Definitions
- the present invention relates to a capacitor used as a device for storing electrical energy and a method for manufacturing the same.
- Electrodes have recently attracted attention because of their large capacitance among various capacitors.
- capacitors are widely used for memory backup of electrical equipment, and in recent years, the use of electric double layer capacitors has been promoted for this purpose as well. Further, it is expected to be used for vehicles such as hybrid vehicles and fuel vehicles.
- the button type is, for example, a pair of polarizable electrodes provided with activated carbon electrodes on a current collector, and a separator is arranged between the electrodes to constitute an electric double layer capacitor element, which is housed in a metal case together with an electrolyte, It is manufactured by sealing with a sealing material and a gasket that insulates both.
- a pair of polarizable electrodes and a separator are overlapped and wound to form an electric double layer capacitor element.
- the element is impregnated with an electrolytic solution and accommodated in an Al case, and sealed with a sealing material. It is manufactured by.
- the basic structure of the square type is the same as that of the button type or cylindrical type.
- the electric double layer capacitor used for the above-mentioned memory backup use and automobile use is required to have a higher capacity. That is, it is required to increase the capacity per unit volume and reduce the internal resistance. For this reason, various types of current collectors constituting the electrodes have been proposed.

- the conventional capacitor has a problem in that, when the capacity is increased, the internal resistance increases and the capacity does not increase. That is, in the structure where the shape of the current collector is a two-dimensional structure and the activated carbon sheet is attached to the current collector, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the activated carbon sheet in order to increase the capacity density. However, if this is done, the distance between the current collector and the activated carbon becomes long, so that the electrical