SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention contrives to solve the

disadvantages of the prior art.

An object of the invention is to provide an electric energy storage device of ultra high capacity by introducing a revolutionary novel method.

An electric energy storage device comprises a first conductor layer, a second conductor layer, a positive electrode, and a negative electrode.

The first conductor layer has both surfaces coated with ionic or dipole material across entire surface

thereof. The second conductor layer has both surfaces coated with ionic or dipole material across entire surface

thereof .

The positive electrode is attached to the first conductor layer of the multilayer structure.

The negative electrode is attached to the last

conductor layer of the multilayer structure.

The first conductor layer is stacked on top of the second conductor layer with a nanometer-scale interval therebetween and with the ionic material layer sandwiched between them so as to form a bilayer structure and at the same time a quantum heterostructure .

The first and second conductor layers form a bilayer configured to store electrical energy in the bilayer in a form of binding energy, wherein the electrical energy is stored in the multilayer by applying a DC voltage to the positive and negative electrodes.

Each of the first and second conductor layers may include activated carbons, electrically polarizable ionic materials, graphenes, carbon nanotubes, or any kind of conducting materials that are nanometer-scale and suitable to get coated with an ionic material for a conductor layer, ionic polymers, and ionic minerals.

An electric energy storage device 100 comprises a first conductor layer 10, a second conductor layer 20, a plastic sheet 50, a quantum dot 60, a positive electrode 30, and a negative electrode 40.

The first conductor layer 10 in a multilayer structure has both surfaces of which comprising first ionic or dipole material layer 12 adjacent to the entire conductor surface thereof and being insulated electrically. The second conductor layer 20 in the multilayer structure has both surfaces of which comprising first ionic or dipole material layer 12 adjacent to the entire

conductor surface thereof and being insulated electrically.

A bilayer hetero-structure is comprised of the first and second conductor layers and the ionic material layer sandwiched therebetween them, and a thickness of the conductor layers and the interval between them are

nanometer scale to form a quantum dipole system of excitons and ions, so that interaction between excitonic dipoles and ionic dipoles occur in the bilayer structure, and a

multilayer structure is comprised of the millions of ionic or dipole material layers and conductor layers of nanometer thickness, both conductor surfaces of which being coated with ionic or dipole materials across entire surface thereof and being insulated electrically, and the multilayer is consisted of the millions of the bilayers.

The plastic sheet of much less than millimeter

thickness is inserted between the two electrodes in order to block direct electric current between the two electrodes.

The quantum dot exists on the surface of the nano- thickness conductor sheet is effectively formed when the surface is stretched by press, so that an electronic charge can be easily localized in the dot and the polaron

interaction is more effective, and thickness of the

conductor layers and the interval between the conductor layers are nanometer scale to form a quantum dipole system of excitons and ions, so that interaction between excitonic dipoles and ionic dipoles occur in the bilayer structure.

The positive electrode 30 is attached to the first conductor layer 10 of the multilayer structure.

The negative electrode 40 is attached to the second conductor 20 of the multilayer structure.

Every conductor layer in the multilayer structure is disconnected, insulated and isolated from an electric

current, and each conductor layer is not a current

collector, but an excitonic dipole collector,

Neither electronic nor ionic current is allowed in the multilayer structure except for the electrodes which are attached to a copper (conductor) sheet, because the current in the multilayer structure destroys the dipoles.

The first conductor layer 10 is stacked on top of the second conductor layer 20 with a nanometer-scale interval and the ionic or dipole material layer is sandwiched

therebetween so as to form a multilayer structure and at the same time a quantum well heterostructure as shown in Fig. 1. The first and second conductor layers 10, 20 form the bilayers configured to store electrical energy in the bilayer in a form of binding energy, and the electrical energy is stored in the first and second conductor layers 10, 20 by applying a DC voltage 92 to the positive and negative electrodes 30, 40 as shown in Figs. 7 and 8.

The stored electrical energy is discharged and output to the first and second electrodes 30, 40 by using an external AC voltage 90 in a predetermined frequency range as a trigger power as shown in Fig. 8. The output from the external AC voltage 90 may be going through a transformer 94 as shown in Fig. 8.

When an external field is applied, an polarization of ions and an excitation of valence electrons to conduction band create an collective dipoles in the multilayer system through a propagation of a dipole field (pseudo spin wave) from the electrodes to the empty states.

The interaction energy between an excitonic dipole and an ionic dipole depends upon the directions and positions of the dipoles in the bilayer, which is a quasi one

dimensional interaction in the vertical direction to the layers .

In a nanometer scale, a charge polarization in quantum hetero-structure is a quantum dipole.

The states of electronic and ionic dipoles are

described in the eigenstates of two-level system, which represents a transition.

The interaction terms of excitonic dipole and ionic dipole describe a propagation of pseudo spin waves across the layers in the direction vertical to the layer sheet.

The pseudo spin waves propagate crossing the layers by an applied power, and as the pseudo spin waves propagate in the vertical direction, the dipoles spread all over the multilayer structure as the power continues to be provided by an external field.

