Description

蓄電裝置 Power storage device

本發明係關於蓄電裝置。 The present invention relates to a power storage device.

蓄電裝置可大致區分為:利用了伴隨著較大的物質轉換之化學反應之二次電池,以及不利用化學反應或是利用了僅伴隨著些微材料表面的物質轉換之化學反應之電容器。 Power storage devices can be roughly divided into secondary batteries that use a chemical reaction accompanied by large material conversion, and capacitors that do not use a chemical reaction or use a chemical reaction that only involves material conversion on the surface of a small material.

再者,電容器可區分為電雙層電容器(EDLC:Electric Double-layer Capacitor)以及氧化還原電容器。此等當中,二次電池與EDLC已有市售品,惟氧化還原電容器仍停留在研究階段。EDLC係作為可再生能源(風力發電、太陽能發電)的蓄電裝置而被利用成為油電混合車或電動車的輔助電源。 Furthermore, capacitors can be divided into electric double-layer capacitors (EDLC: Electric Double-layer Capacitor) and redox capacitors. Among these, secondary batteries and EDLC have been commercially available, but redox capacitors are still in the research stage. The EDLC system is used as a power storage device for renewable energy (wind power generation, solar power generation) and used as an auxiliary power source for hybrid vehicles or electric vehicles.

二次電池的放電容量大,但相反地卻在輸出、重複耐久性、充放電時間上存在著課題,此外,EDLC的輸出、重複耐久性、充放電時間優異,惟仍有放電容量小之取捨關係。氧化還原電容器可確保EDLC的輸出、重複耐久性、充放電時間之特徵,並且可改善其缺點之放電容量,因而對其積極地進行研究。 The discharge capacity of the secondary battery is large, but on the contrary, there are problems in the output, repeated durability, and charging and discharging time. In addition, the EDLC has excellent output, repeated durability, and charging and discharging time, but there is still a trade-off for small discharge capacity. relationship. Redox capacitors can ensure the characteristics of EDLC output, repeated durability, charge and discharge time, and can improve the discharge capacity of its shortcomings, so it is actively researched.

以往,氧化還原電容器的電極材料係已利用氧化釕、氧化銦、氧化錳、氧化鎳、氫氧化鎳、氧化鈷、氫氧化鈷、羥基氧化鎳等。氧化釕及氧化銦雖然能力充足,但極為昂貴而仍未達市售階段,氧化錳、氧化鎳、氫氧化鎳、氧化鈷、氫氧化鈷及羥基氧化鎳等之放電容量低。 In the past, ruthenium oxide, indium oxide, manganese oxide, nickel oxide, nickel hydroxide, cobalt oxide, cobalt hydroxide, nickel oxyhydroxide, etc. have been used as electrode materials for redox capacitors. Although ruthenium oxide and indium oxide have sufficient capacity, they are extremely expensive and have not yet reached the commercial stage. Manganese oxide, nickel oxide, nickel hydroxide, cobalt oxide, cobalt hydroxide and nickel oxyhydroxide have low discharge capacities.

於專利文獻1中係提出有使用金屬奈米線作為電容器電極。 Patent Document 1 proposes the use of metal nanowires as capacitor electrodes.

以往,於鹼性電解液中將以銅或鐵為主成分之合金形成為電極時之電容器特性,由於電容的大小及充放電特性的維持中之任一項不足,所以被認為不適合用作為在鹼性電解液中所使用之電極活性物質。 In the past, the capacitor characteristics when an alloy containing copper or iron as the main component is formed as an electrode in an alkaline electrolyte is considered to be unsuitable for use as an electrode due to insufficient capacitance and maintenance of charge and discharge characteristics. Electrode active material used in alkaline electrolyte.

下列所示之各種物性在無特別言明時,係設為在25℃所測定者。 Unless otherwise stated, the various physical properties shown below are those measured at 25°C.

〈〈〈蓄電裝置〉〉〉 〈〈〈Storage device〉〉〉

〈〈全體構成〉〉 <<Overall composition>>

如圖1所示,本發明之蓄電裝置100係具有:外輪廓體110,以及被密閉性地保持在外輪廓體110內之電極對120(第1電極121、第2電極122)及電解液130。第1電極121及第2電極122係浸漬在電解液130。第1電極121與第2電極122是以隔著電解液130被隔離之狀態被保持著。 As shown in FIG. 1, the power storage device 100 of the present invention has an outer contour body 110, and an electrode pair 120 (first electrode 121, second electrode 122) and an electrolyte 130 which are hermetically held in the outer contour body 110. . The first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122 are immersed in the electrolyte 130. The first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122 are held in a state of being isolated with the electrolyte 130 interposed therebetween.

