Such catalysts plugs are housed were deposited active platinum-based metal in an oxygen-hydrogen gas pellets catalyst, the catalyst according to the catalytic reaction (H 2 +1/20 2 → H 2 O + 57.8kcal) fever Since the reaction is a reaction, when the oxygen and hydrogen gas are excessive, when only the local part of the catalyst reacts intensively, and when the catalyst rubs due to vibration etc., the temperature of the catalyst becomes high and the oxygen and hydrogen near the catalyst become hot. There is a risk of explosion of the catalyst plug and storage battery due to ignition of hydrogen gas.

Therefore, an explosion-proof porous layer is provided between the catalyst and the inside of the storage battery using the principle of narrow gap explosion prevention so that even if the catalyst becomes an ignition source, a fire or the like does not propagate inside the storage battery.

In addition, since the fiber diameter is small (0.024 to 0.035 μm), when the catalyst is wrapped, the pore diameter is substantially reduced, and the narrow gap explosion-proof property is excellent.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above object, the present invention provides a catalyst container filled with ceramic wool containing alumina and silica as main components and a platinum-based catalyst, and a storage battery separately from the catalyst container. A catalyst plug for a storage battery comprising an exhaust pipe communicating the inside and the outside, wherein the fiber diameter of the ceramic wool is 1.0.

Action Ceramic wool made of alumina / silica having a fiber diameter of 1.0 to 5.0 μm can increase the fiber strength and retain the catalyst even when the packing density is reduced. Therefore, the air permeability can be increased while the catalyst is covered, and the reaction efficiency can be improved. However, if the packing density is too low, there is a problem in the explosion-proof effect by the narrow gap explosion-proof principle, so the packing density needs to be 0.2 g / cm 3 or more.

Oxygen / hydrogen gas generated in the battery in the normal charging state passes through the exhaust pipe 6, passes through the porous catalyst container 3, enters the inside thereof, and adheres palladium, as indicated by the white arrow. The reactant reacts on the catalyst pellets 4 and exits from the catalyst housing 3 as water or steam and returns to the inside of the storage battery. In the event that excessive oxygen / hydrogen gas is generated due to overcharging, a safety structure is provided so that the gas is discharged to the outside through the exhaust pipe 6 through the porous explosion-proof filter 1 mainly composed of alumina at the upper part of the outer unit 2.

The catalyst pellet 4 is wrapped in the catalyst container 3 with ceramic wool containing the above-mentioned 5 as a main component of alumina and silica. The ceramic wool 5 has a fiber diameter of 1.0 to 5.0 μm and a packing density of 0.7 g / cm 3 .
When the fiber diameter is smaller than 1.0 μm, it is easy to be taken into human body tissue by suction or the like, which is a safety problem.
On the other hand, if the thickness is 5.0 μm or more, the fiber strength increases, so that the workability of wrapping and inserting the catalyst pellets 4 into the catalyst housing 3 becomes poor. Further, when the packing density is 0.2 g / cm 3 or less, the pore size for imparting explosion-proof properties becomes large, and there is a problem in explosion-proof properties. Conversely, at 1.3 g / cm 3 or more, although explosion-proof properties can be imparted, the packing density is too high, and the air permeability becomes poor,
Since the supply of oxygen and hydrogen to the catalyst is reduced, and the ability to release generated water to the outside is also reduced, the catalytic reaction is reduced.

Figure 2 shows the fiber diameter of 1.0-5.0μ using 2cp type
m, reaction efficiency characteristics when using ceramic wool having a packing density of 0.7 g / cm 3 and when using conventional asbestos. The horizontal axis shows the water splitting current, and the vertical axis shows the reaction efficiency. The amount of generated oxygen / hydrogen gas is proportional to the current according to Faraday's law. In the case of using asbestos, the reaction efficiency decreases when the electrolysis current becomes 5 A or more because of the high ventilation resistance. However, when ceramic wool is used, 100% reaction efficiency is maintained up to 13A due to reduced ventilation resistance.
