Description

Folding Cell and Super Capacitor Having Folding Cell and Super Capacitor Having the Same "

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a super capacitor, and more particularly, to a folding cell and a folding type super capacitor having the folding cell.

In addition to various portable electronic devices, there is a demand for electric power storage devices for electric vehicles and electric energy storage devices for systems for controlling or supplying instantaneous overload. Ni-MH A secondary battery such as a Ni-Cd battery, a lead-acid battery, and a lithium secondary battery, and a super capacitor, an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, and a ceramic capacitor having a high output density and close to unlimited charge / discharge life.

In particular, the super capacitor includes an electric double layer capacitor (EDLC), a pseudo capacitor, and a hybrid capacitor such as a lithium ion capacitor (LIC).

Here, the electric double layer capacitor is a capacitor using an electrostatic charge phenomenon occurring in an electric double layer formed at the interface of different phases, and has a faster charging / discharging speed, a higher charge / discharge efficiency than the battery in which the energy storage mechanism depends on the oxidation and reduction process, Is widely used for backup power supply, and the potential as an auxiliary power source for electric vehicles in the future is also unlimited.

A pseudocapacitor is a capacitor that converts a chemical reaction into electrical energy using an electrode and an oxidation-reduction reaction of the electrochemical oxide reactant. The pseudocapacitor has a storage capacity about 5 times larger than that of the electric double layer capacitor because the electric double layer capacitor can store the electric charge near the surface of the electrode material as compared with the electric double layer capacitor formed on the surface of the electrochemical double layer type electrode. As the metal oxide electrode material, RuOx, IrOx, MnOx and the like are used.

The lithium ion capacitor is a new concept of a secondary battery system that combines the high power and long life characteristics of a conventional electric double layer capacitor with the high energy density of a lithium ion battery. Electric double layer capacitors using the physical adsorption reaction of electric charges in the electric double layer have been limited in their application to various applications due to their low energy density despite excellent power characteristics and lifetime characteristics. As a means for solving the problem of such an electric double layer capacitor, a lithium ion capacitor using a carbon-based material capable of inserting and separating lithium ions as a negative electrode active material has been proposed. The lithium ion capacitor has a structure in which lithium ions, And the cell voltage can realize a high voltage of 3.8 V or more, which is much higher than that of the conventional electric double layer capacitor by 2.5 V, and can exhibit a high energy density.

The basic structure of such a supercapacitor is composed of an electrode, an electrolyte, a current collector, and a separator having a relatively large surface area such as a porous electrode. A voltage of several volts is applied to both ends of the unit cell electrode, And the electrochemical mechanism generated by adsorption on the surface of the electrode moves along the electric field. These cells are sealed to the upper and lower cases made of metal, and the upper and lower terminals are attached to the outer surfaces of the upper and lower cases.

Such a supercapacitor is manufactured and sold as a pouch type in which unit cells are laminated in a plate form and a winding type in which a sheet type cell is wound. In the case of the winding type super capacitor, a cell can be formed by winding in the form of a roll, and a cell (hereinafter, referred to as a folding cell) can be formed by winding in a folding form. Such a folding cell can be formed in a hexahedral shape.

However, in the folding cell, since the sheet-like cells are wound without using the core, the winding tension of the positive electrode and the negative electrode is different. As a result, the folded cell fabricated has a drawback that the winding shape is loosened, thereby causing a reduction in capacity, an increase in equivalent series resistance (ESR), and deterioration.

Further, since the folding cell is wound without using the core, there is a problem that the winding operation is also not easy.