蓄電裝置100通常是具有:用以電性連接外部電路或外部電源(圖中未顯示)與第1電極121(第2電極122)之端子140。 The power storage device 100 usually has a terminal 140 for electrically connecting an external circuit or an external power source (not shown in the figure) and the first electrode 121 (the second electrode 122).

端子140只要是形成為可導電者即可,其材質及形狀並無任何限定。端子140可與第1電極121(第2電極122)形成為一體,或是與第 1電極121(第2電極122)形成為不同個體後,使端子140與第1電極121(第2電極122)電性連接。 The terminal 140 only needs to be formed to be conductive, and its material and shape are not limited in any way. The terminal 140 may be formed integrally with the first electrode 121 (the second electrode 122), or may be connected to the first electrode 121 (the second electrode 122). After the first electrode 121 (second electrode 122) is formed as a different individual, the terminal 140 is electrically connected to the first electrode 121 (second electrode 122).

以防止第1電極121與第2電極122之電性接觸者等為目的,蓄電裝置100可於第1電極121與第2電極122之間更包含分隔片150。 For the purpose of preventing electrical contact between the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122, the power storage device 100 may further include a separator 150 between the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122.

此分隔片150可使用通常蓄電裝置所使用之分隔片(例如具有絕緣性之不織布或是具有絕緣性及離子穿透性之多孔膜等)。分隔片150的材料、厚度、大小等可因應蓄電裝置100的電構成來適當地調整。 The separator 150 can be a separator commonly used in electrical storage devices (for example, a non-woven fabric with insulation or a porous membrane with insulation and ion permeability, etc.). The material, thickness, size, etc. of the separator 150 can be appropriately adjusted according to the electrical configuration of the power storage device 100.

在以包含第1電極121、第2電極122及電解液130之電構成作為1單元時,蓄電裝置100可由複數個單元所構成。 When an electrical structure including the first electrode 121, the second electrode 122, and the electrolyte 130 is used as one unit, the power storage device 100 may be composed of a plurality of units.

於圖中雖未顯示,惟蓄電裝置100亦可構成為:將第1電極121及第2電極122形成為片狀,隔著具有絕緣性之分隔片150捲取第1電極121及第2電極122,並連同電解液130容納於外輪廓體110內之結構。藉由如此地構成,可提升每單位體積的電容。 Although not shown in the figure, the power storage device 100 may also be configured by forming the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122 into a sheet shape, and winding the first electrode 121 and the second electrode through an insulating separator 150 122, and the structure containing the electrolyte 130 in the outer contour body 110. With such a configuration, the capacitance per unit volume can be increased.

其他電構成等並無特別限定,可適用通常的蓄電裝置中所設定之條件等。 Other electrical components are not particularly limited, and conditions and the like set in ordinary power storage devices can be applied.

接著詳細說明屬於本發明的特徵部分之外輪廓體110、電極對120及電解液130。 Next, the outer contour body 110, the electrode pair 120, and the electrolyte 130 that belong to the characteristic parts of the present invention will be described in detail.

〈〈外輪廓體110〉〉 〈〈Outer contour body 110〉〉

外輪廓體110係構成為:具有絕緣性,除了端子140之外,將外輪廓體110內部與外輪廓體110外部設為無法導通,並且將第1電極121、第2電極122及電解液130保持在密閉狀態。 The outer contour body 110 is configured to have insulation properties, except for the terminals 140, the inside of the outer contour body 110 and the outside of the outer contour body 110 are made non-conductive, and the first electrode 121, the second electrode 122, and the electrolyte 130 Keep it in a closed state.

外輪廓體110的形狀及大小只要是可在其內部將第1電極121、第2電極122及電解液130保持在密閉狀態即可,並無特別限定。圖1中係將外輪廓體110形成為箱體型,惟亦可將外輪廓體110形成為圓筒狀或薄板狀,或是將外輪廓體110形成為膜狀並層合全體之構成。 The shape and size of the outer contour body 110 are not particularly limited as long as the first electrode 121, the second electrode 122, and the electrolyte 130 can be kept in a sealed state inside the outer contour body 110. In FIG. 1, the outer contour body 110 is formed into a box shape. However, the outer contour body 110 may be formed in a cylindrical shape or a thin plate shape, or the outer contour body 110 may be formed in a film shape and the whole structure is laminated.

