のバックアップ用に広く用いられている。An electric double layer capacitor is a large-capacity capacitor using an activated carbon powder or an activated carbon fiber as a polarizable electrode and utilizing an electric double layer generated at an interface between activated carbon and an electrolyte. Electric double layer capacitors are widely used as backup capacitors for microcomputers, memories, and timers as small, large-capacity rechargeable capacitors.
【０００４】このような電気二重層キャパシタには従来
大別して次の２種類が存在する。すなわち、硫酸水溶液
のような水溶液系電解液を用いたものと、プロピレンカ
ーボネートのような有機溶媒に電解質を添加した有機溶
液系電解液を用いたものである。Conventionally, the following two types of such electric double layer capacitors are roughly classified. That is, a solution using an aqueous solution electrolyte such as a sulfuric acid aqueous solution, and a solution using an organic solution electrolyte obtained by adding an electrolyte to an organic solvent such as propylene carbonate.

のため大きなケースが必要になる、製造プロセスが複雑
になる、ハンドリング性が悪いなどの課題があった。[0005] When powdered activated carbon is used, dilute sulfuric acid as an electrolyte is generally mixed, and a slurry paste is incorporated into a capacitor. In this case, in order to increase the packing density of the activated carbon and improve the contact resistance between the activated carbons, it is necessary to pressurize and seal the polarizable electrode, which requires a large case and complicates the manufacturing process. And poor handling properties.
【０００６】繊維状活性炭を用いる場合は、粉末状活性
炭よりもさらに充填密度が低く、接触抵抗も大きいとい
う課題がある。When fibrous activated carbon is used, there are problems that the packing density is lower and the contact resistance is higher than that of powdered activated carbon.
【０００７】そこで、構造が簡単でエネルギー密度が高

課題がある。However, in the case of a solid activated carbon electrode produced by dry-mixing the activated carbon 1 and the binder 2, the activated carbon 1 and the binder 2 are dispersed independently, so that the activated carbon 1 and the binder 2 are dispersed independently. 2 has a small contact area, and a large amount of binder 2 is required to increase the strength of the activated carbon electrode during solidification. As a result, when the content of the activated carbon 1 is reduced and an electric double layer capacitor is formed, there is a problem that the capacitance density is reduced and the internal resistance is increased.

The purpose is to provide.