resistance increases at a location away from the current collector, the utilization rate of the activated carbon decreases, and the capacity density also decreases. As for internal resistance reduction, when a conductive additive is added to improve electric resistance, the amount of activated carbon is reduced, so that the capacity density is also reduced.

- the porous resin can be coated with Al by a vapor phase method such as vapor deposition or sputtering, or by a plating method using a molten salt, but it is necessary to heat the resin in the atmosphere to remove the resin. Is oxidized and cannot be used as a current collector.
- Stainless steel is also widely used as a material for the positive electrode current collector, but for the same reason as stainless steel, it is difficult to make a current collector with a large porosity by plating the surface of the organic resin. .
- As for stainless steel there is provided a method for obtaining a porous material by applying it to a powdered organic resin porous material and sintering it, but stainless steel powder is very expensive.
- the organic resin porous body which is a base material is incinerated and removed after the powder adheres, there is a problem that the strength of the obtained stainless steel porous body is deteriorated and cannot be used.

図1に示すキャパシタ100は、正極10と負極20とで電解質層30を挟み込んだ構成を備える。正極10は、正極本体10Aと、正極本体10Aを支持する基板10Bとを備え、負極20は、負極本体20Aと、負極本体20Aを支持する基板20Bとを備える。なお、基板10B,20Bは省略可能である。以下、このキャパシタ100の各構成を詳細に説明する。
正極10の正極本体10Aは、例えば、ポリエチレンシートなどの絶縁性の基板10B上に樹脂製接着剤を介して固定される。この正極本体10Aは、その内部に形成される気孔同士が連通し、独立した気孔が殆ど存在しないAl多孔体11と、このAl多孔体11に保持されて、電解質を分極させる電極材料とを備える。ここで、電極材料の構成には大きく分けて2種類あり、各構成については後段で図1(B)、(C)を参照して説明する。まず、Al多孔体11について図2,3を参照して詳細に説明する。
Al多孔体11は、Alを主成分とする多孔体である。Al多孔体11の不純物が多くなると、キャパシタ100の高電圧での動作が安定しなかったり、Al多孔体11の強度が不足したりする。このため、Al多孔体11は、Al含有量が95質量%以上であることが好ましい。
製造方法:連通孔を有する樹脂体の樹脂表面にAl層を形成した後、その樹脂体を溶融塩に浸漬した状態で、Alの標準電極電位より卑な電位をAl層に印加しながらAlの融点以下の温度に加熱して、樹脂体を熱分解する。
この上記Al多孔体の製造方法について、図2を参照しながら説明する。
図2(A)は、連通孔を有する樹脂体1fの一部拡大断面を示し、樹脂体1fは、樹脂1を骨格として連通孔が形成されている。連通孔を有する樹脂体1fとしては、発泡樹脂の他、樹脂繊維からなる不織布を用いることができる。樹脂体1fを構成する樹脂としては、Alの融点以下の加熱温度で熱分解が可能なものであればよく、例えば、ポリウレタン、ポリプロピレン、ポリエチレンなどが挙げられる。特に、発泡ウレタンは、気孔率が高く、気孔径が均一で、気孔の連通性や熱分解性に優れることから、発泡ウレタンを樹脂体1fに使用することが好ましい。また、樹脂体1fの気孔径は5μm~800μm程度、気孔率は80%~98%程度の範囲が好ましく、最終的に得られるAl多孔体11の気孔径と気孔率とは、樹脂体1fの気孔径と気孔率とに影響を受ける。そこで、作製するAl多孔体11の気孔径と気孔率とに応じて、樹脂体1fの気孔径と気孔率とを決定する。
