Technical Field
[0001] Cross - reference to related applications This application claims the benefit of priority of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 389,509, filed on July 15, 2022, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0002] The present invention relates to improved capacitors, particularly hybrid capacitors. More specifically, the present invention relates to an improved method for forming a hybrid capacitor comprising a conductive polymer dispersion.
Background Art
[0003] Conductive polymers are widely used in electrolytic capacitors. The most promising systems are suitable for use in high - temperature environments and at high voltages. Solid conductive polymers can be combined with a liquid electrolyte called a hybrid capacitor to ensure low leakage current and high reliability during the operating life.
[0004] By using a conductive polymer dispersion in a hybrid capacitor, a significant advancement in the art has been achieved. An exemplary system is PEDOT / PSSA. In this exemplary system, 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) polymerizes in a positively charged conductive polymer chain to form poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT). Poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid) (PSSA) is used as a dopant and anionic counterion. An excess amount of PSSA per mole is used to obtain a negative Z-potential at the particle surface to stabilize the polymer nanoparticles in a dispersion such as water. PSSA has a drawback in terms of the conductivity of the final polymer film because it may inhibit PEDOT from reaching the core in the film. However, PSSA can dissolve in a hybrid capacitor in which the conductive system is represented by both a solid and a liquid electrolyte. PSSA in solution is aggressive to some electrolytic capacitors such as aluminum capacitors. The acid can lead to an increase in leakage current, corrosion of the metal, and especially failure of the capacitor in a high humidity environment.
[0005] There has been a continuing need for improvement in hybrid capacitors, particularly with regard to stability. Provided herein are an improved hybrid capacitor and a method of forming an improved hybrid capacitor. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0014] The present invention relates to an improved hybrid capacitor and an improved manufacturing method of a hybrid capacitor. More specifically, the present invention relates to the formation of a polymer dispersion comprising a prepolymer having an excess of anionic counterions and a monomer dispersed in a dispersion liquid. This polymer dispersion is used to form the solid cathode layer of a hybrid capacitor containing a liquid electrolyte. As a result, the characteristics of the capacitor are improved, particularly the equivalent series resistance (ESR) and the stability of the capacitance are improved.
[0015] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 schematically shows an active element partially unwound before being inserted into a container and optionally, but preferably, impregnated with a liquid electrolyte. In FIG. 1, the active element, generally designated 10, includes an anode 12 and a cathode 14, and there is a separator 16 therebetween which may be a conductive separator. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the anode has a dielectric. The conductive separator is one in which a conductive polymer is coated on the separator or the separator is impregnated with a conductive polymer, preferably saturated. The anode lead wire 20 and the cathode lead wire 22 extend from the wound capacitor and ultimately form an electrical connection to the circuit. It will be understood from the present specification that the anode lead is in electrical contact with the anode, the cathode lead is in electrical contact with the cathode, and is electrically insulated from the anode or the anode lead. Tabs 24 and 26 are generally employed to electrically connect the anode lead to the anode and the cathode lead to the cathode, as is known in the art. A closure 28, such as an adhesive tape, prevents the active element from being unwound during handling or assembly. Thereafter, the closure serves little purpose even though it is part of the completed capacitor.
[0016] The capacitor is shown in a cross-sectional schematic view in FIG. 2. In FIG. 2, the capacitor, generally designated 60, includes an active element 10 as described herein within a housing 64. The housing, which may also be called a can in the art, is preferably conductive and may function as a lead or be in electrical contact with the cathode lead 66. The cathode tab 68 is in electrical contact with the housing or the cathode lead. The anode tab 70 is in electrical contact with the anode lead 72. A lid 74, such as a gasket, and a seal 76 seal the housing to suppress air exchange between the interior of the housing and the outside air. In one embodiment, the seal is a hermetic seal.
[0017] The present invention is specific to the improvement of a conductive polymer layer, more specifically, a conductive polymer layer on at least one of an anode, a cathode, or a dielectric of a solid electrolyte forming a separator.
[0018] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. FIGS. 3 and 4 schematically show a comparison between a conventional capacitor forming process and the process of the present invention. FIG. 3 shows a conventional process shown to clarify the present invention, and FIG. 4 shows the process of the present invention.
