It is not. Wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout.

Due to its high specific surface area and electrical conductivity, graphene can be widely used as a secondary battery material including an ultracapacitor. However, graphenes require the use of a large number of binders in the case of a coating method or an electrode in the form of a rubber (sheet), and a re-layering occurs between graphenes during the rolling and drying process, Which causes a decrease in non-storage capacity and output characteristics when applied to a capacitor.

Therefore, in the present invention, graphen oxide having a relatively larger weight than graphene is used by the functional group to minimize the content of the binder, thereby forming an electrode, and an electrode is formed by thermally reducing the electrode- And to simplify the electrode process.

When the electrode is manufactured, the graphite oxide is peeled off to prepare graphene oxide, and the graphene is produced by reducing the graphene oxide. Then, the electrode composition containing the graphene is coated on the current collector or made of rubber (sheet) It is generally required to use a relatively large amount of binder due to the high specific surface area of graphene as a binder used in the production of an activated carbon electrode for an ultracapacitor. The re-stacking between the graphenes in the process results in a reduction in specific surface area and electrical conductivity of the graphene, resulting in a decrease in the non-storage capacity and output characteristics of the ultracapacitor.

Accordingly, in the present invention, it is possible to manufacture a rubber (sheet) electrode in the form of graphene oxide, which is a step prior to reduction to graphene, to minimize the amount of binder required for electrode formation, , It is possible to prevent re-layering between graphenes. By preventing the phenomenon of graphene from being redeposited, it is useful to take advantage of inherent properties such as excellent conductivity and high specific surface area of graphene.

The step of forming the graphite oxide comprises mixing graphite, H 2 SO 4 , K 2 S 2 O 8 and P 2 O 5 with stirring, cooling the resultant mixture to room temperature, adding and leaving distilled water, , that by selectively separating the precipitate from the left output stage and, optionally dispersing the precipitate came up separated in distilled water, H 2 SO 4 and KMnO adding a 4 and H 2 SO 4 and KMnO 4 was added resulting Adding H 2 O 2 to the solution to which distilled water has been additionally added to cause the color of the solution to change to bright yellow while bubbling occurs, and selectively separating the precipitate from the solution changed to bright yellow.

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

The carbon material is generally classified into three-dimensional diamond and graphite, two-dimensional graphene, one-dimensional carbon nanotube, and zero-dimensional buckyball depending on its structure. 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.

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 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 about 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%.

Generally, top-down graphene production methods using graphite can be classified into three types of mechanical peeling, chemical peeling, and non-oxidative peeling.

Mechanical exfoliation refers to the removal of mechanical forces from graphite crystals consisting of van der Waals weak bonds. As if a thin film peeled off smoothly from a pencil lead and the writing was written, it was made from graphene using graphite crystals. This method is possible because electrons of the π-orbital of graphene spread widely on the surface and have a smooth surface.

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.

In general, graphite oxide is readily dispersible in water (distilled water) and is present as a thin film plate (graphite oxide consisting of tens to hundreds of layers) negatively charged in a polar solvent. A stripping process is required to form the dispersed graphite oxide thin film plate with graphene oxide.

The most widely used exfoliation method is ultrasonicagitation, and there is a method of separating the layer of expanded graphite oxide through rapid heating. Graphite oxide is made in the form of a brown viscous slurry and is formed from graphite oxide, a stripped thin film oxidation plate, a piece of unoxidized graphite, and residues of oxidizing agent. Graphite oxide is subjected to purification through centrifugation and the like. The refined graphite oxide is peeled off in the form of graphene oxide through ultrasonic treatment.

Hereinafter, the method of forming graphene oxide will be described in more detail. However, the method of synthesizing graphene oxide is not limited to the method described later.

Graphite, H 2 SO 4 , K 2 S 2 O 8 and P 2 O 5 are mixed at a temperature higher than room temperature (for example, 60 to 99 ° C) while stirring. Wherein the K 2 S 2 O 8 and P 2 O 5 are mixed in a weight ratio of 1: 0.1 to 10, and the H 2 SO 4 is mixed with the total content of K 2 S 2 O 8 and P 2 O 5 by 1 : 1 to 20 by volume. The resultant mixture is reacted at a temperature higher than room temperature by using a hot plate or the like. The temperature is preferably about 60 to about 99 DEG C, and the reaction is preferably performed for about 1 to about 48 hours.

