Abstract
The present invention discloses an improved electrode for a supercapacitor and a method of preparation thereof. The inventive electrode comprises a collector, a carbon substrate disposed on the collector comprising ultrafine carbon fibers having a specific surface area of at least 200 m2/g (BET) and a d002 value of 0.36 nm or less, and a metal oxide thin layer formed on the carbon substrate. The electrode of the subject invention retains a high specific capacitance during high-speed charging and discharging cycles.
Description
- The present invention provides an electrode for a supercapacitor comprising an electrochemically deposited metal oxide thin layer on ultrafine carbon fibers having a high specific surface area and a high electric conductivity, and the fabrication method thereof.
- A supercapacitor can be broadly classified as an electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) which employs carbon particles or fibers having a high specific surface area as an electrode material or as a pseudocapacitor comprising a metal oxide or a conductive polymer.
- An EDLC exhibits a long lifetime but due to the accumulation of charges only on the surface of the electric double layer, the capacitance thereof is lower than that of a metal oxide-based or an electric conductive polymer-based supercapacitor.
- The metal of a metal oxide-based supercapacitor is capable of undergoing a change in its multiple valence states, which allows oxidation and reduction reactions to take place. Such oxidation and reduction reactions corresponding to charging and discharging processes require the ion and electron to move rapidly between the electrolyte and the electrode, and accordingly, the electrode is preferred to have a high specific surface area, and the electrode active material, a high electric conductivity.
- Since ruthenium oxide heat-treated at a low temperature exhibits a very high specific capacitance as well as a high electric conductivity similar to that of a metal (J. Electrochem. Soc. 142, 2699 (1995)), a number of studies have been conducted to use ruthenium oxide as an electrode material for a supercapacitor. However, ruthenium is expensive and only the ruthenium oxide exposed on the surface of the ruthenium oxide particles participates in the oxidation-reduction reaction. Therefore, a variety of methods such as forming a complex of ruthenium oxide with an inexpensive metal oxide or a carbon material, or depositing ruthenium oxide on a support having a large specific surface area have been attempted.
- Various carbon materials have been considered for use as a support. Active carbon has a high specific surface area of 1,000 m2/g or more, but has a low electric conductivity; while carbon black has an excellent electric conductivity, but the specific surface area thereof is very low, about 10 m2/g or less. Therefore, an electrode for a supercapacitor prepared by depositing a metal oxide thin layer on such carbon materials has a tendency to exhibit a high specific capacitance at low-speed charging and discharging cycles, but a low specific capacitance at a high-speed charging and discharging. A supercapacitor employed in fuel cell-driven or hybrid automobiles is required to have good high-speed charging and discharging capabilities.
- Accordingly, there has been a need to develop an electrode for a supercapacitor having a high specific surface area and a good electric conductivity which is capable of maintaining a high specific capacitance during high-speed charging and discharging cycles.
- The present invention provides an electrode for a supercapacitor which can maintain a high specific capacitance during high-speed charging and discharging cycles, which comprises an ultrafine carbon fiber substrate having a good electric conductivity as well as a high specific surface area having a metal oxide thin layer electrochemically deposited thereon.

- Another preferred embodiment of the present invention is a method for preparing the electrode for a supercapacitor comprising the steps of forming ultrafine carbon fibers by electrospinning a melt or a solution of a carbon fiber-precursor polymer followed by carbonizing, attaching a mat-type carbon substrate comprising the ultrafine carbon fibers on the collector using a binder, and forming a metal oxide thin layer on the carbon substrate.
- Still another preferred embodiment of the present invention is a method for preparing the electrode for a supercapacitor comprising the steps of forming ultrafine carbon fibers by electrospinning a melt or a solution of a carbon fiber-precursor polymer to obtain spun fibers and carbonizing the spun fibers, forming a carbon substrate by coating a mixture prepared by grinding the ultrafine carbon fibers followed by mixing with a binder on a collector, and forming a metal oxide thin layer on the carbon substrate.