A mechanism for a charging process is induced by a polaron interaction, and by a polaron interaction and

Coulomb force, the dipoles keep transforming into the anti- ferroelectric nanostructures in charge.

A polaron interaction is so strong that the excitons in the conductor layer have been broken into the electrons and the holes to form the positive polarons and the

negative polarons in the bilayer.

The positive polarons on one conductor layer and the negative polarons on the other conductor are combined together to form the excitonic bipolarons in the bilayer.

The mechanism for a storing energy in the multilayer structure is a transformation process ef- from the dipole system into an anti-ferroelectric nanostructure created by applied power in the bilayers.

The ionic or dipole material layers 12 comprise an ionic or dipole materials selected from the group

consisting of MgS04, LiPF6, LiC104, LiN (CF3S02 ) 2 , LiBF4, LiCF3S03, LiSbF6, Li4Ti5012, ionic polymers, and ionic minerals or any kind of ionic mineral materials and dipole materials. In a specific embodiment of the invention, the ionic or dipole material 12 is MgS04.

Each of the first and second conductor layers 10, 20 may include activated carbons, electrically polarizable ionic materials, graphenes, carbon nanotubes, or any kind of conducting materials that are nanometer-scale and suitable to get doped with an ionic material for a

conductor layer, ionic polymers, and ionic minerals. Each of the first and second conductor layers 10, 20 and the ionic or dipole material layers may be two- dimensional with a nanometer-scale thickness.

The first and second conductor layers 10, 20 may be stacked on top of each other and inbetween the dipole or ionic material layer is sandwiched, so as to form a 2+1 dimension. Each of the first and second conductor layers and the dipole or ionic material layer is 2-dimensional and forms a plane sheet which is not bent because of a dipole- dipole interaction depending on the directions of the

dipoles, and a bending the sheet may change the interaction, and wherein the dipole-dipole interaction between excitonic dipole and ionic dipole is quasi one dimensional.

The ionic or dipole material 12 coated on the first and second conductor layers 10, 20 may have a substantially zero electric charge transport property in a direction perpendicular to a plane of the first or last conductor layer 10, 20 so as to be an insulator in that direction and to make the materials polarizing.

A nanometer-sized bound state of charge polarization may be induced and created by a charge separation and a longitudinal optical mode of dipolar phonon between the first and second conductor layers 10, 20 as shown in Figs. 3-6. The nanometer-sized bound state of charge which is a quantum dipole may be induced and created by an applied external field, and the process of a quantum dipole

formation in the multilayer may be due to a dipole-dipole interaction of the electronic dipoles and ionic dipoles.

The electrical energy may be stored in an

antiferroelectric nanostructure as a binding energy in the bilayers 10, 20 as a charge double layer and the electronic charge double layer inside the conductor layers 10 , 20 as shown in Figs. 4, 6, and 7.

With respect to a density of the system, a high capacity means a high electric energy density and a high electronic charge density, and a nano-sized bound state of charges in the bilayer is introduced, and the millions of the bilayers are stacked one by one so that the multilayer structure is formed in the three dimensional volume, and the layer density of the multilayer structure is very high, so that the stored energy density in the multilayer is tremendously boosted.

The external AC guiding field may be applied to the electrical energy storage device for discharge, and the electrical energy is stored inside the electric energy storage device in three dimensional volume, and the anti- ferroelectric nanostructure functions as a micro-voltaic power source in discharge, and the output voltaic power is a sum of the micro-voltaic power.

The mechanical process of releasing the stored energy from the anti-ferroelectric structure may be related to a propagation of antiparallel pseudo spin waves to the electrodes along with the applied guiding field in the vertical direction in discharging process.

The antiparallel dipoles of their repulsive

interaction may propagate in the form of pseudo spins wave into the electrodes by an external guiding field in

discharging process.

At the electrodes, the stored energy may be released as a voltaic power by a guiding AC field because the interaction between the antiparallel dipoles in the quasi one dimensional line is repulsive. The frequency of the external AC field may be tuned with the dipole moments of the electrical energy storage device 100.

The antiferroelectric nanostructure may function as a micro-voltaic power source in discharging.

Each of the first and second conductor layers 10, 20 may be made from one selected from the group consisting of open structured activated carbon powder, carbon nano tube, and graphene .

Each of the first and second conductor layers 10, 20 may be made from high surface area activated carbon powder of which pores scale is in a nanometer range.

Each of the first and second conductor 10, 20 may be grown by a molecular beam epitaxy or metal-organic chemical vapor deposition.

The first and second conductor layers may be formed by pressing activated carbon mixtures with liquid ionic

materials until the pore diameter is squeezed as a form of bilayer to the nanometer size in the multilayer structure.

The multilayer structure may have a shape of a disc having about 0.2g weight, about 3mm diameter, and about 2mm thickness .

