Abstract
Description
〔共連続構造部分〕
本発明の電気化学キャパシタ用電極材料(以下、単に「電極材料」ということがある。)は多孔質炭素材料からなる。本発明の電気化学キャパシタ用電極材料として用いられる多孔質炭素材料は、以下、便宜上「本発明の多孔質炭素材料」ということがある。また、本発明の多孔質炭素材料は、本発明の電気化学キャパシタ用電極材料と同じ意味で使用される場合がある。
ただし構造周期が大きくて小角での散乱が観測できない場合がある。その場合はX線コンピュータ断層撮影(X線CT)によって構造周期を得る。具体的には、X線CTによって撮影した三次元画像をフーリエ変換した後に、その二次元スペクトルの円環平均を取り、一次元スペクトルを得る。その一次元スペクトルにおけるピークトップの位置に対応する特性波長を求め、その逆数より構造周期を算出する。
平均空隙率は、高いほど他素材との複合の際に充填効率を高められ、電解液の流路として圧力損失が小さくなる。一方、平均空隙率は、低いほど圧縮や曲げに強くなるため、取り扱い性や加圧条件での使用に際して有利となる。これらのことを考慮し、共連続構造部分の平均空隙率は15~75%の範囲であることが好ましく、18~70%の範囲がさらに好ましい。
本発明の多孔質炭素材料の形態は特に限定されず、例えば粒子状、繊維状、フィルム状、粉末状、塊状、棒状、平板状、円盤状が挙げられるが、中でも粒子状または繊維状の形態であることが好ましい。
さらに、本発明の多孔質炭素材料は、表面に平均直径0.01~10nmの細孔を有することが好ましい。表面とは、多孔質炭素材料の共連続構造部分における炭素骨格の表面も含め、多孔質炭素材料のあらゆる外部との接触面を指す。細孔は、共連続構造部分における炭素骨格の表面および/または後述する共連続構造を実質的に有しない部分に形成することができる。少なくとも共連続構造を有する部分における炭素骨格の表面に形成することが好ましい。
本発明の多孔質炭素材料は、共連続構造を実質的に有しない部分(以下、単に「共連続構造を有しない部分」という場合がある。)を含んでいることも、好ましい態様である。共連続構造を実質的に有しない部分とは、クロスセクションポリッシャー法(CP法)により形成させた断面を、1±0.1(nm/画素)の拡大率で観察した際に、解像度以下であることにより明確な空隙が観察されない部分が、一辺が後述のX線から算出される構造周期Lの3倍に対応する正方形の領域以上の面積で存在することを意味する。
電気化学キャパシタ用電極材料として使用した際の多孔質炭素材料の表面の利用効率は、たとえば充放電試験により求めた静電容量をBET比表面積で除した値、すなわちBET比表面積あたりの静電容量にて評価される。充放電試験については後に実施例にて詳述する。BET比表面積あたりの静電容量が大きいほど、多孔質炭素材料の表面の利用効率が大きいため、低抵抗での充放電が可能になることから、電気化学キャパシタ用電極材料として高性能であることを意味する。
本発明の電気化学キャパシタの一つの態様である、電気二重層キャパシタの好ましい態様について以下に記述する。電気二重層キャパシタのセルは、正極と負極としての2つの電極がセパレータを介して配置され、さらに電解液に浸漬された構成を有する。本発明の電気二重層キャパシタは当該電極に本発明の多孔質炭素材料を含むものである。また、電極には、好ましくは、さらに導電助剤、バインダー、集電体が含まれる。電極は、本発明の多孔質炭素材料以外の多孔質炭素材料を1種または複数含んでもよい。
本発明の電気化学キャパシタは、高静電容量で、高速充放電が可能であるため、各種電子機器やエネルギーデバイスにおいて、効率的な電力貯蓄や、電力平準化等に活用できる。たとえば、燃料電池自動車、プラグインハイブリッド車、ハイブリッド車、電気自動車、携帯電話、スマートフォン、電車、コピー機、複合機、パソコン、航空機、各種家電、事務機器、工作機器、電動自転車、バイク、フォークリフト、建設機械、クレーン等の各種機械、電子機器に好適である。また、太陽光発電、風力発電、地熱発電、波力発電等の再生エネルギー関連機器や電力供給コントロール基地、さらには病院、工場、データセンター等のバックアップ電源に好適に利用される。
