Technical background
Ultracapacitor has than battery and has higher power density, has higher energy density than traditional capacitor, not only can provide peak power with supporting use of battery to power truck etc., even can be separately for power tool or power truck provide power, to reduce the negative impact that burning provides energy that ecology is brought based on the petrochemical industry resource.
Electrode materials is the deciding factor of ultracapacitor performance, and people have more high-energy-density and the more electrode materials of high power density in exploitation always.Owing to there is the different states of oxidation, conducting polymer (polypyrrole, polyaniline, Polythiophene, polyhenylene, and their derivative equiconjugate superpolymer) can be used as the electrode materials of oxidation-reduction type ultracapacitor.Compare with the electrode materials (carbon material and metal oxide) of the common ultracapacitor of other two class, conducting polymer composite (being also referred to as conduction high polymer) is than carbon material (gac, carbon fiber and carbon nanotube) have higher specific storage and specific energy density, have lower cost than metal oxide (as ruthenium oxide).Therefore, conducting polymer is a kind of electrode material for super capacitor that has very much practical value.
Yet, conductive high molecular electrode material is followed dedoping when discharge, just mix ion is deviate to enter electrolytic solution in the polymkeric substance grid, this can cause the volumetric shrinkage of polymkeric substance, influence to ion at when charging embedded polymer thing grid and reduce the capacity of polymkeric substance, and cyclical stability that can the impact polymer electrode.Polymkeric substance specific conductivity when discharge condition (dedoping state) can sharply descend, and also will increase the internal resistance of electrical condenser greatly.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of volumetric properties and cyclical stability that can strengthen conducting polymer, the volume change that causes polymkeric substance when reducing to discharge and recharge further improves the preparation method of composite electrode material for super capacitor of the cycle performance of composite electrode material.

Referring to Fig. 1, granular material is a polypyrrole among the figure, and thinner rod shape thing is that (diameter is 10~20nm) to carbon nanotube, and thicker rod shape thing is the polypyrrole coated carbon nanotube.
Referring to Fig. 2 (a), (b) and (c) be respectively polypyrrole film, the cyclic voltammetry curve of polypyrrole/carbon nanotube and polypyrrole/functionalized carbon nano-tube, as can be seen from the figure, when polypyrrole film was 10mV/s in scanning speed, the polypyrrole film electrode showed comparatively ideal ultracapacitor cyclic voltammetry curve (near rectangle), but along with the increase of scanning speed, polypyrrole film just shows the cyclic voltammetry curve of resistance gradually, shown in Fig. 2 (a); Polypyrrole/carbon nanotube (not functionalization) shows the electrochemistry capacitance performance more excellent than polypyrrole film when rapid scanning, shown in Fig. 2 (b).This is because in this matrix material, and carbon nanotube not only can be contributed the electric double layer capacitance amount, and its hollow structure can absorb volumetric shrinkage and the expansion that causes when macromolecular material discharges and recharges, so mixture has ion transport characteristic faster.Yet polypyrrole/functionalized carbon nano-tube shows ion transport characteristic faster, shows the volumetric properties of better ultracapacitor during for 200mV/s in scanning speed, shown in Fig. 2 (c).Ionized carbon nanotube can mix to conducting polymer, because the volume of carbon nanotube is bigger, be not easy to deviate from from polymkeric substance when discharge, so the negative charge on the polymer chain will be compensated by the positively charged ion that enters in the solution.Negatively charged ion is deviate from polymer phase than bringing two benefits to I haven't seen you for ages when this and discharge, once being not deviate from the volume change that can not cause polymkeric substance and increase when charging difficulty of entering of ion owing to negatively charged ion, the 2nd, cationic volume is less than negatively charged ion, positively charged ion enter deviate from than negatively charged ion easier.And, functionalized carbon nanotube has dispersed preferably in solution, thereby can prepare the mixture of even structure, therefore, polymkeric substance/Ionized carbon mano-tube composite has than polymkeric substance/unionization carbon mano-tube composite charge-discharge characteristic faster.The specific storage of these three kinds of materials when different scanning rates as shown in Figure 3, when scanning speed was 10mV/s, the specific storage of two kinds of polypyrrole/carbon mano-tube composites all surpassed 200F/g, but the specific storage of polypyrrole/functionalized carbon nano-tube mixture is higher.When scanning speed is 200mV/s, it is 13.6% of 10mV/s that the specific storage instrument of polypyrrole film has scanning speed, it is 71.1% of 10mV/s that the specific storage of polypyrrole/carbon nanotube (not functionalization) mixture still has scanning speed, is 89.8% of 10mV/s and polypyrrole/functionalized carbon nano-tube mixture still has scanning speed.Therefore, the conducting polymer that makes/functionalized carbon nano-tube electrode materials has high conductivity, height ratio capacity and super-quick charging discharge capability.This composite materials can make high-energy-density, high-specific-power and long-life ultracapacitor.