The direction of the electric current in the

electrodes and dipoles in the multilayer may be forward and backward in turns according to the external AC field, which has the most effective frequency range which is above the 15Mhz as shown in Fig. 25. The peak of output power depends upon a sample preparation. Oscillating dipoles in the bilayer can interact directly with oscillating electric vector of external electric field at the resonance.

The most effective frequency range for discharge may be above the 15Mhz. The DC output voltage is measured from 12MHz to 20Mhz with the bridge rectifier circuit as shown in Fig. 23. The battery sample is connected parallel to the rectifier. DC voltage is measured with the battery and without the battery in turns. Then the difference is

calculated.

The value of the voltage difference is positive in this frequency range which is above the 15MHz. It means that the energy is produced by the battery. But the

difference value in the range below the 15MHz is negative meaning that the energy is dissipated by the battery. In this frequency range, the battery is functioning like a resistor or capacitor.

The peak of output power depends upon a sample

preparation. Oscillating dipoles in the bilayer can

interact directly with oscillating electric vector of external electric field at the resonance.

Fig. 9 shows forms an electric charge double layer 10A, 20A formed by the first or last conductor layer 10, 20, and ionic dipoles 12B formed by longitudinal optical mode .

Figs. 10 and 11 show an electric potential of the charge double layer, where r is a distance from the border between the conductor layer 10, 20 and the ionic or dipole material 12, and r _Q is a polaronic interaction range. In the range of r < r _Q , the electric charges are bounded by polaronic interaction and Coulomb interaction, which cause a breaking of exciton into the electron and the hole.

Fig. 12 shows an electron-hole bound state among the first and second conductor layers in the bilayer 10, 20 and the ionic or dipole material 12. The electron, the hole, and the ions are interacting with one another through a polaronic bound state 72, electron-hole interaction 73 through polaronic optical mode, and a Coulomb interaction 75 .

The present invention provides a revolutionary novel electric energy storage cell whose electrical energy capacity is approximately more than lOMWh/Kg. This

breakthrough shows promise to resolve current energy crisis and global worming problems.

The novel electric energy storage device develops a capacitance by a mechanism entirely different from the mechanism of other ionic battery or other electrochemical battery or other kind of super capacitor and other

conventional battery.

The battery cell comprises a pair of electrodes and the multilayer. The conductor layers are coated with ionic materials or dipole materials with which cover the entire layer surface, so that any electric current is not allowed. The two dimensional thin conductor layers coated with ionic or dipole materials are piled up together to form a 2+1 dimensional structure which is a layer stacking. The interval between the conductor layers in the bilayer and the thickness of conductor layer should be a nanometer size to introduce a quantum hetero-structure which may be grown by molecular beam epitaxy and metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. Both techniques can control a layer thickness close to one atomic layer.

The multilayer structure is an insulator in the direction perpendicular to the layer surface. When DC voltage is applied perpendicular to the layer surface, the electrostatic potential between the positive electrode and the negative electrode can be in the form of dipolar expansion in the ionic insulator materials. On the conductor layer attached to the electrode, the charge carriers are built up by the interaction with ionic polarizations. In turn, the ion polarizations induce electronic charge polarization accompanied inside nearby conductor layer. It is a charge double layer in the conductor layer. So the electric energy supplied by both the positive and the negative electrode is transferred and stored in the cell in the form of binding energy if the electric charge polarization is stabilized by a polaronic and Coulomb interaction.

An exciton in the conductor layer breaks into an electron and a hole when a polaron interaction dominates and, and becomes positive polaron and negative polaron.

The interaction of the longitudinal mode of ionic dipole vibration with the electric charge is attractive to form a polaron. The interaction between the positive polaron and the negative polaron in the bilayer turns into an interaction between the electron and the hole mediated by longitudinal optical mode of ionic dipole vibration.

In the bilayer structure, the electron in the first conductor layer attracts the hole in the last conductor layer by the Coulomb force in the bilayer because the polaronic interaction dominates the excitonic interaction The direct Coulomb interaction causes the electrons in first conductor layer and the holes in the last conductor layer are bounded to form the excitons in the bilayer, which are different from the excitons in the conductor layer. The excitons in the bilayer are stable because of a spatial separation of the electrons and the holes, therebetween ionic dipole barrier.

The indirect exciton has a dipole moment in the bilayer. The interaction between the excitons and nearby ionic dipoles in the bilayer is a dipole-dipole interaction in the horizontal direction to the layer plane. An

interaction between the dipoles of the same direction is repulsive in the 2 dimensional plane, but an interaction between the dipoles of the opposite direction is

attractive. It is very important for the dipoles to keep the distance between them to be stabilized. The density of dipole shall be low for stable dipole-dipole interaction.

The dynamics of the dipoles of excitons and ions creates an antiferroelectric nanostructure in the bilayer. The electric energy delivered to the system is stored in the nano-structure . The electric energy can be stored more than 10 MWH /Kg in this sample, so the battery capacity increased drastically compared to a conventional battery.

In a macroscopic view, the excitons and ionic dipoles are electrically neutral, so the system is macroscopically neutral and it can help a charging process.