[0019] In FIG. 3, as schematically shown at A, a preformed polymer dispersion 100 is applied to a dielectric 102 such as an anode 12. The preformed polymer dispersion contains a conductive polymer 106 and an anionic counter ion 108 and is in the form of particles. Without being limited to theory, it is assumed that the conductive polymer and the anionic counter ion form core-shell particles in which the conductive polymer phase is at least partially surrounded by the anionic counter ion. The particles are suspended in a dispersion 110 such as water. The dispersion is removed by drying or the like, and as schematically shown at B, aggregated particles dispersed on the surface of the dielectric are obtained. Upon curing, the conductive polymer phase and the anionic counter ion phase combine, and it is assumed that a conductive polymer film having a negative surface is formed by at least partial encapsulation of the conductive polymer by the anionic counter ion phase, as schematically shown at C.
[0020] In FIG. 4, the dispersion 120 of the present invention comprises a preformed polymer dispersion comprising a conductive polymer 106 and an anionic counter ion 108, and has the shape of particles as discussed in connection with FIG. 3. The dispersion of the present invention further comprises a monomer 122 that is not particularly soluble in the dispersion 110, and thus preferably comprises a surfactant to stabilize the monomer, whereby the dispersed monomer forms a dispersed monomer that is assumed to be in the form of particles 122, as schematically shown at A. The conductive polymer, dispersed monomer, anionic counter ion, and any surfactant are homogenized to obtain a homogenized dispersion. When the dispersion is removed, for example, by drying, it is assumed that the dispersed monomer at least partially encapsulates the particles of the conductive polymer and the anionic counter ion, as schematically shown at B. The monomer polymerizes preferably by oxidation from oxygen by being exposed to air, as schematically shown at C, during removal of the dispersion. Instead of a core that is mainly positively charged and a shell that is mainly negatively charged, as schematically shown in FIG. 3, a conductive polymer layer is obtained in which the anionic counter ion is homogeneously dispersed throughout the conductive polymer layer, so that the surface is neutralized, i.e., positively charged, and as schematically shown in FIG. 4, the negative potential of the surface decreases and the resistivity of the surface layer decreases. Evidence of the structure was obtained by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM EDS) and conductivity tests. As schematically shown in FIG. 3, the SEM EDS of the surface formed from the conventional dispersion has a surface layer concentration with a sulfur content of less than 0.75 wt%, whereas the sample of the present invention has a high surface layer concentration of sulfur of at least 1 wt%, more preferably at least 1.2 wt%, even more preferably at least 1.4 wt%. Zeta potential analysis of the solution supported the structure, the analysis of which. The zeta potential of the comparative solution was about -67.7 mV, whereas the zeta potential of the solution of the present invention was -56.6 mV, indicating that the sample of the present invention is more positively charged, supporting the conclusion that there is more polymer on the surface than the anionic counter ion.
[0021] As schematically shown in FIG. 4, the slurry of the present invention provides a compact polymer film surface where the conductive polymer is in contact with the liquid electrolyte. When using a conventional slurry, the surface of the conductive polymer layer is composed of anionic counterions, which are non-conductive substances. The non-conductive layer on the surface functions as an insulating layer, and there is a highly conductive layer inside it. A more compact conductive polymer film with a minimized amount of non-conductive components on the surface has a significantly higher conductivity and improves the electrical characteristics of the capacitor. The advantages of the process of the present invention include the capacitor of the present invention having a low ESR and excellent stability.
[0022] Without being limited to theory, it is assumed that during oxidative polymerization, an excessive amount of anionic counterions, called dopants, bind to the newly formed conductive polymer from the dispersed monomer, thereby inhibiting the dissolution of anionic counterions into the liquid electrolyte of the completed capacitor. Since the dissolved anionic counterions are aggressive substances that deteriorate some capacitor components, this is an important improvement in capacitor technology. The oxidative polymerization of the dispersed monomer results in a better bond between the polymer and the substrate, preventing the peeling of the polymer film, and thus improving the stability regarding the capacitance of the capacitor.
[0023] The present invention provides a method for forming a conductive polymer and a capacitor that mitigate the harmful effects of an excessive amount of PSSA on the performance of the capacitor. In the present invention, the polymer dispersion is prepared in a monomer emulsion. More specifically, pre-polymerized solid nanoparticles are co-dispersed in a dispersion, preferably water, and the monomer, and the monomer is in the form of micro- or nanometer-sized droplets. In this case, the main dispersion liquid is immiscible with the monomer liquid, and it is preferable to suppress oxidative polymerization by excluding the presence of an oxidizing agent in the slurry. The monomer droplets are preferably stabilized with a surfactant.
