Description

CELL ASSEMBLY FOR AN ENERGY STORAGE DEVICE USING PTFE BINDER IN ACTIVATED CARBON ELECTRODES
This PCT international application claims priority of U.S. Serial No. 1 1/553,410 filed on 26 October 2006.
I. Technical Field
The present invention relates generally to an electric energy storage device, and more specifically it relates to a cell assembly for a flexible and economical multi-plate hybrid battery supercapacitor having lead-based electrodes and carbon-based electrodes.
II. Background of the Invention
Typically, the most common electrical energy storage devices are electrochemical batteries and capacitors, including supercapacitors. The device disclosed herein is an implementation of a hybrid lead acid battery and activated carbon supercapacitor, having features and performance characteristics that are distinct from either a battery or a supercapacitor.
The energy in this type of hybrid device is stored both electrostatically and electrochemically. The device in keeping with the present invention has a significantly greater cycle life and shorter charge time than a lead-acid battery. The present device also has a much higher energy density than a conventional supercapacitor. Like a conventional supercapacitor, the present device has a linear voltage profile when cycled at constant current. While this type of device typically requires a power conversion interface for many applications, it also delivers an accurate instantaneous mapping of its state of charge. Since the lead electrodes of the energy storage device disclosed herein are very similar to conventional lead-acid battery electrodes, many common components can be used, as well as many common strategies, methods and designs for tuning and enhancing performance. One problem with the use of conventional lead-acid battery components within devices such as those disclosed herein is that the current collection methods needed for the carbon electrodes are significantly different than those of the lead electrodes. For instance, because of the lesser conductivity of carbon electrodes, the need for maximum surface contact and a short electrical path between the carbon electrode and the underlying collector assembly is paramount. Another problem is corrosion of the current collector. A further problem is the contact resistance between the current collector and the carbon electrode.
In these respects, the disclosed cell assembly for an energy storage device, according to the present invention, substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in so doing provides a flexible and economical way to create a multi-plate, multi-cell, hybrid lead acid battery/supercapacitor energy storage device.
A significant factor in assembly of energy storage devices such as those disclosed herein is that it is desirable that the electrodes be essentially self-contained and free standing, so that they can be easily handled during automated assembly operations. That is achieved in the present invention by assuring that the activated carbon in the negative electrodes is not only in electrical contact with a conductive shield of current collector assembly, but that the activated carbon is also adhered to the conductive shield material. This ensures against settling or shedding of the carbon material, and thereby loss of electrical contact, and, therefore, loss of capacity in the electrode.
Moreover, the necessity for excessive compression of the assembled electrodes in a manufactured, assembled energy storage device of the present invention is obviated. The electrodes need only to be compressed to the same extent as electrodes of an ordinary lead-acid battery. Thus, assembly of energy storage devices in keeping with the present invention may be effected on manufacturing assembly lines that will resemble - and to quite an extent emulate - those of a lead-acid battery manufacturing assembly line. However, the specifics of any such manufacturing assembly line as might be employed to manufacture and assemble energy storage devices in keeping with the present invention are beyond the scope of the present disclosure.
It will be noted that the assignee of the present invention is also the assignee of an invention relating to hybrid energy storage devices which require significant compression of the electrodes when the devices are assembled. The referenced application was originally filed as provisional Specification Serial Number 60/730397 filed October 27, 2005.

V. Detailed Description of the Invention
The novel features which are believed to be characteristic of the present invention, as to its structure, organization, use and method of operation, together with further objectives and advantages thereof, will be better understood from the following discussion.
Turning now to the drawings, in which similar reference characters denote similar elements throughout the several views, the attached figures illustrate various embodiments of cell assemblies for a supercapacitor energy storage device in keeping with the present invention.
Referring now to Figure 1 , a current collector (1 ) is made from a thin sheet of material, commonly by a die cut process. The material is most commonly a highly conductive metal. In this embodiment, the collector shown is a thin, flat sheet of copper, but other highly conductive metals may include copper alloys, titanium, aluminum, silver, stainless steel, nickel, and mixtures and combinations thereof. The metal sheet may be manufactured in various shapes and thicknesses.
Referring still to Figure 1 , a conductive shield (2) is made of material, which is chemically resistant and electrochemically stable in the electrolyte during operation of the hybrid device, said material being selected so as to prevent ionic and allow electronic conductivity. In keeping with the present invention, the conductive shield may be comprised of a sheet or layer of graphite foil, impregnated with paraffin via vacuum oven processing, and drawn into the interior of interior of the foil. The resulting conductive shield resists electrolyte penetration or interaction, but allows the conduction of electrical current therethrough.
Referring still to Figure 1 , the tab (3) permits attachment to the current collector (1 ), and is used for electrical interconnection to other components. In the preferred embodiment, this is a lead tab, soldered to the copper conductor. Other embodiments include other common solders, crimped leads, and the use of non-lead components. The details of a tab feature are not critical to the overall operating characteristics of energy storage devices in keeping with the present invention.