For a discharging process, AC field in the frequency range between 10 Hz to microwave frequency is used as a trigger power and guiding field. In this case the battery cell acts as a capacitor in response to AC input power. The input power is set to be tuned with macroscopic dipole wave which is a constructive assembly of the dipole wave. Each microstructure is a micro-power source for discharge process.

The present invention used activated carbons and electrically polarizable ionic materials, and may use graphenes, carbon nanotubes , or any kind of conducting materials that are nano-sized and suitable to get coated with an ionic material for a conductor layer, ionic polymers and ionic minerals. INTRODUCTION

The current energy crisis and environmental problem require revolutionary energy storage system. The

development of electric vehicle and portable electronic devices demands for a rechargeable battery of very high capacity. To meet these demands, it is required to develop a novel rechargeable battery whose capacity is extremely high way beyond conventional battery.

Another remarkable benefit of this novel battery is that it can be manufactured by much lower cost for mass production because the materials used by battery production are not rare on earth.

A revolutionary novel mechanism for storing electric energy is introduced, which is completely different from a conventional one. The new mechanism for the revolutionary energy storage device is related how to utilize a dipole- dipole interaction, which is different from the mechanism used in conventional battery and capacitor. Rather than utilizing a Faradaic mechanism and electrostatic mechanism, this device employs a novel method of a dipole- dipole interaction between the electronic dipoles and ionic dipoles. A conventional rechargeable battery has an

intrinsic limitation in its capacity. The function to store electric energy is usually based on electrochemical

reaction and ion transport. It is necessary to find out totally different and revolutionary way in storing electric energy to boost a battery capacity.

With respect to a density of the system, a high capacity means a high electric energy density and a high electronic charge density. A nano-sized bound state of charges in the bilayer is introduced, and the millions of the bilayers are stacked one by one so that the multilayer structure is formed in the three dimension. The layer

density of the multilayer structure is very high, so that the stored energy density in the multilayer is tremendously high .

The interaction among the comprising elements is

strong in a nanostructure so that the electric energy

density in the structure becomes very high. An electric structure to meet the above requirements may reduce to a nano-size .

The conductor layers are two dimensional planes of nano-sized thickness.

The coated conductor layers are stacked one by one to construct a 2+1 dimensional multilayer structure. The thickness of the layers and the interval between the

adjacent layers are in the range of a nanometer size.

The thin conductor layers are coated with ionic

materials which cover the entire surface to be an insulator.

The valence electrons in the conductor layer is

excited and separated to form the excitons. The ions

sandwiched between the conductor layers are polarized when a external voltage is applied, which is in contrast with an electrolytes for Li-ion battery, super-capacitor, which has an ion transport property of electrolytes.

An electronic charge separation in the conductor layer is described as an indirect exciton which has a dipole moment, likewise an ionic polarization as an ionic dipole moment. An exciton which is a bound state of en electron and a hole has a dipole moment.

A nano-sized bound state of a positive and a negative charges is created in the multilayer structure, which is induced by a charge separation and a polarization when an external field is applied to the battery cell. The quantum dipole system is consisted of dipoles of excitons and ions.

The liquid type ions are coated on the 2 dimensional carbon layer surfaces. The structure of the volume is 2+1 dimensional, and the layers of 2 dimensional surfaces piled up with one conductor layer and one ionic material layer in turn so that it becomes an insulator in the perpendicular direction to the surface.

A dipolar pseudo spin wave propagates in the

multilayer structure in the direction vertical to the layers. This mechanism is utilized for the process of charging or discharging.

The battery cell is composed of a pair of electrodes and the bilayers sandwiched between them. The conductor layers are coated with ionic materials or dipole materials with which cover the entire layer surface. The two

dimensional thin conductor layers coated with ionic or dipole materials are piled up together to construct a 2+1 dimensional structure which is a layer stacking. The distance between the bilayers and the thickness of

conductor layer should be a nano-sized to introduce a quantum heterostructure which may be grown by molecular beam epitaxy and metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. Both techniques can control a layer thickness close to one atomic layer.

The dipolar system created by applied field is

transformed into anti-ferroelectrics in the bilayers and the supplied electric energy to the dipolar system is stored in the antiferroelectric nanostructure by creating it in the bilayer.

The present sample is made of an activated carbon powder. The activated carbon powder is mixed and coated with liquid ions. The carbon powder mixture is pressed to obtain the bilayers which are transformed from the carbon pores .

Dipolar Pseudo-Spin Wave in the Multilayer When an external field is applied, an ion polarization and an excitation of valence electrons to conduction band create an collective dipoles in the multilayer system.

The ionic dipole and exciton density should be

appropriately low because a high density causes to destroy the dipoles. An electronic dipole annihilation occurs at high exciton density where two excitons are spatially too close .

The experimental result about exciton density is reported by G.N.Ostojic et. el. ^ ³ ^ The ID saturation density of excitons is

According to this figure, the ID density of ionic dipoles shall be less than 5xl0 ⁸ m ^_1 , and the 2D density of ionic dipoles is about 2.5 x 10 ¹⁷ m ^-2

Assuming that an exciton size is about nanometer scale

~10 ^_9 m , the separation distance is about 10 times larger than the exciton size.