本発明の多孔質炭素材料は、一例として、炭化可能樹脂10~90重量%と消失樹脂90~10重量%とを相溶させて樹脂混合物とする工程(工程1)と、相溶した状態の樹脂混合物を相分離させ、固定化する工程(工程2)、加熱焼成により炭化する工程(工程3)を有する製造方法により製造することができる。
工程1は、炭化可能樹脂10~90重量%と、消失樹脂90~10重量%と相溶させ、樹脂混合物とする工程である。
工程2は、工程1において相溶させた状態の樹脂混合物を相分離させて微細構造を形成し、固定化する工程である。
工程2において相分離後の微細構造が固定化された樹脂混合物は、炭化工程(工程3)に供される前または炭化工程と同時、あるいはその両方で消失樹脂の除去処理を行うことが好ましい。除去処理の方法は特に限定されるものではなく、消失樹脂を除去することが可能であれば良い。具体的には、酸、アルカリや酵素を用いて消失樹脂を化学的に分解、低分子量化して除去する方法や、消失樹脂を溶解する溶媒により溶解除去する方法、電子線、ガンマ線や紫外線、赤外線等の放射線や熱を用いて消失樹脂を分解除去する方法等が好適である。
工程2において相分離後の微細構造が固定化された樹脂混合物である前駆体材料は、炭化工程(工程3)に供される前に不融化処理を行うことが好ましい。不融化処理の方法は特に限定されるものではなく、公知の方法を用いることができる。具体的な方法としては、酸素存在下で加熱することで酸化架橋を起こす方法、電子線、ガンマ線等の高エネルギー線を照射して架橋構造を形成する方法、反応性基を持つ物質を含浸、混合して架橋構造を形成する方法等が挙げられ、中でも酸素存在下で加熱することで酸化架橋を起こす方法が、プロセスが簡便であり製造コストを低く抑えることが可能である点から好ましい。これらの手法は単独もしくは組み合わせて使用しても、それぞれを同時に使用しても別々に使用しても良い。
工程3は、工程2において相分離後の微細構造が固定化された樹脂混合物、あるいは、消失樹脂を既に除去している場合には炭化可能樹脂からなる残存部分を焼成し、炭化して炭化物を得る工程である。
工程3において得た炭化物は、更に賦活処理を行うことで、表面に細孔を形成することができる。賦活の方法としては、ガス賦活法、薬品賦活法等、特に限定するものではない。ガス賦活法とは、賦活剤として酸素や水蒸気、炭酸ガス、空気等を用い、400~1500℃、好ましくは500~900℃にて、数分から数時間、加熱することにより細孔を形成させる方法である。また、薬品賦活法とは、賦活剤として塩化亜鉛、塩化鉄、リン酸カルシウム、水酸化カルシウム、水酸化カリウム、炭酸マグネシウム、炭酸ナトリウム、炭酸カリウム、硫酸、硫酸ナトリウム、硫酸カリウム等を1種または2種以上用いて数分から数時間、加熱処理する方法であり、必要に応じて水や塩酸等による洗浄を行った後、pHを調整して乾燥する。
工程3を経て炭化させた炭化物、あるいは任意に賦活処理を行った多孔質炭素材料を粉砕処理して粒子状とした多孔質炭素材料も、本発明の電極材料として好ましく用いられる。粉砕処理方法の例としては、ボールミル、ビーズミル、ジェットミル等を例示することができる。粉砕処理は、連続式でもバッチ式でも良いが、生産効率の観点から連続式であることが好ましい。ボールミルに充填する充填材は適宜選択される。金属材料の混入が好ましくない用途に対しては、アルミナ、ジルコニア、チタニア等の金属酸化物によるもの、もしくはステンレス、鉄等を芯としてナイロン、ポリオレフィン、フッ化ポリオレフィン等をコーティングしたものを用いることが好ましい。それ以外の用途であればステンレス、ニッケル、鉄等の金属が好適に用いられる。
本発明の電気化学キャパシタは、本発明の多孔質炭素材料を用いた電極を用いてなること以外は、従来の電気化学キャパシタと全く同様の方法によって製造できる。以下に好ましい態様について述べる。
〔共連続構造の有無〕
多孔質炭素材料を乳鉢で粉砕して得た粉末の表面を走査型電子顕微鏡によって表面観察した。その際、炭素骨格とその骨格以外の部分として形成された空隙とがそれぞれ連続しつつ絡み合った構造として観察される部分を有するか否かで、共連続構造の有無を判断した。