- As shown in
FIG. 1 , the electrode of the present invention may be prepared as follows. - First, ultrafine carbon fibers are prepared. Then, a carbon substrate is formed on a collector by one of the following two methods. One method is to attach a mat-type ultrafine carbon fiber obtained above on a collector using a binder. The other method is to obtain a carbon substrate by grinding the ultrafine carbon fiber obtained above, adding the ground carbon fiber to a binder solution, coating the carbon solution on the collector and drying it to remove a solvent.
- Subsequently, the carbon substrate is dipped in a metal oxide precursor solution and a metal oxide layer is deposited thereon when the solution is treated by constant current or cyclic voltammetry method. The electrode thus prepared is washed and heat-treated.
- Hereinafter, a method for preparing for supercapacitor according to the present invention will be described specifically in stages.
- First, an ultrafine carbon fiber is prepared by electrospinning a melt or a solution of a carbon fiber-precursor polymer, followed by carbonizing. The ultrafine carbon fiber may be a graphitical carbon fiber, a graphitical carbon or a carbon nanotube having a high electric conductivity.
- Examples of the precursor polymer of the carbon fiber are 1) petroleum pitch or coal pitch, 2) polyacrylonitrile or polyacrylonitrile copolymers, 3) cellulose or cellulose derivatives, and 4) halogenated polymers. The halogenated polymers include, for instance, i) homopolymers and copolymers of fluoropolymers comprising poly(vinylidene fluoride), poly(vinylidenefluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene), poly(vinylidenefluoride-co-tetrafluoroethylene), poly(vinylidenefluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) and perfluoropolymer; ii) homopolymers and copolymers of halogenated monomers comprising poly(vinyl chloride), poly(vinylidene chloride), poly(vinylidenechloride-co-vinylchloride) and saran polymer; and iii) a mixture thereof.
- In addition, the present invention provides a method for preparing an ultrafine polymer fiber having a high specific surface area and a good electric conductivity by electrospinning. When a low-viscosity liquid is sprayed under a high critical voltage electric field, an aerosol consisting of submicron droplets having a narrow size distribution may be obtained. This phenomenon is called electrostatic spray or electrospray, which has been the subject of intense interests in the academic and industrial sectors. In contrast to the behavior of a low viscosity liquid during electrospraying, a viscous polymer solution or a polymer melt forms fibers when subjected electrospray under a high voltage electrostatic force. Thus, in order to distinguish from the electrospraying of a low viscosity liquid which leads to the formation of ultrafine liquid droplets, the electrostatic spraying of a high viscosity liquid such as a polymer melt to form fibers is called electrostatic spinning or electrospinning.
- The electrospinning employed in the present invention may be designed such that an inert gas or air can be injected together with the liquid through an electrospinning nozzle in a manner similar to a melt-blown method in order to increase the productivity.
- Although an ungraphitized carbon is employed as a conventional electrode material for a supercapacitor (Applied Physics Letters 83(6), 1216 (2003)), it has the problem that its specific capacitance becomes drastically lower when used in high-speed charging and discharging processes. Accordingly, the present invention employs graphitized superfine carbon fibers. That is, the present invention employs graphitical ultrafine carbon fibers having a graphitization degree corresponding to d002 of 0.36 nm or less and a good electric conductivity by electrospinning a carbon fiber-precursor polymer. Specifically, such ultrafine carbon fibers having both a good electric conductivity and a high specific surface area may be prepared by one of the following two methods.
- First, a melt or a solution of the precursor polymer containing a graphitization catalyst is electrospun to produce ultrafine polymer fibers, which are carbonized, followed by graphitizing under a vacuum or an inert gas environment to produce porous graphitical ultrafine carbon fibers.
- Graphitical carbon fibers obtained by graphitizing at a high temperature of 2,000 to 3,000° C. in a conventional method generally have a low specific surface area of less than several tens of m2/g. However, the ultrafine polymer fibers obtained by electrospinning a melt or a solution of a polymer containing a graphitization catalyst can undergo graphitization at a low temperature of 500 to 2,000° C. The graphitical carbon fibers thus prepared have a d002 value of 0.36 nm or less and a specific surface area of 200 m2/g (BET) or higher. Such graphitic carbon fibers have a plurality of micropores and mesopores.