In this case the dipole-dipole interaction in the vertical direction is qusi one dimensional.

The interaction energy between an excitonic dipole and an ionic dipole depends upon the directions and positions of the dipoles.

where dj is a representation of an excitonic dipole in the conductor layer and Dj is that of an ionic dipole.

In this multilayer structure, dj , Dj,and ?jj are parallel one another when DC field is applied. So, the sum of interaction energies in the direction vertical to the layer is

which is an attractive interaction.

In the nanometer scale, a charge polarization in quantum heterostructure shall be a quantum dipole which described in Quantum Mechanics.

The states of electronic and ionic dipoles shall be described in the eigenstates of two-level system in Q.M. language, which represents a transition.

P.W. Anderson ^ ' finds the meaningful terms in this expansion, which is expressed as a dipole-dipole

interaction .

He has employed a dipole-dipole interaction terms in the system of excitons. The most important terms which have the effect of exciting one atom and de-exciting the other, that are due to the interaction of the electrons with those on neighboring atoms, are multipolar terms according to Anderson .

where

Ψ ⁺ 0) = (l

In view of Anderson, the same result can be derived from the dipole-dipole interaction of the excitonic dipoles and the ionic dipoles.

In view of Anderson, the important dipolar terms which have a physical meaning are where the operators a^ ^" d ^~ and σ ^~ <J describe a creation of a dipole on a layer together with a destruction of a dipole on neighboring layer.

While the operator describes a creation of two dipoles at the same time and Oj Oj does a destruction of two dipoles at the same time. Both processes violate the conservation of energy and dipole number. Those terms of the operators shall be neglected.

The interaction terms of excitonic dipole and ionic dipole describe a propagation of pseudo spin waves across the layers in the direction vertical to the layer sheet.

If an external field is applied, the pseudo spin waves propagate crossing the layers as the above equation

indicates. As the pseudo spin waves propagate in the vertical direction, the dipoles spread all over the

multilayer structure as the power continues to be provided by an external field.

Novel Mechanism in Charge

A revolutionary novel mechanism employing a dipolar interaction for storing electric energy is completely different from a conventional method. Instead of utilizing a Faradaic mechanism or electrostatic mechanism, this novel device employs a dipole- dipole interaction between the electronic dipoles and ionic dipoles.

When DC voltage is applied perpendicular to the layer surface, the electrostatic potential between the positive electrode and the negative electrode can be expressed in the form of multipolar expansion in the polarizing

insulator materials of the multi-layered structure. The polarization of charges is in the range of nanometer scale, so it can be described as a quantum dipole.

An electrostatic potential can be expressed in a

multipolar expansion. There are terms which may describe excitation of a valence electron to conduction band in the conductor layer.

In the nanometer scale, a charge polarization in

quantum heterostructure shall be a quantum dipole which is described in Quantum Mechanics.

The states of electronic and ionic dipoles shall be described in the eigenstate of two-level system in Q.M.

language, which represents a transition.

In this multilayer structure, the excitonic dipole, ionic dipole, and ?jj are parallel one another in the case that DC field is applied in the vertical direction to the layers. So, the sum of interaction energies in the

direction vertical to the layer is simplified, which is an attractive interaction in charging process.

The important interaction terms which have a physical meaning are in vi w of Anderson,

where the operators a^ ^" d ^~ and σ ^~ <J describe a creation of a dipole on a layer together with a destruction of a dipole on the neighboring layer.

The above interaction terms of excitonic dipoles and ionic dipoles describe a propagation of pseudo spin waves across the layers in the direction vertical to the layer sheet .

If an external DC field is applied in the direction vertical to the layers, the pseudo spin waves propagate crossing the layers as the above equation indicates. As the pseudo spin waves propagate in the vertical direction, the dipoles spread all over the multilayer structure as the power continues to be provided by an external field.

The electrical charge built-up at the nodes of the wave is due to a dipole-dipole interaction of electronic and ionic dipoles.

In microscopic view, the polarization of ions is a dipole for a pair of a positive ion and a negative ion like a molecule. The ionic dipole can be described as quantum dipole, which has an excited state and ground state.

A charge separation between the electrons and the holes is accompanied by the neighboring ions in the

conductor layer. An electron excited from a valence band to a conduction band at the surface of the layer moves to the other side of the surface of the layer and leaves a hole behind .

The bound state of an electron and a hole is an indirect exciton which has a dipole moment in the conductor layer.

The process of creating excitons in the conductor layer is due to a dipole-dipole interaction between an indirect excitonic dipoles and ionic dipoles. This process continues to be progressing by an applied external power.

Those dipoles themselves are unstable if an applied external field is terminated. Unlike a capacitor, a charge double layer is not formed at the interface between

electrode and electrolyte.