[0024] For the purpose of the present invention, the excess of the anionic counterion represented by PSSA exceeds the amount necessary to balance the charges of the conductive polymer represented by PEDOT and the monomer represented by EDOT. After oxidative polymerization, the monomer becomes a polymer, or typically a monomer and a polymer, and EDOT becomes PEDOT. The weight ratio of PEDOT to EDOT / PSSA in the dispersion is preferably at least 1:1.5 to 1:5, more preferably about 1:2 to 1:3. The ratio of PEDOT / PSSA in the capacitor is preferably at least 1:1.5 to 1:5, more preferably 1:2 to 1:3. The molar ratio of PEDOT / PSSA in the dispersion is preferably at least 1:1.16 to 1:3.9, more preferably at least 1:1.5 to 1:2.3. The molar ratio of PEDOT / PSSA in the capacitor is preferably at least 1:1.16 to 1:3.9, more preferably at least 1:1.5 to 1:2.3.

[0026] The dielectric is not particularly limited. The oxide of the anode material is a particularly suitable dielectric because its use is established in the art and it has high manufacturing convenience, and there is no limitation thereto.

[0033] [Example 1] An aluminum anode with a dielectric layer formed in advance, an aluminum cathode, PEDOT / PSSA as a conductive polymer, gamma-butyrolactone (GBL), sulfolane, a quaternary alkylammonium phthalate, an electrolyte composed of polyethylene glycol, and a nitro compound as a stabilizer were used to fabricate an axial hybrid capacitor with a working voltage of 63V and a capacitance of 400 uF. This polymer is characterized in that the weight ratio of PEDOT / PSSA is 1:3 and the molar ratio of monomer EDOT / PSSA is about 1:2.5.
[0034] The capacitor group of the present invention was fabricated using the same conductive polymer dispersion containing 1% EDOT emulsion.
[0035] The capacitors were tested at 63V and 150°C.
[0036] After 250 hours of testing, the breakdown of both types of capacitors was carried out. In the capacitors of the comparative example, significant damage to the conductive polymer was observed, but not in the examples of the present invention. The damage was indicated by the presence of dark brown residues in the tab area where the tab was connected to the anode lead. Corrosion of the metal was confirmed from the residues. The residues were determined to be sulfone groups by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis.
[0037] The surfactant for dispersing the monomers in the dispersion of the present invention is preferably selected from the group consisting of nonionic surfactants, fluorosurfactants, anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, and acetylene surfactants.

[0038] Example 1 shows that the control polymer is aggressive towards hybrid capacitors and may lead to corrosion of the metal within the capacitor. The polymer of the present invention has improved material compatibility. Such a significant improvement is due to the oxidative polymerization of EDOT that occurs during modification. Curing is carried out at a temperature higher than 100°C, approximately 150°C, at which temperature EDOT polymerizes by air and binds an amount of PSSA exceeding PSSA from the solid polymer.
[0039] [Example 2] An aluminum anode with a dielectric layer pre-formed, an aluminum cathode, PEDOT / PSS as the conductive polymer, gamma-butyrolactone (GBL), sulfolane, quaternary alkyl ammonium phthalate, and polyethylene glycol as the electrolyte, and a nitro compound as the stabilizer were used to fabricate a 63V, 100uF V-chip hybrid capacitor. This polymer is characterized by a weight ratio of PEDOT / PSSA of 1:3.
[0040] A capacitor was fabricated by dispersing the same conductive polymer dispersion in a 1% EDOT emulsion.
[0041] The durability test of the capacitor was carried out at 135°C and 63V (DC).
[0042] The results showed a significant difference in the initial ESR value and the ESR stability over the test time. The results are shown graphically in Figure 5, where the ESR is shown as a function of time.
[0043] [Example 3] The conductivity of a representative slurry of the present invention containing PEDOT / PSSA / EDOT was evaluated by comparison with a representative comparative slurry containing PEDOT / PSSA. The results are summarized in Table 1 and Table 2.
[0044] To prepare the sample, EDOT was slowly added to PEDOT / PSS (1:3) with a Silverson L5MA homogenizer. After the addition, the rotation speed was increased to 900 rpm for 15 - 20 minutes.
[0045] According to the experimental results, the conductivity of the final polymer film formed from the slurry of the present invention in air was measured on a glass slide by drying 1 g of the slurry at 90 °C for 15 minutes and then at 150 °C for 15 minutes, and showed significantly higher conductivity than the comparative slurry as shown in Table 2. The examples of the present invention showed no significant change even after 10 days of storage and exhibited acceptable stability in terms of pH, conductivity, and viscosity.