- The graphitization catalyst which may be used in the present invention is a particular form of a metal selected from the group consisting of: 1) a transition metal such as Pt, Ru, Cu, Fe, Ni, Co, Pd, W, Ir, Rh, Sr, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Re and a mixture thereof, 2) a non-transition metal such as Mg, B, Al and a mixture thereof; 3) a mixture of Mg and said transition metal. Alternatively, the catalyst may be one of the compounds of the above transition metals such as: 1) a metal chloride, e.g., CuCl2, CoCl2, OsCl3, CrCl2, VCl3, TaCl2, TiCl4, (NH3)6RuCl3, ZrCl4, HfCl4, MnCl2, ZnCl2, FeCl3, NiCl2, PdCl2 and MgCl2; 2) a metal nitrate, e.g., Pd(NO3)2, (NH3)4Pt(NO3)2, Fe(NO3)3, Ni(NO3)2 and Mg(NO3)2; and 3) an organometallic compound such as iron acetylacetonate, ferrocene, Pd-trioctylphosphine and Ni(cyclooctadiene)2, said metal compounds being capable of forming corresponding metal particles during the carbonization step.
- As stated above, the graphitical ultrafine carbon fibers having a high specific surface area and a good electric conductivity may be prepared by carbonization, followed by graphitization in a vacuum or an inert gas environment, but such procedure may also be conducted in the presence of a C1-C10 hydrocarbon gas, wherein the graphitization catalyst also catalyzes the growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) or carbon nanofibers (CNFs) when the hydrocarbon gas is present. Therefore, the present invention also provides a carbon material which has a fluffy form of CNTs or CNFs grown on the surface of the graphitical ultrafine carbon fibers having a high specific surface area and a good electric conductivity.
- Alternatively, the ultrafine carbon fibers having a high specific surface area and a good electric conductivity may be prepared according to a second method which comprises graphitizing the ultrafine polymer fibers obtained by electrospinning a carbon fiber-precursor polymer solution containing a carbon black or carbon nanotubes having a high conductivity uniformly dispersed therein, in the absence of a graphitization catalyst.
- The ultrafine polymer fibers prepared by one of the two methods described above may melt and fuse together when exposed to the carbonization condition. To prevent this problem, a specific pretreatment step may be conducted prior to the carbonization. That is, the fibers may be rendered unfusable through exposing to a dehalogenation step involving a heat treating at a temperature of 300° C. or less, or subjected to chemical treatment with a strong base.
- Further, the ultrafine carbon fibers prepared by the above methods may be preferably subjected to an activation process under an oxidative environment in order to endow more pores thereon, which is desirable in terms of increasing the specific surface area and facilitating the process of depositing thereon a metal oxide thin layer electrochemically. When the carbon fiber-precursor polymer is a halogenated polymer, a high specific surface area of hundreds of m2/g or higher may be achieved without conducting said activation process, but it is nevertheless preferred to perform said activation process in the last step of carbonization. The activation process is preferably conducted at a temperature of 700 to 1,000° C. in an oxidative environment containing carbon dioxide or steam.
- The ultrafine carbon fiber prepared by the method described above has a diameter ranging from 1 to 3,000 nm, preferably from 1 to 1,000 nm. Further, the ultrafine carbon fibers preferably have a high specific surface area of 200 m2/g (BET) or more and a d002 value of 0.36 nm or less, and thus, the inventive fibers have both a high specific surface area and a good electric conductivity.
- Subsequently, a carbon substrate is formed on a collector using the ultrafine carbon fibers obtained above.
- The collector may be composed of a metal selected from the group consisting of titanium, palladium, platinum, stainless steel, tantalum, and an alloy thereof.
- The subject invention provides the following two alternative methods for forming a carbon substrate on a collector, which does not limit the scope of the invention.
- The first method is to employ a mat of the ultrafine carbon fibers obtained above as a carbon substrate. In this case, the ultrafine carbon fiber mat is attached on the collector using a binder.