在此所示之所謂「密閉狀態」,係表示具有防止電解液130的洩漏之水密性以及不會使外部的氣體(尤其是大氣中的二氧化碳)積極地接觸於電解液之氣密性者。藉由此構成,可防止後述電解液130的變質。此外,所謂外輪廓體110「具有絕緣性」,係表示無法導通(或難以導通)至對使用在各蓄電裝置(電晶體或二次電池等)之外輪廓體所要求的程度。 The so-called "closed state" shown here refers to those having water tightness to prevent leakage of the electrolyte 130 and air tightness to prevent external gases (especially carbon dioxide in the atmosphere) from actively contacting the electrolyte. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent the deterioration of the electrolyte solution 130 described later. In addition, the so-called “insulating property” of the outer contour 110 means that it cannot be conducted (or is difficult to conduct) to the extent required for the outer contour used in each power storage device (transistor, secondary battery, etc.).

外輪廓體110的材料只要是具有絕緣性並且可充分地保持外輪廓體110內部的密閉狀態者即可,並無特別限定,較佳係難以因電解液130而變質之材料。 The material of the outer contour body 110 is not particularly limited as long as it has insulating properties and can sufficiently maintain the airtight state inside the outer contour body 110, and it is preferably a material that is hard to be deteriorated by the electrolyte 130.

此外,為了同時達成對外輪廓體110全體所要求之性質(例如氣密性或絕緣性)以及對外輪廓體110的內部構成所要求之性質(例如難以因電解液130而變質),外輪廓體110可具有由複數層所構成之層結構。在此情形下,構成外輪廓體110的一部分之材料可包含具有導電性之材料。 In addition, in order to simultaneously achieve the properties required for the entire outer contour body 110 (for example, airtightness or insulation) and the properties required for the internal structure of the outer contour body 110 (for example, it is difficult to be deteriorated by the electrolyte 130), the outer contour body 110 It may have a layer structure composed of a plurality of layers. In this case, the material constituting a part of the outer contour body 110 may include a material having conductivity.

〈〈電極對120〉〉 〈〈Electrode pair 120〉〉

第1電極121及第2電極122的至少一者或兩者為多孔質導電體。第1電極121及第2電極122較佳係兩者皆為多孔質導電體,惟亦可是僅有任一方為多孔質導電體以外的電極結構體。 At least one or both of the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122 are porous electrical conductors. It is preferable that the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122 are both porous conductors, but only one of them may be an electrode structure other than a porous conductor.

以下說明多孔質導電體以及多孔質導電體以外的電極結構體。 Hereinafter, the porous conductor and the electrode structure other than the porous conductor will be described.

〈多孔質導電體〉 〈Porous Conductor〉

多孔質導電體意指具有導電性且其表面或包含表面及內部之多孔質導電體全體為多孔質者,該具體結構並無特別限定。 The porous conductor means one having conductivity and the entire surface or the porous conductor including the surface and the inside is porous, and the specific structure is not particularly limited.

例如,只要是粉體或纖維等之聚集體為多孔質的結構即可。在此情形下,粉體或纖維等之構成物本身可為多孔質或是非多孔質。該例可列舉出以纖維所編織之布料等,即使纖維本身非多孔質,亦可構成為於布料的表面或全體具有孔或間隙之結構。 For example, what is necessary is just to have a porous structure, such as a powder or fiber aggregate. In this case, the structure itself such as powder or fiber may be porous or non-porous. This example includes fabrics woven with fibers. Even if the fibers themselves are not porous, they can be configured to have holes or gaps on the surface or the entire fabric.

於本說明書中,在僅記載為「表面」之情形下,係包含:基材的表面、設置在基材之孔內部的表面、構成基材之構成構件本身的表面、以及形成於基材內部之與外部環境連通之孔內部等的表面。例如在以金屬纖維片作為基材之情形下,意指金屬纖維片的表面、屬於構成物之金屬纖維的表面、以及形成於金屬纖維片內部之與外部環境連通之孔內部的表面。 In this specification, when only described as "surface", it includes: the surface of the substrate, the surface provided in the pores of the substrate, the surface of the constituent member itself constituting the substrate, and the surface formed inside the substrate The surface of the inside of the hole that communicates with the external environment.