The life time of the excitons and ionic dipoles is so short that the dipoles can be destroyed as soon as an applied field is terminated. In order to keep the stored energy stable inside the multilayer structure, some binding forces are necessary to keep the dipolar polarization stable.

In this case, a polaronic interaction is an

appropriate dynamical mechanism.

A polaron is defined as a composite particle of electron plus ionic lattice deformation. The polaron interaction can hold an electronic charge close to the polarized ions.

In the bilayer both the electron and hole in the exciton can be pulled away by the polaronic forces in the opposite direction. The polaron interaction prevents the exciton from being destroyed by itself.

When the polaronic interaction is activated, an electron (a hole) of the excitonic dipole is pulled by the longitudinal mode of ionic dipole vibration, and the electron and the hole in the excitonic dipole are pulled away from each other and separated more by the force. In turn, the dissipating energy of the electrons (the holes) creates more the longitudinal motion of the ionic dipole vibration. This process keeps progressing until the excitonic binding is diminished, and the polaronic binding dominates in the bilayer.

When the polaronic function dominates the excitonic function, the positive polarons and negative polarons appear in the bilayer. The positive polaron can be combined by negative polaron to form an excitonic bipolaron by the Coulomb force of the electron and the hole. The collective phenomenon of those can be anti-ferroelectrics .

In macroscopic view, it is composed of the electronic charge double layers between the interval of two conductor layers comprising the bilayer, and the ionic charge double layer at the interval, which is in contrast with the case of super-capacitor. A charge double layer is formed at the interface between electrode and electrolyte in super- capacitor .

The electric energy supplied by both the positive and the negative electrodes is transferred and stored in the antiferroelectric nanostructure in the form of binding energy .

An electrostatic energy is stored in the dipole layers which are formed by an applied external field, and later in the anti-ferroelectric structure.

When a polaron interaction dominates to break an exciton into the electron and the hole, the electron placed at the surface of first conductor layer may see the hole sitting at the surface of the last conductor layer, and they may be bound through the Coulomb interaction to form an indirect excitonic dipole between the two conductor layers in the bilayer. This process is possible because the distance between the layers is also a nanometer size. The electron and the hole facing each other form an exciton between the first and second conductor layers in the bilayer, which is of the excitonic bipolaron.

DC electric power is applied in the direction

perpendicular to the layer surface.

The polarized ions are two dimensional dipole sheet.

It creates a strong dipolar field on the surface of the nearby conductor layer in the multilayer system.

The density of the ionic materials which are coated on the surface of the conductor layer may be low enough so that the polarization is to be a dipole. The ionic materials coated on the surface of the conductor thin layers and sandwiched in the bilayer are polarized and lined up along with the external DC field.

The mechanism for a charging process is induced by a polaron interaction. If a polaron interaction is activated, the dipoles in the bilayers keep transforming into the antiferroelectric nanostructures in charging process.

The mechanism for a storing energy in the multilayer structure is a transformation process creating an

antiferroelectric nanostructure in the bilayers.

The interaction between the dipoles of the same direction is a repulsive force in the horizontal direction. On the other hand, the interaction between the dipoles of the opposite direction is an attractive force.

The revolutionary way to enhance a battery capacity is to create a nanostructure comprised of the excitonic dipoles and the ionic dipoles combined together, which is a stable anti-ferroelectric nanostructure in the bilayer.

An electric energy is stored in the form of the antiferroelectric nanostructure in the bilayer.

The interaction between the excitonic dipoles and the ionic dipoles creates a collective phenomenon to form an antiferroelectric nanostructure in the bilayer. This phenomenon keeps the dipole system stable in the bilayer.

The cohesive energy in the case atom is defined as the difference in energy between the collection of free atoms and the collection of these atoms to make a metal. Likewise the energy transferred to the system to create an

antiferroelectric nanostructure is stored as a binding energy.

Novel Mechanism in Discharge When the battery cell is charged, the electronic charges and the ionic charges are bound together in the dipole system to form an anti-ferroelectric nanostructure in the bilayer, which is electrically neutral.

There are no apparent charges on the electrodes because a dipole system is bound state of positive and negative charge. A voltaic power is not produced by itself.

A guiding AC field is applied to the cell as a trigger power for discharge. The dipoles in the cell respond to the external AC power.

All electronic dipoles and ionic dipoles which are not in the antiferroelectric bound state are forced to

oscillate along with the applied AC field. So the polaron interaction is not able to be effective for AC field.

The electric dipoles which are stored inside a

superstructure begin to get released in response to the applied external field from the antiferroelectric structure and turns into the excitonic dipoles and the ionic dipoles, which is a reverse process to the storing energy. The dipoles released from the superstructure faced with anti- parallel dipoles from the applied field. Their interaction is repulsive.

In the case that excitonic dipole dj and ionic dipole Dj are antiparallel each another, the interaction in the direction ver ical to the layer is

which is a repulsive interaction.

The propagation of antiparallel pseudo spin waves into the electrodes is a mechanism for discharge. The interaction between antiparalell dipoles of dj and

D _j does not come to be a polaron interaction in this case.