Cool the resulting mixture to room temperature, add distilled water, and allow to stand. It is preferable that the abovementioned leaving is performed for about 6 to 72 hours.

The precipitate is selectively separated from the neglected result.

Selective precipitate is washed with distilled water to remove remaining acid or base. The precipitate is dispersed in distilled water and H 2 SO 4 and KMnO 4 are added. H 2 SO 4 and KMnO 4 are preferably added slowly at a temperature lower than room temperature (for example, -5 ° C to 4 ° C).

Add H 2 SO 4 and KMnO 4 to distilled water and add H 2 O 2 to distilled water to make the solution yellow.

The precipitate is selectively separated from the solution which turns bright yellow. Selective precipitate is washed with distilled water to remove remaining acid or base. In this way, graphite oxide can be obtained.

The graphite oxide is peeled off from a polar solvent containing water (distilled water) by ultrasonic waves to form a graphene oxide dispersion. The graphite oxide is peeled off by ultrasonic treatment to obtain a graphene oxide dispersion. The graphene oxide may be in the form of a single layer, a bilayer, or a multilayer. The polar solvent may be an amide type such as dimethylformamide (DMF), a pyrrolidone type such as N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), an alcohol type such as ethanol, a dimethylsulfoxide ; DMSO), nitrile such as acetonitrile, ketone such as acetone, tetrahydrofuran (THF), ether such as diethylether, toluene (toluene) toluene, and 1,2-dichlorobenzene (DCB), it is more effective to use a solvent having a high polarity and particularly a hydrogen bond.

A solvent and a binder are mixed in the graphene oxide dispersion to form a paste composition for electrodes.

The binder is preferably mixed in an amount of 1 to 20 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the graphene oxide (solid content). The binder may be selected from the group consisting of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyvinyl butyral polyvinyl butyral (PVB), poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone (PVP), styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), polyamide-imide, polyimide, And the like can be used alone or in combination.

The dispersion medium may be an organic solvent such as ethanol (EtOH), acetone, isopropyl alcohol, N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), propylene glycol (PG) or water.

Since the electrode composition is in the paste form, uniform mixing (complete dispersion) may be difficult. When the mixture is stirred for a predetermined time (for example, 1 minute to 12 hours) using a mixer such as a high-speed mixer, Can be obtained.

The composition for electrode comprising the graphene oxide is formed into an ultracapacitor electrode. The electrode composition may be formed into an electrode shape by pressing the electrode composition, or may be formed into an electrode shape by coating the electrode composition with a metal foil. Alternatively, the electrode composition may be rolled into a sheet state, .

More specifically explaining an example of formation in an electrode form, the electrode composition can be pressed (rolled) by using a roll press molding machine. The roll press forming machine aims at improving the electrode density through rolling and controlling the thickness of the electrode. The roll press forming machine is provided with a controller capable of controlling the thickness and heating temperature of rolls and rolls at the upper and lower ends, ≪ / RTI > As the electrode in the roll state passes the roll press, the rolling process is carried out and the roll is rolled again to complete the electrode. At this time, the pressing pressure of the press is preferably 1 to 20 ton / cm 2, and the roll temperature is preferably 40 to 150 캜. It is possible to reduce the non-storage capacity and the output characteristics when applied to an ultracapacitor because the re-layering between graphenes occurs at the time of rolling using the composition for electrode including graphene. However, in the case of the present invention, The graphene oxide constituting the composition for use in the present invention is in an oxide state, and the graphene oxide and the graphene oxide are not chemically bonded to each other, and the graphene oxides in the layered structure are kept apart from each other, Do not.

In order to reduce the graphene oxide to graphene, an electrode-shaped molded article containing the graphene oxide is subjected to reduction heat treatment to form an electrode for an ultracapacitor. The reduction heat treatment is preferably performed in a vacuum atmosphere at a temperature of 150 ° C to 350 ° C. The reduction heat treatment is preferably performed at the above temperature for about 10 minutes to 48 hours. Such a reduction heat treatment step improves the strength of the electrode for an ultracapacitor while simultaneously drying the composition for electrode (evaporation of the dispersion medium).

The electrode for an ultracapacitor manufactured as described above can be applied to a small coin type ultracapacitor with a high capacity.