接著說明多孔質導電體的特佳型態之具有導電性奈米結構之多孔質導電體。 Next, a porous conductor with a conductive nano structure, which is a particularly preferred type of porous conductor, will be described.

(具有導電性奈米結構之多孔質導電體) (Porous conductor with conductive nano structure)

具有導電性奈米結構之多孔質導電體係以上述多孔質導電體作為基材(例如金屬纖維片),並於該基材(例如金屬纖維片)的表面上形成導電性奈米結構者。換言之,具有導電性奈米結構之多孔質導電體係包含:多孔質基材(僅改稱為上述多孔質導電體,例如金屬纖維片),以及形成於多孔質基材的表面之導電性奈米結構。 A porous conductive system with a conductive nanostructure uses the above-mentioned porous conductor as a substrate (for example, a metal fiber sheet), and a conductive nanostructure is formed on the surface of the substrate (for example, a metal fiber sheet). In other words, a porous conductive system with a conductive nanostructure includes: a porous substrate (only renamed the above-mentioned porous conductor, such as a metal fiber sheet), and conductive nanoparticles formed on the surface of the porous substrate structure.

導電性奈米結構的材質只要是可形成於多孔質導電體上之具有導電性之材質即可,並無特別限定。例如可列舉出:金屬、陶瓷、樹脂、玻璃、石墨等,此等當中,若使用至少1種材質即可。 The material of the conductive nanostructure is not particularly limited as long as it is a conductive material that can be formed on the porous conductor. For example, metals, ceramics, resins, glass, graphite, etc. may be mentioned. Among these, at least one material may be used.

此外,可藉由一般所知的方法將非導電體的材質形成為具導電性之材質。例如可列舉出離子植入有如硼般的第13族元素或磷等第15族元素之矽或金剛石等。此外,於藉由離子植入來附加導電性之方法等之可於奈米結構形成後實施之方法之情形下,在將非導電性的奈米結構形成於基材表面後,可藉由進行離子植入等來形成導電性奈米結構。 In addition, the material of the non-conductive body can be formed into a conductive material by a generally known method. For example, silicon or diamond ion-implanted with a group 13 element such as boron or a group 15 element such as phosphorus. In addition, in the case of a method that can be implemented after the formation of the nanostructure, such as the method of adding conductivity by ion implantation, after the non-conductive nanostructure is formed on the surface of the substrate, it can be performed by Ion implantation or the like to form a conductive nanostructure.

從電傳導率等電特性來看,導電性奈米結構的材質較佳為金屬,尤佳為金、鉑、銀、銅、鈷,從顯現可逆性電化學反應之特性來看,更佳為銀、銅、鈷,特佳為銅。 From the point of view of electrical characteristics such as electrical conductivity, the material of the conductive nanostructure is preferably metal, especially gold, platinum, silver, copper, and cobalt. From the point of view of the characteristics of exhibiting reversible electrochemical reactions, it is more preferred. Silver, copper, cobalt, copper is particularly preferred.

導電性奈米結構的形狀並無特別限定,可列舉出:多角形狀、圓形狀、橢圓形狀等之粒狀;多角形狀、圓形狀、橢圓形狀等之板狀;針狀;多角形狀、圓形狀、橢圓形狀等之柱狀;纖維狀;樹枝狀;結晶成長中的架構晶體形狀等,亦可為將此等形狀組合複數種之形狀(複合性結構)。 The shape of the conductive nanostructure is not particularly limited, and examples include: granular shapes such as polygonal, round, and elliptical shapes; plate shapes such as polygonal, round, and elliptical shapes; needle-like shapes; polygonal shapes and round shapes Columnar shapes such as oval and elliptical shapes; fibrous shapes; dendritic shapes; structural crystal shapes during crystal growth, etc., can also be a combination of these shapes (composite structure).

複合性結構的例子可列舉出樹枝狀,例如可形成為從纖維狀的結構中分枝,使纖維狀的結構成長,然後纖維狀的結構從纖維狀的結構 中重複地成長之結構。此複雜的重複結構可顯著地增大形成於多孔質導電體之導電性奈米結構的表面積,而能夠提升放電容量或重複耐久性。 Examples of composite structures include dendritic shapes. For example, it can be formed to branch from a fibrous structure to grow the fibrous structure, and then the fibrous structure changes from the fibrous structure A structure that grows repeatedly in the middle. This complex repeating structure can significantly increase the surface area of the conductive nanostructure formed on the porous conductor, and can increase the discharge capacity or repeat durability.