図2(B)は、連通孔を有する樹脂体の樹脂1表面にAl層2が形成された状態(Al層被膜樹脂体3)を示す。Al層2の形成方法としては、例えば、(i)真空蒸着法、スパッタリング法もしくはレーザーアブレーション法などに代表される気相法(PVD法)、(ii)めっき法、(iii)ペースト塗布法などが挙げられる。
真空蒸着法では、例えば、原料のAlに電子ビームを照射してAlを溶融・蒸発させ、連通孔を有する樹脂体1fの樹脂表面にAlを付着させることにより、Al層2を形成することができる。スパッタリング法では、例えば、Alのターゲットにプラズマ照射してAlを気化させ、連通孔を有する樹脂体1fの樹脂表面にAlを付着させることにより、Al層2を形成することができる。レーザーアブレーション法では、例えば、レーザ照射によりAlを溶融・蒸発させ、連通孔を有する樹脂体1fの樹脂表面にAlを付着させることにより、Al層2を形成することができる。
水溶液中でAlをめっきすることは、実用上ほとんど不可能であるため、溶融塩中でAlをめっきする溶融塩電解めっき法により、連通孔を有する樹脂体1fの樹脂表面にAl層2を形成することができる。この場合、予め樹脂表面を導電化処理した後、溶融塩中でAlをめっきすることが好ましい。
ペースト塗布法では、例えば、Al粉末、結着剤(バインダ)、及び有機溶剤を混合したAlペーストを用いる。そして、Alペーストを樹脂表面に塗布した後、加熱することにより、バインダと有機溶剤とを消失させると共に、Alペーストを焼結させる。この焼結は、1回で行っても、複数回に分けて行ってもよい。例えば、Alペーストの塗布後、低温で加熱して有機溶剤を消失させた後、溶融塩に浸漬した状態で加熱することにより、樹脂体1fの熱分解と同時にAlペーストの焼結を行うことも可能である。また、この焼結は、非酸化性雰囲気化で行うことが好ましい。
図2(C)は、図2(B)に示すAl層被膜樹脂体3から樹脂1を熱分解して、Al層2を残して樹脂を消失させた状態(Al多孔体11)を示す。樹脂体1f(樹脂1)の熱分解は、溶融塩に浸漬した状態で、Al層2に卑な電位を印加しながらAlの融点以下の温度に加熱することにより行う。例えば、図3に示すように、樹脂表面にAl層を形成した樹脂体(即ち、Al層被膜樹脂体3)及び対極(正極)5を溶融塩6に浸漬し、Alの標準電極電位より卑な電位をAl層に印加する。溶融塩中でAl層に卑な電位を印加することで、Al層の酸化を確実に防止することができる。ここで、Al層に印加する電位は、Alの標準電極電位より卑で、かつ溶融塩のカチオンの還元電位より貴とする。また、対極には、溶融塩に対し不溶性を示すものであればよく、例えば、白金、チタンなどを用いることができる。
電極材料には、(i)図1(B)に示すようにAl多孔体11の表面に膜状に形成されてなる構成と、(ii)図1(C)に示すようにAl多孔体11の気孔に充填されてなる構成と、の2つがある。以下、両構成を場合分けして説明する。
図1(B)に示す薄膜状の電極材料12は、上述したAl多孔体11の表面上に形成され、固体電解質のマトリックス中に、微細な導電微粒子が分散した構造を有することが好ましい。導電微粒子は、電解質イオンを吸着・保持するためのものである。この導電微粒子の構成元素としては、Cを用いることが好ましい。また、固体電解質としては、例えば、Li2S-P2S5などの硫化物を好適に利用することができる。このLi2S-P2S5に、P2O5などの酸化物を添加して、硫化物固体電解質の化学的安定性を向上させても良い。その場合、硫化物固体電解質におけるOの含有量が10原子%を超えないようにすることが好ましい。O含有量が10原子%を超えると、電解質(Li)イオンの拡散速度が低下し、電圧印加に対する電解質の分極の応答速度が低下する恐れがある。
図1(C)に示す充填されてなる電極材料13は、上述したAl多孔体11の気孔に充填された導電微粒子13Aと電解質微粒子13Bを含む構成とすることができる。導電微粒子13Aや電解質微粒子13Bの材質には、膜状に形成されてなる電極材料12と同様のものを使用すれば良い。
正極10上に形成される電解質層30は、正極10と負極20とを絶縁する層である。この電解質層30は、固体電解質を含む層であっても良いし、Li塩を含む電解液とセパレータとの組み合わせからなる層であっても良い。
固体電解質に求められる特性は低電子伝導性で、かつ電解質イオンの伝導性に優れることであり、例えば、Li2S-P2S5などの硫化物を用いることができる。電解質層30を構成する固体電解質は、正極10の固体電解質と同じ材質とすることが好ましい。その場合、キャパシタ100全体で、電解質イオンの移動抵抗が均質的になるので、キャパシタ100の応答性などの性能を向上させることができる。