The battery cell is comprised of the electrodes and the multilayer structure. As the antiparalell pseudo spin waves propagate in the multilayer structure to the

electrodes, the cell responds and acts like a capacitor to an external guiding AC field because the polaron

interaction is not in action.

Because the interaction is repulsive, the dipoles stored in the antiferroelectric structure get released and travelled to the electrodes along with the guiding AC field. At the electrodes, the charges get released from the dipole bound states because the dipole-dipole interaction is

repulsive .

The battery cell responds to an external AC field like a capacitor.

A each antiferroelectric structure of the battery cell acts like micro-voltaic power source. Macroscopic electric power may be enhanced by the micro-voltaic power.

In this case, the dispersion equation of AC field may be a complex.

The propagation of antiparalell pseudo spin waves into the electrodes is a mechanism for discharge. As the

antiparalell pseudo spin waves propagate in the multilayer structure, the cell responds and acts like a capacitor to AC guiding external field because the polaron interaction is not in action.

Polaron Interaction

A polaron is defined as a composite particle of

electron plus ionic poarization. The acoustic vibration of dipoles is a dipolar phonon which is arisen by the dipolar interaction among ionic dipoles in the multilayer.

An optical vibration is due to the interaction between positive and negative charges.

The dissipating energy of an excited electron

transfers to the optical phonon by scattering interaction, then a polaron interaction becomes effective in the bilayer. The electron pulls nearby positive ion toward it and pushes nearby negative ion away.

The dipolar phonon is closely related to the optical phonon in the linear chain of dipoles, which is qusi one dimensional in the vertical direction to the layers. The electron in the conductor layer is pulled toward the

positive ion and the hole toward the negative ion through the interaction of acoustic dipolar phonon.

A conductor layer is adopted because the lower

excitation energy of a valence electron is required for jumping to conduction band.

The length of the layer period in the multilayer

structure should be in the range of nanometer scale for an electronic energy storage device, because the spatial

period of the layers in the vertical direction is directly related to a polaron formation in the bilayer, and the thickness of layers as well.

The threshold energy of an electron moving with the momentum P dissipating its energy to create a phonon or a dipolar phonon according to C. Kittel ⁽ · ¹ - ⁾ is

where m _e is an electron mass and c _s is the longitudinal group velocity of sound. F '-'mm

P = « 2 l0- ²⁶ g 10 ^"16 erg « 10 1- ^" 21

In the multilayer structure, the electron momentum is related to the periodicity of layer structure in the vertical direction.

According the Bloch' s Theorem, the electronic wave function is written with periodic potential by the layers as

ψ£(χ) = e ^ikx u _nk (x)

where k is a crystal momentum with a periodic layer.

The momentum P of an electron is related to a crystal momentum k when an external field is applied.

P = hk

It can be written as

,ikx = e ft

and kx =— x = 2π

h

From the above equation, x can be calculated.

10 ^"21

^■ x = 2π

10 ²⁷ erg. sec ^'

therefore

x « 10 ^_6 cm

The length of layer period x in the vertical direction is approximately order of ~10 ^_8 m, which is around in the range of nanometer scale.

The layer thickness and interval of multilayer

structure should be in the range of nanometer scale in order to have a polaron interaction effective. If the thickness and interval of the layers are larger than nanometer scale, there is no polaron interaction

effective and the device functions just like a simple

capacitor .

When an electron has energy above the threshold, a polaronic interaction is effective only with the vertical component of an optical vibration of ionic polarization.

The charge density that is due to ionic vibration at the conductor layer is

p(x) = -V-D

Only the longitudinal mode contributes to the charge

density as the above equation indicates.

The dissipating energy of an electronic charge that is above the threshold energy in the conductor layer in turn creates the ionic dipolar phonons in the vertical direction, so they are bound together to form polarons.

The electrons sitting at the surface of one conductor layer and the holes sitting at the surface of the

neighboring conductor layer interact as an polaronic

exciton between the conductor layers in the bilayer.

The antiferroelectric nanostructure is induced by the excitonic bipolaron interaction and the Coulomb force

between the electrons and the holes in the bilayer. In this case the structural transition from the dipole arrays to the antiferroelectric nanostructure occurs.

The antiferroelectric nano-structure becomes stable due to the dipole-dipole interactions which are in the direction horizontal to the layers. The antiferroelectric structure has two dimensional structure in the bilayer. In the case of the dipole system in the multilayer structure, the interaction in the horizontal direction and the interaction in the vertical direction should be

considered separately in 2+1 dimensional structure.

A Creation of an Anti erroelectric Nanostructure

The interaction of negative polarons and positive polarons turns into the interaction of the electrons and the holes in the bilayer. The spatial separation of the electron and hole is nano-sized to form an indirect

exciton. An electron which is on the conductor and a hole which is on the neighboring conductor in the bilayer are to be formed and bounded in pair of them. The excitons are created by Coulomb interaction and a polaron mediated interaction in the bilayer.