所謂奈米大小的結構,係設為構成導電性奈米結構之至少一邊的長度(剖面的直徑或短軸)未達1μm之結構。此外,同樣地,所謂微米大小的結構,係設為構成結構之一邊的長度(剖面的直徑或短軸)為0.001至1mm之結構。 The so-called nano-sized structure is a structure in which the length of at least one side (diameter or minor axis of the cross section) of the conductive nano structure is less than 1 μm. In addition, similarly, the so-called micron-sized structure is a structure in which the length of one side of the constituent structure (the diameter or the minor axis of the cross section) is 0.001 to 1 mm.

導電性奈米結構並無特別限定。例如於樹枝狀的導電性奈米結構之情形下,樹枝狀結構全體可為微米大小,且至少相當於樹枝的枝部分可為奈米大小。亦即,導電性奈米結構本身的大小並無限定,只要是至少一部分具有奈米大小的結構部分之結構即可。 The conductive nanostructure is not particularly limited. For example, in the case of a dendritic conductive nanostructure, the entire dendritic structure may be micrometer in size, and at least the branch part corresponding to a branch may be nanometer in size. That is, the size of the conductive nanostructure itself is not limited, as long as it is a structure that has at least a part of a nano-sized structure.

此外,作為其他例子,於導電性奈米結構為纖維狀之情形下,只要是至少其剖面的短徑(或短軸)為奈米大小即可,在此情形下,纖維的長度只要在不妨礙本發明的效果下,並無特別限定。例如導電性奈米結構全體的大小,亦即導電性奈米結構距離多孔質導電體表面之最長的長度可設為0.001至1000μm,較佳為0.01至500μm。 In addition, as another example, when the conductive nanostructure is fibrous, at least the minor axis (or minor axis) of the cross-section should be nanometer-sized. In this case, the length of the fiber It is not particularly limited as long as it hinders the effect of the present invention. For example, the size of the entire conductive nanostructure, that is, the longest length of the conductive nanostructure from the surface of the porous conductor can be set to 0.001 to 1000 μm, preferably 0.01 to 500 μm.

此外,於導電性奈米結構為複合性結構之情形下,構成導電性奈米結構之奈米大小的結構部分的大小,其構成奈米大小的結構之至少一邊的長度(剖面上的直徑或短軸)可設為未達1μm,較佳為1至500nm,尤佳為5至300nm。 In addition, when the conductive nanostructure is a composite structure, the size of the nano-sized structural part constituting the conductive nanostructure is the length of at least one side of the nano-sized structure (the diameter or the cross-section The short axis) can be set to less than 1 μm, preferably 1 to 500 nm, and particularly preferably 5 to 300 nm.

導電性奈米結構之大小的測定會因導電性奈米結構的大小而有所不同,可使用SEM(例如依據JIS K0132:1997)或穿透型電子顯微 鏡(TEM:依據JIS H7804:2004)等來測定。此外,亦可組合複數種測定方法。 The measurement of the size of the conductive nanostructure varies with the size of the conductive nanostructure. SEM (for example, according to JIS K0132:1997) or transmission electron microscopy can be used Mirror (TEM: in accordance with JIS H7804: 2004) and the like are measured. In addition, multiple measurement methods can also be combined.

(具有導電性奈米結構之多孔質導電體的製造方法) (Manufacturing method of porous conductor with conductive nano structure)

具有導電性奈米結構之多孔質導電體的製造方法可使用一般所知的方法。例如可列舉出:氣相反應蒸鍍法、自組裝法(self-assembly method)、使用微影技術之方法、電子束加工、FIB(Focus ion beam;聚焦離子束)加工、電化學方法等。當中尤佳為製造費用本身便宜,設備簡便且便宜之電化學方法,更佳為藉由日本專利第5574158號所進行之銅奈米結構體的製造方法等。同樣的,亦可較佳地使用日本國際公開第2019/059238號所揭示之方法。 The method for producing a porous conductor having a conductive nanostructure can use a generally known method. For example, gas phase reaction evaporation method, self-assembly method, method using lithography technology, electron beam processing, FIB (Focus ion beam; focused ion beam) processing, electrochemical method, etc. can be cited. Among them, the electrochemical method with cheap manufacturing cost, simple and inexpensive equipment is particularly preferred, and the method for manufacturing copper nanostructures by Japanese Patent No. 5574158 is more preferred. Similarly, the method disclosed in Japanese International Publication No. 2019/059238 can also be preferably used.

