Now, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the electric double layer capacitor has a pair of electrode lead-out terminals 1, 1.
The carbon electrodes 3, 3 are filled with the insulating film 2 sandwiched between them, and the insulating film 2 forms a double layer in which the carbon electrodes 3, 3 are divided into two parts. In FIG. 6, 4 and 4 are rubbers, 5 and 5 are terminals, and 7 and 7 are gel areas. In the electric double layer capacitor, an electrolytic solution having good ionization property (low resistance) such as sulfuric acid or an alkali such as propylene glycol solution of ammonium salt is used, and the electrolytic solution permeates the carbon electrode. Let's make one pole. As the insulating film, a thin film such as Mylar that allows only small-sized ions to pass therethrough is used.

+ H 2 O + HSO 4 is generated to generate hydrogen ions, and some of these hydrogen ions pass through the central film and move to the minus side (left side in the figure). That is, a large-capacity capacitor and voltage generation due to generation / movement of + − ions due to chemical change coexist. Therefore, this phenomenon is called an electric double layer.

However, the conventional electric double layer capacitor using the above-mentioned carbon electrode has a drawback that a large capacity cannot be obtained because the electrode is made of paste-like carbon (carbon paste). is there. That is, the conventional electric double layer battery is a so-called capacitor, not a battery. Furthermore, since the rise of voltage, which is the life of the capacitor, is poor and the dielectric constant is also poor, it is practically poor and it is impossible to obtain high power.

Alternatively, these alloys are used, but as described above, since the electrode is made of paste-like carbon, the contact resistance between the carbon electrode and the electrode take-out terminal is large, so that a large current from the electric double layer capacitor is generated. In the case of attempting to generate the above, energy loss occurs, for example, heat is generated at this portion, and eventually a large current cannot be obtained with the conventional one, and even if only this is carried out, there is still a problem. The disadvantages are the leakage phenomenon of the electrolytic solution in the battery and the addition of a promoter that accelerates the electromotive reaction.

As described above, the present invention, which constitutes a battery capable of continuously operating a load of 6 V and 700 mA for 4 hours, is completely different from the electric double layer electric storage device used as a backup power source for microcomputers up to now. Differently, it can be used for high power equipment such as a drive power source of a mechanical system. However,
In the case of the electric double layer battery of the present invention, when it is connected in series to increase the voltage, its capacity decreases.
For example, the electromotive force of a set of electric double layer batteries is 1.2V,
If the internal resistance is 400mΩ and the capacity is 4000F, output 6
To obtain V and 3A batteries, it is sufficient to connect them in a series of 5 sets, and in this case, the capacity is 800F. By the way, 6
When obtaining V and 3A batteries, it is difficult to construct a single primary battery, and when it is constructed with a secondary battery, it must be large and heavy like an automobile battery. There is a solar cell that can reduce the weight.