一方、電解液とセパレータとの組み合わせからなる電解質層30の場合、電解液には水系の電解液・非水系の電解液ともに使用できる。特に、非水電解液の方が電圧を高く設定できるため好ましい。水系では電解質として水酸化カリウムなどが使用できる。非水電解質はカチオンとアニオンの組み合わせで多数有り、カチオンとしては低級脂肪族4級アンモニウム、低級脂肪族4級ホスホニウム及びイミダゾリニウム等が使用されている。アニオンとしては4フッ化ホウ酸及び6フッ化リン酸等が使用されている。有機電解液の溶媒は極性非プロトン性有機溶媒であり、具体的にはエチレンカーボネート、プロピレンカーボネート、γ-ブチロラクトン及びスルホラン等が使用される。この中でも、イオン伝導度の低い組み合わせである、ホウフッ化テトラエチルアンモニウムとプロピレンカーボネートの組み合わせが好ましい。
本実施形態における負極20は、正極10と同じ構成のものを使用できる。例えば、負極20から電解質層30を介して正極10に至るまで共通の硫化物固体電解質を使用すれば、キャパシタ100の応答性などの性能を向上させることができる。なお、負極20を正極10と異なる材料、異なる成膜条件で作製しても良い。
ファラデー電極の一例として、負極用金属多孔体と、その負極用金属多孔体に保持される、Liイオンを吸蔵・離脱できる負極用電極材料と、を備える構成を挙げることができる。負極用金属多孔体には、以下に述べるNi多孔体を利用することができる。Ni多孔体は、非水系電解液を用いたキャパシタ100における正極10の集電体としては耐食性の観点から不向きであるが、負極20としてなら利用可能である。
発泡状Niは、発泡状樹脂の表面にNi被覆層を形成したのち、基材である樹脂を除去し、次いで必要に応じて還元性雰囲気中で加熱処理してNiを還元することにより得られる。
不織布状Niは、樹脂不織布の表面にNi被覆層を形成したのち、基材である樹脂を除去し、次いで必要に応じて還元性雰囲気中で加熱処理してNiを還元することにより得られる。
負極活物質は、リチウムイオンを吸蔵脱離できる金属粉末を溶媒に混ぜ、混合機で攪拌することにより得られる。必要に応じて導電助剤、バインダを含んでもよい。
ファラデー電極の他の例として、金属箔と、その金属箔の表面に塗布された、Liイオンを吸蔵・離脱できる負極用電極材料と、を備える構成としても良い。この場合、金属箔が負極の集電体として機能する。
以上説明したように作製されたキャパシタ100は、大きな集電面積を備えるAl多孔体11であって、かつ高抵抗の酸化層が殆ど形成されていないAl多孔体11を備えるため、従来のキャパシタよりも大きな容量を備える。その結果、キャパシタ100は、電気機器のバックアップ電源など、種々の用途に好適に利用可能である。
上記実施形態で示したAl多孔体11と、比較となる従来のAl多孔体を作製し、各多孔体を用いて図1に示すキャパシタ100を作製した。そして、それらキャパシタ100の容量(F)を実際に測定した。
図2(A)に示すように、樹脂体1fとして、気孔率:約97%、気孔径:約15μm、厚さ:約0.1mmのポリウレタンフォーム(発泡ウレタン)を用意した。
比較として、実施形態のAl多孔体とは製造方法が異なるAl多孔体も作製した。この比較のAl多孔体は、樹脂体の樹脂表面にAl層を形成するまでは実施形態のAl多孔体と同じ製造方法にてAl層被膜樹脂体を作製し、その後の樹脂体を熱分解する工程を変更することで作製した。具体的には、Al層被膜樹脂体を大気中550℃で熱処理することにより、樹脂体を熱分解して樹脂を消失させた。この比較のAl多孔体の気孔率は95%、気孔径は15μm、厚さは0.1mmであった。
次に、作製した実施形態のAl多孔体11と比較のAl多孔体のいずれかを用いて図1(B)に示す薄膜型の電極材料12を有する図1(A)のキャパシタ100、もしくは図1(C)に示す充填型の電極材料13を有する図1(A)のキャパシタ100を作製した。

なお、電極の形成では、電解質原料と導電微粒子原料とを交互にレーザ照射して形成した。例えば、電解質原料に対して10秒間、導電微粒子原料に対して10秒間、交互にレーザ照射を繰り返し、所定の厚さまで形成する。

電解質層30…φ10mm、厚さ1μm

以下に示す3種類の電極A~Cを作製し、それらを組み合わせてキャパシタを作製した。そして、作製したキャパシタの静電容量と耐久性を評価した。
(集電体の作製)
発泡樹脂として、気孔率97%、気孔径約300μmのポリウレタンフォームを準備し、20mm角に切断した。ポリウレタンフォームの表面にAlを蒸着し、厚み15μmのAl層を形成した。
ローラープレスのギャップを700μmに調節し、得られた集電体aを通し、厚さ0.72mmの集電体を得た。
集電体として、Al箔(市販品、厚さ20μm)を用いた。電極Aの作製の際に用意したものと同じ活性炭ペーストをドクターブレード法により両面合計が8mg/cm2となるように塗着したが、接着強度が不十分であるため、活物質が十分にAl箔に接着できなかった。
