전기이중층 커패시터 및 리튬이온 2차전지의 compact화 하기 위하여 격리막과 전해질의 기능을 동시에 갖는 겔 전해질에 대한 연구가 광범위하게 진행되어 왔다. 본 연구는 고분자 겔 전해질에 다량의 기공을 형성하여 전해질의 함침성을 높이기 위해 물리적 특성이 우수한 고분자 지지체 P(VdF-co-HFP)/PVP에 개공제 PVP를 이용하였으며, 가소제 PC와 EC, 그리고 지지전해질 $TEABF_4$를 이용하여 고분자 겔 전해질을 제조하였다. 분말활성탄 BP-20과 MSP-20, 전도성 개량제 Super P 및 결합제 P(VdF-co-HFP)와 PVP를 사용한 전극과 결합하여 단위셀을 제작하였고, 고분자 겔 전해질과 단위셀의 전기화학적 특성을 고찰하였다. PVP 첨가량에 따른 고분자 겔 전해질의 이온전도도는 7 wt%일 때 가장 우수한 이온전도도를 보였으나, 단위셀을 구성하여 전기화학적 특성을 분석한 결과 AC-ESR은 3 wt%일 때 가장 우수하였다. 또한 단위셀을 구성하여 전기화학적 특성 분석 결과 PC : EC = 33 : 33 wt%일 때 가장 우수하였다. 또한 PC를 단독 사용시 보다 PC와 EC의 혼합물을 가소제로 사용하였을 때 비정전용량 등 전기화학적 특성이 높았다. 고분자 겔 전해질의 두께에 따른 이온전도도는 $20{\mu}m$일때 가장 우수한 결과를 보였으나, 단위셀을 구성하여 전기화학적 특성 분석 결과 $50{\mu}m$일 때 가장 우수한 사이클 특성을 나타내었다. 고분자 겔 전해질과 전극사이를 열 압착한 단위셀은 31.41 F/g의 높은 비정전용량과 안정한 전기화학적 특성을 나타내었다. 따라서 P(VdF-co-HFP : PVP = 20 : 3 및 PC : EC = 44 : 22 wt%로 제조된 EDLC용 고분자 겔 전해질의 최적 조성비는 23 : 66 : 11 wt%이었으며, 두께 $50{\mu}m$일 때 $3.17{\times}10^{-3}S/cm$의 이온전도도를 나타내었다. 이 때 단위셀의 전기화학적 특성은 DC-ESR $2.69{\Omega}$, 비정전용량 28 F/g 및 쿨롱 효율 100%이었다.

The optimum polymer gel electrolyte composition ratio was 23 : 66 : 11 wt% of P(VdF-co-HFP) : PVP =20 : 3), (PC: EC =44 : 22) and TEABF$_4$. And the optimal thickness of polymer gel electrolyte was 50 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The electrochemical characteristics result of unit cell were 31.41 Fig of specific capacitance, and 3.21$\times$10$^{-3}$ S/cm of ion conductivity. Ion conductivity of polymer gel electrolytes decreased according to added PVP through impedance analysis, and it was higher in 7 wt%, but electrochemical characteristics of unit cell were better in 3 wt% PVP. And for excellent ion conductivity of polymer gel electrolytes, the use of a thin layer electrolyte(20 $\mu\textrm{m}$) was an effective method, but with unit cell application, the best thickness was 50 $\mu\textrm{m}$. Unit cell showed higher capacitance and more stable electrochemical performance when hot pressed between polymer gel electrolyte and electrode. This results from enhancement of the physical contact between the electrode and the polymer gel electrolyte and good accessibility of the liquid electrolyte to the electrode surface.

In the electrode fabrication of unit cell, we found that optimal the electrochemical characteristics were obtained with at 90 wt.% of activated carbon(BP-20), 5 wt.% of conducting agent(Ppy, Super P) and 5 wt.% of P(VdF-co-HFP)/PVP mixed binder. The electrochemical characteristics of unit cell with Ppy improver were as follows : 37.6 F/g of specific capacitance, 0.98 $\Omega$ of AC-ESR, 2.92 Wh/kg and 6.05 Wh/L of energy density, and 754 W/kg and 1,562 W/L of power density. It was confirmed that internal resistance were reduced due to the increase of electrical conductivity and filling density by the introduction of conductivity agent, and content of conducting agent was suitable in the range of 4~6 wt.%. According to the impedance measurement of the electrode with conductivity agent, we found that it was possible to charge rapidly by the fast steady-state current convergence due to low equivalent series resistance(AC-ESR), fast charge transfer rate at interface between electrode and electrolyte, and low RC time constant.

In the electrode fabrication of unit cell, it was ascertained that electrochemical characteristics were greatly increased with 90 wt.% of BP-20, 5 wt.% of Super P and 5 wt.% of mixed binder [P(VdF-co-HFP) : PVP =7 : 3] The self-discharge of unit cell showed that diffusion process was controlled by the ion concentration difference of initial electrolyte due to the characteristics of Electric Double Layer Capacitor (EDLC) charged by ion adsorption in the beginning, but this by current leakage through the double-layer at the electrode/electrolyte interface had a minor effect and voltages of curves were remained constant regardless of electrode material. The electrochemical characteristics of 2.3 V/3,000 F grade EDLC were as follows: 0.35 m of DC-ESR (100 A discharge), 0.14 mof AC-ESR (AC amplitude 100 mV), 2.80 Wh/kg (3.73 Wh/L) of energy density and 4.64 kW /kg (6.19 kW/L) of power density. Power output was compatible with electric vehicle applications, uninterrupted power supply and engine starter, in due consideration of Ragone relations.

Electrodes were fabricated based on activated carbon powder BP-20, conducting agent such as Super P, vapor grown carbon fiber (VGCF) and acetylene black (AB), and the mixed binders of flexible poly(vinylidenefluoridehexafluoropropylene) [P(VdF-co-HFP)] and cross linking dispersion agent of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to increase mechanical strength. According to impedance measurement of the electrode with the addition of conducting agent, we found that it was possible to charge rapidly by the fast steady-state current convergence due to low equivalent series resistance (AC-ESR, fast charge transfer rate at interface between electrode and electrolyte and low RC time constant. The self-discharge of unit cell showed that diffusion process was controlled by the ion concentration difference of initial electrolyte due to the characteristics of Electric Double Layer Capacitor (EDLC) charged by ion adsorption in the beginning, but this by current leakage through the double-layer at the electrode/electrolyte interface had a minor effect and voltages of curves were remained constant regardless of electrode material. We found that the 2.3V/230F grade EDLC would be applied to industrial safety usage such as uninterrupted power supply (UPS) because of the constant DC-ESR by IR drop regardless of discharge current.