下列係說明屬於合適例子之依據三電極法所進行之銅之奈米結構物的形成方法。 The following is a suitable example for the formation of copper nanostructures based on the three-electrode method.

如圖2所示,係採用由電源、具備工作電極與對向電極之主室、副室、鹽橋及參考電極所構成之三電極式單元裝置。 As shown in Figure 2, a three-electrode unit device consisting of a power supply, a main chamber with a working electrode and a counter electrode, a sub-chamber, a salt bridge, and a reference electrode is used.

電源並無特別限定,較佳為恆電位器。恆電位器為使工作電極的電位相對於參考電極成為一定之裝置,其係正確地測量工作電極與對向電極間之電位,並且使電流幾乎不往參考電極流動之架構。在未使用恆電位器之情形下,必須另外進行相同的調整。 The power source is not particularly limited, but a potentiostat is preferred. The potentiostat is a device that makes the potential of the working electrode relative to the reference electrode constant. It is a structure that accurately measures the potential between the working electrode and the counter electrode, and makes almost no current flow to the reference electrode. If the potentiostat is not used, the same adjustment must be made separately.

將多孔質導電體作為工作電極。對向電極並無特別限定,可使用一般所知的材質。例如可列舉出鉑。參考電極只要是一般所知的參考電極即可,並無特別限定,例如可列舉出飽和甘汞電極。 Use a porous conductor as a working electrode. The counter electrode is not particularly limited, and generally known materials can be used. For example, platinum can be cited. The reference electrode is not particularly limited as long as it is a generally known reference electrode. For example, a saturated calomel electrode can be cited.

於主室中,係於蒸餾水中注入由屬於銅錯合物之硫酸四氨銅(II)或硫酸銅(II)、硫酸鋰、及氨水所調製之電解液,於副室中,係於蒸餾水中注入由硫酸鋰及氨水所調製之電解液。 In the main chamber, an electrolyte prepared by copper (II) tetraammonium sulfate or copper (II) sulfate, lithium sulfate, and ammonia, which is a copper complex, is injected into distilled water. In the auxiliary chamber, it is connected to distilled water. Inject the electrolyte prepared by lithium sulfate and ammonia water.

對參考電極施加-1.0V至-2.0V並通電0.10至20C/cm2的電量,藉此使硫酸四氨銅(II)或硫酸銅(II)進行二電子還原,使銅析出於作為工作電極的前述多孔質導電體而形成奈米結構。此時進行0.1至120分鐘的通電,可得到在表面及內部具有導電性奈米結構之多孔質導電體。 Applying -1.0V to -2.0V to the reference electrode and energizing the electricity of 0.10 to 20C/cm 2 , thereby causing copper tetraammonium sulfate (II) or copper sulfate (II) to undergo two-electron reduction, so that copper is precipitated as a working electrode The aforementioned porous conductor forms a nanostructure. At this time, conduct electricity for 0.1 to 120 minutes to obtain a porous electrical conductor with a conductive nanostructure on the surface and inside.

多孔質導電體以外的電極結構體可使用以往蓄電裝置所使用之導電板等。 For electrode structures other than the porous conductors, conductive plates and the like used in conventional electricity storage devices can be used.

此等電極材料可與多孔質導電體同樣地採用以鐵或銅作為主成分之金屬材料,除此之外,亦可使用:鋁、鎳、鈦、金、銀、鉑、鈷、鉛及鋅或含有此等之合金等之金屬材料,或是活性碳等碳材料等。 These electrode materials can be made of metal materials with iron or copper as the main component in the same way as porous conductors. In addition, they can also be used: aluminum, nickel, titanium, gold, silver, platinum, cobalt, lead, and zinc Or metal materials containing these alloys, or carbon materials such as activated carbon.

第1電極121及第2電極122的形狀及大小(面積及厚度)、第1電極121及第2電極122的隔間距離等,可因應蓄電裝置100的電構成來適當地調整。 The shape and size (area and thickness) of the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122, the distance between the first electrode 121 and the second electrode 122, and the like can be adjusted appropriately according to the electrical configuration of the power storage device 100.