集電体として、発泡状Ni(市販品、Ni目付400g/m2、気孔率96体積%、気孔径450μm、厚さ1.4mm)を用いた。これに電極Aの作製の際に用意したものと同じ活性炭ペーストを電極Aと同様にして充填した後、さらに加圧及び乾燥することにより、比較例2の電極Cを作製した。活性炭の充填量は29mg/cm2、加圧後の電極の厚さは475μmとなった。
上記電極A~Cをそれぞれ直径14mmに打ち抜き(2枚)、セルロース繊維製セパレータ(厚さ60μm、密度450mg/cm3、気孔率70%)を挟み、これらの電極を対向させた。この状態で180℃、12時間減圧下で乾燥した。その後、ステンレススチール製スペーサを用いてR2032サイズのコインセルケースに収納し、非水電解液にホウフッ化テトラエチルアンモニウムを1mol/Lとなるように溶解したプロピレンカーボネート溶液を、電極及びセパレータに含浸した。さらに、プロピレン製の絶縁ガスケットを介してケース蓋を締めて封口して、コイン形の試験用電気二重層キャパシタAA、BB、CC(それぞれ電極A~Cに対応)を作製した。定格電圧は2.5Vとした。
キャパシタAA~CC、ACをそれぞれ10個作製し、65℃で2.5Vの電圧を6時間印加してエージングを行った後、25℃にして2.5Vを開始電圧として1mAの電流で放電を行い、初期静電容量及び内部抵抗を調べた。単位面積当たりの静電容量、単位体積あたりの静電容量および内部抵抗の平均値を表2に示す。キャパシタCCは、10セル全数でエージングの電圧が2.5Vまで達せず、放電もわずかな時間しかできなかったため、静電容量や内部抵抗を求められなかった。
次に、キャパシタ特性として重要な耐久性を調べた。高電圧で保持されたときの耐久性は、バックアップ用などの用途で重要である。なお、キャパシタCCについては以降の試験は実施していない。
別の耐久性評価法として充放電サイクル特性を調べた。サイクル特性はセルの寿命を現す重要な指標である。条件として、雰囲気温度45℃で0.5~2.5Vの間で1mAの定電流による充放電サイクルを1万回繰り返し、1万サイクル後の放電容量及び内部抵抗を測定し、初期特性と比較して評価を行った。
以下に示す3種類の正極A~Cと、負極A’を作製し、それらを組み合わせてキャパシタAA’,BA’,CA’,AAを作製した。そして、作製したキャパシタの静電容量と耐久性を評価した。
(正極Aの作製)
試験例2で作製したものと全く同じ集電体aと活物質ペーストを用意した。次に、ローラープレスのギャップを700μmに調節し、用意した集電体aを通して、厚さ0.72mmの正極集電体を得た。そして、この正極集電体aに活性炭ペーストを、活性炭の含有量が30mg/cm2となるように充填した。実際の充填量は31mg/cm2であった。次に、乾燥機で200℃、1時間乾燥させて溶媒を除去した後、直径500ミリのローラープレス機(ギャップ:300μm)で加圧して正極Aを得た。加圧後の厚さは473μmであった。
Liを吸蔵・脱離できる天然黒鉛粉末100重量部に、導電助剤としてケッチェンブラック(KB)2重量部、バインダとしてポリフッ化ビニリデン粉末4重量部、溶媒としてN-メチルピロリドン(NMP)15重量部を添加し、混合機で攪拌することにより、黒鉛系負極ペーストを調製した。
正極A及び負極A’をドライルーム中(露点-65℃)にうつし、さらに180℃で12時間、減圧環境で乾燥した。得られた正極A及び負極A’を直径14mmに打ち抜き、その後、負極A’に厚さ15μmのLi金属箔を圧着した。
(正極Bの作製)
正極集電体として、Al箔(市販品、厚さ20μm)を用いた。キャパシタAA’で用意したものと同じ正極活物質ペーストをドクターブレード法により両面合計が8mg/cm2となるように塗着したが、接着強度が不十分であるため、正極活質が十分にAl箔に接着できなかった。そこで、ポリフッ化ビニリデンを乾燥後で20質量%になるように調整した以外はキャパシタAA’で作製したのと同様の正極活物質ペーストを作製した。このペーストをドクターブレード法により、Al箔の両面に塗着し、乾燥及び加圧することにより、正極Bを作製した。活性炭の塗着量は8mg/cm2、電極の厚みは、180μmであった。
正極Bと負極A’を用いてキャパシタAA’の作製と同様の操作を行い、キャパシタBA’を作製した。
(正極Cの作製)
正極集電体として、発泡状Ni(市販品、Ni目付400g/m2、気孔率96vol%、気孔径450μm、厚さ1.4mm)を用いた。正極Aと同様の手法で正極Cを作製した。活性炭の充填量は30mg/cm2、加圧後の厚さは470μmとなった。
正極Cと負極A’を用いてキャパシタAA’の作製と同様の操作を行い、キャパシタCA’を作製した。
正極および負極として、上記正極Aと同じものを用いてキャパシタAA’の製造と同様の操作を行い、キャパシタAAを作製した。ただし、電解液はテトラエチルアンモニウムテトラフルオロボレートを1mol/Lとなるように溶解したプロピレンカーボネート溶液を用い、セパレータはセルロース繊維製セパレータ(厚さ60μm、密度450mg/cm3、気孔率70%)を用いた。
