Description

Ultracapacitor
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of ultracapacitor, relate in particular to a kind of ultracapacitor based on carbon nano-tube.
Background technology
Characteristics such as ultracapacitor (supercapacitor) belongs to double electric layer capacitor, has higher specific power and long cycle life, and operating temperature range is wide; Therefore, in fields such as mobile communication, information technology, electric automobile, Aero-Space and science and techniques of defence of crucial importance and wide application prospect is arranged all.
Existing ultracapacitor generally comprises two electrodes, barrier film and electrolyte, and these two electrodes and barrier film all are arranged in this electrolyte; These two electrodes include a collector body and are arranged on electrode material on this collector body.Wherein, the decisive factor that influences this capacity of super capacitor is an electrode material.Desirable electrode material should have that degree of crystallinity height, good conductivity, specific area are big, micropore is concentrated characteristics such as (require micropore greater than 2nm) within the specific limits.Existing electrode material for super capacitor mainly contains: activated carbon series and transition metal oxide series.The material conductivity of activated carbon series is relatively poor, and it can make the equivalent series resistance of capacitor bigger as electrode; And the specific area practical efficiency of this activated carbon series is no more than 30%, and electrolyte is difficult to fully contact with the electrode of this activated carbon series, therefore, adopts this activated carbon series material less as the capacity of the ultracapacitor of electrode.Though transition metal oxide has good effect as electrode material aspect the capacity that improves ultracapacitor, its cost is too high, can't promote the use of.
Carbon nano-tube (Carbon Nanotube, CNT) be the material with carbon element of the seamless tubular shaped graphite-structure of a kind of nanoscale, it is big that it has specific area, the degree of crystallinity height, good conductivity, the characteristics that the interior external diameter of carbon nano-tube can be controlled by synthesis technique, and its specific surface utilance can reach 100%, thereby can become a kind of desirable super capacitor material.Carbon nano-tube is seen in the earliest in the report of Chunming Niu etc. as the research of super capacitor material and (sees also High power electrochemical capacitorsbased on carbon nanotube electrodes, Apply Physics Letter, Chunming Niu et al., vol 70, p1480-1482 (1997)).After they made membrane electrode with pure multi-wall carbon nano-tube pipe powder, encapsulation made a ultracapacitor.Because this membrane electrode is to adopt carbon nanotube powder as feedstock production, and carbon nanotube powder is very easily reunited, this makes this membrane electrode can not give full play to the performance of carbon nano-tube, has influenced the performance of capacitor, has limited the raising of condenser capacity.
For this reason, people such as the Zhang Jianrong of Nanjing University are disclosed on March 16th, 2005, and the amorphous manganese dioxide of a kind of electrode material for super capacitor/multi-walled carbon nano-tubes compound is provided in the Chinese invention patent ublic specification of application of publication number for CN 1594212A.The diameter of the carbon nano-tube in this amorphous manganese dioxide/multi-walled carbon nano-tubes compound is the 20-40 nanometer, and length is 200 nanometers-5 micron, and amorphous manganese dioxide load is in carbon nano tube surface.This manganese dioxide/multi-walled carbon nano-tubes compound is as the electrode of ultracapacitor, though can be so that the ratio electric capacity of ultracapacitor is improved, but because this manganese dioxide/multi-walled carbon nano-tubes composite construction is Powdered, it needs metal current collector when being used as electrode.Yet therefore described metal current collector fair heavier make that the quality of described ultracapacitor is heavier, thereby make the total energy density of described ultracapacitor and overall power density reduce.
Summary of the invention
In view of this, necessaryly provide a kind of the have higher total energy density and the ultracapacitor of overall power density.
A kind of ultracapacitor, it comprises: one first electrode; One second electrode, this second electrode and the described first electrode gap setting; One barrier film, this barrier film are arranged between described first electrode and second electrode; An and electrolyte, described first electrode, second electrode and barrier film all are arranged in this electrolyte, wherein, described first electrode is a composite structure of carbon nano tube, this composite structure of carbon nano tube is a self supporting structure, and comprises a carbon nano tube structure and be arranged at the nano-scale particle on this carbon nano tube structure surface.
Compared with prior art, first electrode in the ultracapacitor provided by the invention is a composite structure of carbon nano tube, this composite structure of carbon nano tube has the characteristics of self-supporting, can be directly as the electrode of ultracapacitor, do not need metal current collector, therefore, make ultracapacitor have bigger total energy density and overall power density.