〈〈電解液130〉〉 〈Electrolyte 130〉〉

電解液130典型而言為含有氫氧化鉀水溶液、氫氧化鈉水溶液、氫氧化鋰水溶液等鹼金屬的氫氧化物作為溶質之鹼性電解液,惟亦可為氫氧化銨、氫氧化四烷基銨的水溶液、鹼土金屬的氫氧化物的水溶液等。 The electrolyte 130 is typically an alkaline electrolyte containing alkali metal hydroxides such as potassium hydroxide aqueous solution, sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, and lithium hydroxide aqueous solution as the solute, but it can also be ammonium hydroxide or tetraalkyl hydroxide. Aqueous solutions of ammonium, aqueous solutions of alkaline earth metal hydroxides, etc.

在電解液為氫氧化鉀水溶液、氫氧化鈉水溶液、氫氧化鋰水溶液之情形下,電解液130中之鹼金屬離子的莫耳濃度會因電極材質而使 較佳範圍有所不同,惟較佳為0.1至5mol/L,尤佳為0.1至1mol/L,更佳為0.2至1mol/L。 When the electrolyte is potassium hydroxide aqueous solution, sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, or lithium hydroxide aqueous solution, the molar concentration of alkali metal ions in the electrolyte 130 will be affected by the electrode material.

詳細而言,於多孔質導電體以鐵為主成分之情形下,電解液130之鹼金屬離子的莫耳濃度較佳為0.1至5mol/L。此外,於多孔質導電體以銅為主成分之情形下,電解液130之鹼金屬離子的莫耳濃度較佳為0.1至1mol/L。 In detail, in the case where the porous conductor contains iron as the main component, the molar concentration of alkali metal ions in the electrolyte 130 is preferably 0.1 to 5 mol/L. In addition, in the case where the porous conductor contains copper as the main component, the molar concentration of alkali metal ions in the electrolyte 130 is preferably 0.1 to 1 mol/L.

〈〈〈發明之效果〉〉〉 〈〈〈Effect of Invention〉〉〉

鐵或銅等係便宜且容易取得,另一方面卻容易反應而難以控制反應,所以為不適合作為蓄電裝置的電極材料之材料。雖可考量藉由將蓄電裝置的電解液作為鹼電解質以控制反應,惟在此情形下會產生蓄電裝置的急遽劣化,而導致重複耐久性惡化之結果。尤其在將電極材料作為多孔質材料之情形下,雖有利於初期放電容量的提升,另一方面卻無法避免急遽的劣化。 Iron, copper, etc. are cheap and easy to obtain. On the other hand, they are easy to react and difficult to control the reaction. Therefore, they are not suitable materials for electrode materials of power storage devices. Although it can be considered that the electrolyte of the power storage device is used as an alkaline electrolyte to control the reaction, in this case, rapid deterioration of the power storage device will occur, resulting in repeated durability deterioration. In particular, when the electrode material is used as a porous material, although it is beneficial to increase the initial discharge capacity, on the other hand, rapid deterioration cannot be avoided.

本發明人們係詳細地探討實驗結果,發現到於構成蓄電裝置時,若電解液的密封不足,電解液130會吸附氣體中的二氧化碳,結果使電解液130變質(電解液130的pH降低),對鐵及銅之作用產生變化,而暗示產生急遽的電極劣化之可能性。 The inventors studied the experimental results in detail and found that if the electrolyte is not sealed enough to form an electrical storage device, the electrolyte 130 will adsorb carbon dioxide in the gas, and as a result, the electrolyte 130 will be deteriorated (the pH of the electrolyte 130 will decrease). Changes in the effects of iron and copper, suggesting the possibility of rapid electrode deterioration.

根據此發現,在形成本發明之構成時,首先係使用鐵或銅(或是鐵合金、銅合金),同時也將氧化還原反應所需之銅、鐵等留置在電極,而變得能夠重複進行氧化還原反應(充放電反應),因而達成銅、鐵等對蓄電 裝置之應用。其結果可提供一種便宜並且具有穩定且優異的電特性(高放電容量與重複耐久性)之蓄電裝置100。 Based on this finding, when forming the structure of the present invention, iron or copper (or iron alloy, copper alloy) is first used, and copper, iron, etc. required for the oxidation-reduction reaction are also left in the electrode, so that it can be repeated. Oxidation-reduction reaction (charge-discharge reaction), thus achieving the effect of copper, iron, etc. on the storage of electricity Application of the device. As a result, it is possible to provide an electricity storage device 100 that is inexpensive and has stable and excellent electrical characteristics (high discharge capacity and repetitive durability).