キャパシタAA’,BA’,CA’,AAをそれぞれ10個作製し、充電を2mA/cm2で2時間、放電を1mA/cm2で行い、初期静電容量及び充電電圧・作動電圧範囲を調べた。それらの平均値を表4に示す。
次に、キャパシタ特性として重要な耐久性を調べた。高電圧で保持されたときの耐久性は、バックアップ用などの用途で重要である。65℃で表4に示した各キャパシタの充電電圧を印加しながら2000時間保持した。その後25℃にして静電容量を測定し、初期からの静電容量の変化率を調べた。結果を表5に示す。
別の耐久性評価法として充放電サイクル特性を調べた。サイクル特性はセルの寿命を現す重要な指標である。条件として、雰囲気温度45℃でキャパシタAA’およびキャパシタBA’は2.5~4.2Vの間で、キャパシタAAは0~2.5Vの間で1mAの定電流による充放電サイクルを1万回繰り返し、1万サイクル後の放電容量を測定し、初期容量と比較して評価を行った。その結果を表6に示す。
以下に示す3種類の正極Aと、負極A’~C’を作製し、それらを組み合わせてキャパシタAA’,AB’,AC’,AAを作製した。そして、作製したキャパシタの静電容量と耐久性を評価した。
(正極Aの作製)
試験例2で作製したものと全く同じ集電体aを用意した。
活性炭粉末(比表面積2500m2/g、平均粒径約5μm)21.5重量部に、導電助剤としてケッチェンブラック(KB)0.7重量部、バインダとしてポリフッ化ビニリデン粉末2.5重量部、溶媒としてN-メチルピロリドン(NMP)75.3重量部を添加し、混合機で攪拌することにより、活性炭正極ペーストを調製した。
発泡状Niは、ウレタンシート(市販品、平均孔径470μm、厚さ1.4mm、気孔率96%)に導電処理後、所定量のNiめっきを行い、ウレタンを大気中800℃で焼却除去後に還元性雰囲気(水素)で1000℃に加熱し、Niを還元して作製した。導電処理はスパッタリングにより10g/m2のNiをつけた。Niめっき量は、導電処理の分も合計して400g/m2になるようにした。
正極A及び負極A’をさらに200℃で8時間、減圧環境で乾燥した。これらをドライルーム中(露点-65℃)にうつし、得られた正極A及び負極A’を直径14mmに打ち抜き、その後、負極A’に厚さ50μmのLi金属箔を圧着した。両電極の間にポリプロピレン製のセパレータ(厚さ25μm)を挟んで対向させて単セル素子とし、ステンレススチール製スペーサを用いてR2032サイズのコインセルケースに収納し、1mol/LのLiPF6を溶かした、エチレンカーボネート(EC)とジエチルカーボネート(DEC)を体積比1:1で混合した電解液を注入して電極及びセパレータに含浸した。さらに、プロピレン製の絶縁ガスケットを介してケース蓋を締めて封口して、コイン形の試験用キャパシタAを作製した。その後、60℃の恒温槽中で24時間放置した。この操作により、負極に圧着したLiがイオン化して負極のシリコンに吸蔵される。
負極集電体として、Cu箔(市販品、厚さ20μm)を用いた。負極A’の作製の際に用意したものと同じ負極活物質ペーストをドクターブレード法により塗着して圧延し、比較例1の負極B’を作製した。実際の塗布量は2.5mg/cm2、電極の厚みは、90μmであった。
これ以降の操作は、キャパシタAA’と全く同じにしてコイン型のキャパシタAB’を作製した。
Liを吸蔵・脱離できる天然黒鉛粉末21.5重量部に、導電助剤としてケッチェンブラック(KB)0.7重量部、バインダとしてポリフッ化ビニリデン粉末2.5重量部、溶媒としてN-メチルピロリドン(NMP)75.3重量部を添加し、混合機で攪拌することにより、黒鉛系負極ペーストを調製した。
負極として正極Aと同じものを用いてキャパシタAAを作製した。電解液はテトラエチルアンモニウムテトラフルオロボレートを1mol/Lとなるように溶解したプロピレンカーボネート溶液を用い、セパレータはセルロース繊維製セパレータ(厚さ60μm、密度450mg/cm3、気孔率70%)を用いた。
キャパシタAA’,AB’,AC’,AAをそれぞれ10個作製し、充電を10mA/cm2で1時間、放電を10mA/cm2で行い、初期静電容量及び充電電圧・作動電圧範囲・エネルギー密度を調べた。エネルギー密度の基準とする体積は、セル内の電極積層体の体積とし、(正極の厚さ+セパレータの厚さ+負極の厚さ)×電極面積によって求めた。それらの平均値を表7に示す。
次に、キャパシタ特性として重要な耐久性を調べた。高電圧で保持されたときの耐久性は、バックアップ用などの用途で重要である。65℃で表7に示した各キャパシタの充電電圧を印加しながら2000時間保持した。その後25℃にして静電容量を測定し、初期からの静電容量の変化率を調べた。結果を表8に示す。
別の耐久性評価法として充放電サイクル特性を調べた。サイクル特性はセルの寿命を現す重要な指標である。条件として、雰囲気温度45℃で0.5~3.0Vの間で10mA/cm2の定電流による充放電サイクルを1万回繰り返し、1万サイクル後の放電容量を測定し、初期容量と比較して評価を行った。その結果を表9に示す。
