbon nanotube sheet 110, unlike the embodiments of the present invention described above, Is substantially located mainly on the surface of the fiber and it is not easy to fill the inner region of the fiber. Accordingly, the energy storage particles 120 may be easily separated from the fibers, or there may be a limit to increase the content of the energy storage particles 120 in the fibers. Also, as described above, it is not easy to produce the fiber having the energy storing particles 120 by a simple process of providing the source solution to the carbon nanotube sheet 110. [

However, as described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the source solution containing the energy storing particles 120 is provided on the carbon nanotube sheet 110, and the carbon nanotube sheet 110 So that the base fiber 130 can be manufactured, and thus the energy storage characteristics of the base fiber 130 can be improved. Further, a method of manufacturing the base fiber 130 in which the manufacturing process is simplified and the manufacturing cost is reduced can be provided.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 4, a plurality of the base fibers 130 may be manufactured according to the embodiment of the present invention described above. According to one embodiment, in a plurality of the base fibers 130, the amount of energy stored in the energy storage particles 120 may be substantially the same. Alternatively, according to another embodiment, in the plurality of base fibers 130, the content of the energy storage particles 120 may be different from each other.

The plurality of base fibers 130 may be twisted together to form the composite fibers 140 (S140). For example, five of the base fibers 130 may be twisted about 25,000 times per meter to produce the composite fibers 140. The composite fibers 140 in which the plurality of base fibers 130 are twisted are not only stretchable but also have a higher tensile strength than the base fibers 130.

According to an exemplary embodiment, the step of providing the energy storage particles 120 on the carbon nanotube sheet 110 may be performed such that the amount of the energy storage particles 120 in the base fiber 130 is not more than a reference amount As shown in FIG. For example, as described above, when the energy storage particles 120 are provided on the carbon nanotube sheet 110 using the source solution, the amount of the source solution and / It is possible to easily control the concentration of the energy storage particles 120 in the base fiber 130 so that the content of the energy storage particles 120 is less than the reference content. The outer surface of the base fiber 130 is blown out of the plurality of base fibers 130 and the energy storage particles 120 flow out of the outer surface of the base fiber 130, Can be minimized. According to one embodiment, the reference content may be 70 wt%.

If the energy storage particle (! 20) in the base fiber (130) exceeds the reference content, the plurality of base fibers (130) are twisted to form the composite fiber (140) The base fibers 130 may burst.

However, as described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the content of the energy storage particles 120 in the base fiber 130 can be controlled to be equal to or less than the reference content, 140 can be improved.

The plurality of composite fibers 140 may be made of an electrode fabric 150, intersecting each other, as shown in FIG. 4 (b).