- The second method involves grinding the ultrafine carbon fibers to obtain a desired powder form thereof, and mixing the ground carbon fiber powder with a binder solution to form a mixture which is coated onto the collector. In this case, a conducting material may be further added to said mixture.
- The coating may be conducted by a doctor-blade method or an electrospray method. For example, in case of employing the electrospray method, the mixture containing the ground ultrafine carbon fibers and the optional conducting material dispersed uniformly in the binder solution is discharged at a rate of 5 to 150 μl/min through the spray tip on the collector under an applied voltage of 5 to 20 kV to form a carbon substrate having a thickness of 1 to 30 μm on the collector.
- Examples of applicable binders are polyurethane and polyurethane copolymers comprising polyetherurethane; cellulose derivatives such as cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate butylate and cellulose acetate propionate; polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA); polymethylacrylate (PMA); polyacryl copolymers; polyvinylacetate and polyvinylacetate copolymers; polyvinylalcohol (PVA); polyperfurylalcohol (PPFA); polystyrene and polystyrene copolymers; polyethyleneoxide (PEO); polypropyleneoxide (PPO) and polyethyleneoxide copolymers; polypropyleneoxide copolymers; polycarbonate (PC), polyvinylchloride (PVC), polycaprolactone, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polyvinylfluoride, polyvinylidenefluoride and the copolymers thereof; polyamide; and the like, but are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
- Further, examples of the conducting material that can be used in the above procedure are Super-P, Ketjen black, acetylene black and vapor grown carbon fibers.
- Further, examples of the solvent usable for preparing the binder solution are N-methyl-2-pyrrolydone, dimethylacetamide, dimethylformamide, acetone and ethanol, which does not limit the scope of the invention.
- In the final step, a metal oxide thin layer is deposited on the carbon substrate formed on the collector.
- Examples of the metal oxide include ruthenium oxide, manganese oxide, nickel oxide, vanadium oxide, cobalt oxide, tungsten oxide, iridium oxide, rubidium oxide, and a mixture thereof.
- The formation of the metal oxide thin layer for a high-capacitance capacitor on the carbon substrate may be conducted by electrochemical deposition employing a solution of a metal oxide precursor. Specifically, the carbon substrate is dipped in a solution of a metal oxide precursor, which is deposited on the carbon substrate by a constant current or cyclic voltammetry method.
- For instance, the formation of a ruthenium oxide thin layer is conducted by dipping the carbon substrate in a solution prepared by dissolving trichlororuthenium hydrate, a ruthenium oxide precursor, in deionized water to a concentration between 0.005 to 0.1 moles, followed by allowing the precursor to deposit on the carbon substrate at 30 to 70° C. If necessary, an electrolyte such as sodium chloride or hydrogen chloride may be added to said precursor solution. The deposited precursor layer is preferably heat-treated at a temperature of 150 to 250° C. for 0.5 to 2 hours to form a ruthenium oxide electrode layer.
- When the metal oxide thin layer is deposited on the carbon substrate by a constant current method, it is preferred that the deposition is carried out using a constant applied current density of 0.5 mA/cm2 to 10 mA/cm2 so that the metal oxide is deposited as a cathode while an electrochemically stable metal such as platinum or titanium is formed as an anode.
- When a cyclic voltammetry method is employed, a 3-electrode system is preferably used. In this case, the sweep rate is preferably adjusted to 10 to 1,000 mV per second, and the amount of the ruthenium oxide may be controlled depending on the cycle number. In case of employing this deposition method, the capacitance thereof changes with the electric potential applied during the deposition, and the deposition is preferably conducted at an applied potential of 0.2 to 1.4V relative to the Ag/AgCl electrode.

FIG. 4 shows the specific capacitance of the electrode depending on the rate, as shown inFIG. 4 , the specific capacitance of the inventive electrode was maintained about 77% in spite of the change of the sweep rate from 10 mV/sec to 500 mV/sec. - An electrode was prepared in the same way as described in Example 1 by employing ultrafine carbon fibers which have carbon nanofibers or carbon nanotubes grown on the surface of the graphitical ultrafine carbon fibers.