The indirect excitons bounded between two conductor layers have a dipole moment. The dipoles of the excitons are lined up along the horizontal direction to the layer plane. The direction of the excitonic dipoles is opposite to that of ionic dipoles in the bilayer to form an anti- ferroelectric configuration.

The direction of all dipoles in the multilayer is perpendicular to the layers. A force between dipoles of the same direction is attractive, but between dipoles of opposite direction is repulsive in the quasi one

dimensional vertical line to the layers. The dynamics of the excitonic dipoles and ionic dipoles creates an anti- ferroelectric nanostructure due to a dipolar interaction along the horizontal direction. The anti-ferroelectrics in the bilayer is a different phenomenon from an ordering of dielectric molecules. The electric energy delivered to the system is stored as a binding energy of the nanostructures . The dipole system in the multilayer is unstable by itself while the anti-ferroelectric structure is stable by itself, and the electric energy supplied by an external power can be stored in the anti-ferroelectric structure.

Binding Energy of the Anti erroelectric Nanostructure

The antiferroelectric nanostructure is regarded as a composite system composed of the electronic dipoles and the ionic dipoles.

An electron and a hole in the conductor layer are bound into a pair to form an excitonic dipole. The

excitonic dipoles in the conductor layer and ionic dipoles are transformed into the antiferroelectrics in the bilayer, which is induced by polaron and Coulomb interaction.

The antiferroelectric nanostructure is stabilized by the exchange interaction between the adjacent dipoles. The excitonic dipolar bosons and ionic dipolar bosons are coupled each other due to dipole exchange interaction in the horizontal direction, and can be transformed into diagonalized form of the interacting Hamiltonian, so the interaction disappears between the excitonic bosons and the ionic bosons. It means that the nanostructure is stable.

The electric energy can be stored approximately more than 10 MWh/Kg in this sample, so the battery capacity increased drastically compared to a conventional battery.

The formation of nano-structure with the aim of storing electric energy and creating a novel nanostructure, can provide unique collective properties of

antiferroelectrics .

Anti-ferroelectric nanostructure is of physical importance for energy storage devices. The

antiferroelectric structures possess antiparallel-oriented electric dipoles, as a result, no macroscopic polarization can arise.

(1) The collective mechanism of the dipole systems can be explained in analogy with anti-ferromagnetic systems.

(2) The dipolar wave propagates along the vertical

direction inside the sample, so that the electric energy can be stored or released inside the sample in three dimensional volume, so it can enormously boost the capacity of the battery cell.

(3) A capacitor has a limitation of charging power due to surface charges because of repulsive force between like- charges. But the breakthrough of this novel type battery has achieved by the capability to store electric energy in the volume in nanometer scale not on the surface and a neutrality of the nanostructure which cuts down the

repulsive electric force between the like-charges.

In summary, energy crisis and global warming problem demand a solution by developing a novel energy storage device which has an extremely large capacity.

The demand for novel battery is that its capacity is way beyond conventional battery.

The manufacturing cost for the battery should be much lower than conventional battery for mass production. The materials composing this novel battery should be abundant on earth.

The present invention is related to electrical energy storage systems which is rechargeable over numerous cycles to provide reliable power sources for a wide range of electrical devices.

It is an object of this invention to provide an energy storage device having extended energy storage capacity over those previously unknown and novel methods. The main principle is to create an antiferroelectric nanostructure in the bilayer. The electric energy delivered to the system is stored in the anti-ferroelectric nanostructure as a binding energy.

The battery sample was made of an activated carbon powder and liquid ions. It may be useful for semiconductor technologies to construct a multilayer sample. But it is possible for the case of using activated carbon to obtain same results.

Activated carbon powder and liquid ions are mixed together, so liquid ions get adsorbed into the micro pores of the activated carbon. The average diameter of the micro pores is a nano-size.

After the carbon mixtures are dried out, it is pressed until the pore diameter is squeezed as a form of bilayer to the size at which the indirect excitons are able to get created in the bilayer. The pressed carbon mixtures are 2+1 dimensional layer stack.

To prevent direct current, thin insulator plastic film is used to separate the positive and the negative

electrodes .

The positive and the negative electrodes are attached to the multilayer surface parallel to the layers to

fabricate the cell.

The composite battery cell may be manufactured as follows .

A storage system at least one dissociable salt is selected from the ionic material group consisting of MgS04, LiPF6, LiC104, LiN ( CF3S02 ) 2 , LiBF4, LiCF3S03, LiSbF6,

Li4Ti5012, etc. any kind of ionic mineral materials and dipole materials. The material is selected from the group of open structured activated carbon powder, carbon nano tube, graphene .

For this sample, the material is selected from the group consisting of high surface area activated carbon powder .

The liquid ions are absorbed into the pores of the activated carbons and coated on the surfaces of the pores and on the whole surface of carbons.

MgS04 was selected as an ionic material and mixed with oils to produce liquid ions.

The present invention relates to fabrication methods for activated carbon based rechargeable electric energy storage. More particularly, the present invention relates to a novel method to develop a battery of a huge capacity.