多孔質炭素材料を試料プレートに挟み込み、CuKα線光源から得られたX線源から散乱角度10度未満の情報が得られるように、光源、試料及び二次元検出器の位置を調整した。二次元検出器から得られた画像データ(輝度情報)から、ビームストッパーの影響を受けている中心部分を除外して、ビーム中心から動径を設け、角度1°毎に360°の輝度値を合算して、散乱強度分布曲線を得た。得られた曲線においてピーク値を持つかどうかで構造周期を有するかどうか確認した。ピーク値を持つ場合は、ピークを持つ位置の散乱角度2θより、連続構造部分の構造周期を下記の式によって得た。
〔平均空隙率〕
試料を樹脂中に包埋し、その後カミソリ等で多孔質炭素材料の断面を露出させ、日本電子製SM-09010を用いて加速電圧5.5kVにて試料表面にアルゴンイオンビームを照射、エッチングを施す。得られた多孔質炭素材料の断面を走査型二次電子顕微鏡にて材料中心部を1±0.1(nm/画素)となるよう調整された拡大率で、70万画素以上の解像度で観察した画像から、計算に必要な着目領域を512画素四方で設定し、着目領域の面積A、孔部分または消失樹脂部分の面積をBとして、以下の式で算出されたものを言う。
〔BET比表面積、細孔直径〕
試料を300℃で約5時間、減圧脱気した後、日本ベル社製の「BELSORP-18PLUS-HT」を使用し、液体窒素を用いて77Kの温度での窒素吸脱着を多点法で測定した。表面積はBET法、細孔分布解析(細孔直径、細孔容積)はMP法またはBJH法により行った。
電気化学キャパシタ用電極材料として使用した際の多孔質炭素材料の表面の利用効率は、後述する充放電試験により求めた静電容量をBET比表面積で除した値、すなわちBET比表面積あたりの静電容量にて評価した。
70gのポリサイエンス社製ポリアクリロニトリル(MW15万、炭素収率58%)と70gのシグマ・アルドリッチ社製ポリビニルピロリドン(MW4万)、及び、溶媒として400gの和研薬製ジメチルスルホキシド(DMSO)をセパラブルフラスコに投入し、3時間攪拌および還流を行いながら150℃で均一かつ透明な溶液を調整した。このときポリアクリロニトリルの濃度、ポリビニルピロリドンの濃度はそれぞれ13重量%であった。
炭化処理、粉砕までは実施例1と同様としたが、賦活処理以降の工程を実施せず、粒子状の多孔質炭素材料を得た。得られた多孔質炭素材料には共連続構造が形成されていた。共連続構造部分の平均空隙率は45%であり、構造周期は73nmであった。また、共連続構造を有しない部分を粒子の一部に含む構造をしていた。BET比表面積は39m2/gであり、BJH法による細孔の平均直径は12.1nm、MP法による細孔は確認できなかった。
群栄化学(株)社製フェノールレゾール(グレード:PL2211)の45重量%メタノール溶液100gに和光純薬( 株) 社製ポリメチルメタクリレート(PMMA)25g 、アセトン100gを加えて撹拌し、PMMAを溶解した。
ヤシガラを110℃にて24時間の真空乾燥を行い、窒素流量1リットル/分、昇温速度10℃/分、到達温度550℃、保持時間3時間の条件で炭化処理を行い、自然放冷した。次いで、窒素流量1リットル/分、昇温速度10℃/分、到達温度900℃まで昇温し、賦活処理として水蒸気を含んだ窒素を30分通過させた後自然放冷した。得られた粒子状の多孔質炭素材料は、断面内の孔形状、サイズが均一ではなく、構造周期の算出を試みたが、得られた散乱強度分布曲線にはピークが存在せず、構造の均一性に劣るものであった。BET比表面積は1050m2/g、MP法による細孔の平均直径は1.2nm、BJH法による細孔の平均直径は2.2nm、MP法による細孔容積は1.9cm3/gであった。
賦活処理において、水蒸気を含んだ窒素の通過時間を1時間とした以外は比較例1と同様の方法で多孔質炭素材料を得た。得られた粒子状の多孔質炭素材料は、断面内の孔形状、サイズが均一ではなく、構造周期の算出を試みたが、得られた散乱強度分布曲線にはピークが存在せず、構造の均一性に劣るものであった。BET比表面積は1490m2/g、MP法による細孔の平均直径は1.0nm、BJH法による細孔の平均直径は2.1nm、MP法による細孔容積は1.4cm3/gであった。