An area of the conductive shield is used to seal two shields together, encapsulating the current collector. Referring still to Figure 1 , the seal area of the conductive shield (4) is one or more areas where one conductive shield (2) is placed in contact with another conductive shield so as to encapsulate the current collector (1 ). The depicted embodiment shows a seal area which encircles the interior of the conductive shield, and which extends beyond the peripheral dimensions of the encapsulated current collector.
The seal can be established under heat and pressure treatment, or with adhesive glues, or with sealing gasket material comprised of thermoplastic film in the seal area. In the embodiment shown, the seal is effected by an adhesive material placed between the two shields and limited to the seal area of the shields
Referring still to Figure 1 , an entire current collector assembly is constructed by enclosing the current collector (1 ) within two layers of conductive shield (2), and sealing the current collector via the seal area (4), so that only a tab (3) which is attached to the current collector extends beyond the joined shields.
Referring now to Figure 2, (5) depicts the current collector assembly described above. A carbon electrode is adhered to and in electrical contact with the conductive shield (2) of the current collector assembly (5). Referring still to Figure 2, and also to Figure 1 , carbon material (6) is shaped into a sheet or layer which is sized to conform to the dimensions of the current collector (I) within the conductive shields (2). The thickness of the carbon electrode is determined by the electrochemical requirements of the cell. Thicker carbon materials store more energy, but make a bulkier cell. Thinner materials allow more plates within the same casing size, increasing the power density.
In any event, the activated carbon is adhered to and is in electrical contact with the conductive shield (2) of the current collector assembly (5) by the use of a binder material which is PTFE, polyethylene or other materials. Use of such binder materials ensures intraparticle contact as well as adherence of the carbon electrode (6) to the current collector assembly (5). The method employed to adhere the highly porous carbon to the conductive shield (2) of current collector assembly (5) may include thermal lamination techniques, the use of conductive adhesives, interposing a carbon black layer, and combinations thereof.
The carbon material in this embodiment is formed as a composite from activated carbon particles with inert binder material added to aid mechanical stability and handling.
Other additives may also be present in order to aid conductivity or to enhance mechanical properties. The exact nature and processing of the carbon material greatly affects the performance of the device, and is the subject of a separate disclosure. Thus, the exact nature of the carbon material is outside the scope of the present disclosure.
In this embodiment, carbon material can be made from fibers or granules, and the binder material is PTFE. However, as noted the binders may also comprise polyethylene, or other thermoplastic powders or granules selected so as to adhere the carbon into a shaped mass without interacting chemically or electrochemically in processes of the cell.
Referring now to Figure 2 and Figure 3, there is depicted (7) a carbon electrode subassembly, which is referred to hereafter as a type A subassembly. It comprises two sheets of carbon electrodes (6) adhered to and in electrical contact with a current collector assembly (5) in the manner described above. An alternate assembly used in the interior of multi-plate cells is shown in Figure 3 at (8). This is referred to hereafter as a carbon electrode type B subassembly; and comprises of a sheet of carbon electrode (6) adhered to and in electrical contact with only one side of a current collector assembly (5). There are two obvious embodiments of this combined component (8) that are used within the cell construction otherwise in keeping with the present invention, depending upon which side of the current collector assembly (5) to which the porous carbon electrode (6) is adhered.
A Cell unit (10) comprised of two carbon electrode type A subassemblies, and a lead electrode (9) in a porous separator envelope is depicted in Figure 4. Here, a basic single plate hybrid cell subassembly (10) is shown comprised of two carbon electrode type B subassemblies (8) placed on either side of a lead electrode. This subassembly, if soaked in a needed amount of electrolyte, comprises the most basic variant of the hybrid cell. In this embodiment, the electrolyte is comprised primarily of an aqueous sulfuric acid solution of a type which is commonly known to those skilled in the art of lead-acid battery industry.
An alternate cell unit (1 1 ) comprised of two carbon type A electrode subassemblies (7), three lead electrodes (10), and two carbon type B electrode subassemblies (8), is shown in Figure 5. An arrangement of two type B carbon subassemblies, n type A carbon subassemblies, and n+1 lead electrodes comprises a more useful variant of the hybrid cell.
Assembly of the carbon-based electrodes, the lead electrodes, electrolyte, lugs connected to the electrodes for external connection of the supercapacitor, and a casing, is in keeping with adapted lead-acid battery assembly and manufacturing techniques. However, specific details of such construction are beyond the scope of the present invention.
It will be clear to those skilled in the art of assembly of lead-acid batteries that variations of design and assembly of supercapacitor energy storage devices in keeping with the present invention include multiple cell housings, having serial or parallel cell interconnection.
As a further discussion of the manner of usage and operation of the present invention, the electrochemical operation of the device is generally known to one skilled in the design of hybrid lead acid battery and porous carbon supercapacitor devices, and should be apparent from the above description. Accordingly, no further discussion relating to the manner of usage and operation is made herein.
