Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase the mechanical strength of an unformed plate, to lengthen the life of a battery, and to make it possible to fill low density paste containing a large volume of sulfuric acid by containing germanium in an active material. CONSTITUTION:A positive plate for a battery is produced by adding germanium oxide(GeO2) in paste. The positive plate is aged, then a vibration coming-off test is conducted before a formation process. The test shows that the amount of the coming off of an active material is decreased with increase in germanium oxide content. As a result, the content of germanium oxide is limited to 0.5%. If the content exceeds 0.5%, the paste is rapidly solidified and its filling is made difficult. However, increase in the content of germanium oxide shows increase in the life of a battery. Metallic germanium powder shows the same effect as germanium oxide. By adding germanium oxide in paste and increasing the amount of sulfuric acid used for kneading, the initial capacity of a battery is increased.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks and is characterized by the presence of germanium in the paste, thereby (a) improving the mechanical strength of the electrode plate and making it possible to (b) It is possible to increase the hardness of a paste containing a large amount of sulfuric acid and improve the filling properties of such a paste.

実施例 以下、本発明を実施例によって説明する。Example Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained by examples.

Example 1 Positive electrode plates for automobile batteries with a theoretical capacity of 5112 Ah were produced by varying the amount of germanium oxide (Ge 02 ) added in the paste. The paste density was 4.0(]/Cm3.

The unformed electrode plate thus produced was subjected to normal aging and subjected to a vibration shedding test. The results are shown in Table 1. The vibration test conditions were: amplitude 2nv, frequency 2000vpm'
The time was set to 3 minutes.

Electrode plate 1 was a conventional electrode plate using a positive electrode paste to which no germanium oxide was added, and 45% of the active material fell off due to vibration. On the other hand, germanium oxide is 0.1 to 0
.. The electrode plates 3 to 5 according to the present invention containing 5% additive had a shedding amount of 7.
% or less, and there was a tendency that the larger the amount added, the less the amount of falling off.Here, the reason why the amount of germanium oxide added was limited to 0.5% is that if it exceeds this amount, the paste will deteriorate. This is because it hardens quickly and is difficult to fill.

Next, an automobile battery with a nominal capacity of 28 Ah was prepared using these electrode plates, and a life test was conducted according to JISD5301. The results are shown in Table 2.

Battery 1 was a conventional battery using positive electrode paste 1- to which no germanium oxide was added, and its life span was reached after 275 cycles. On the other hand, batteries 2 to 5 according to the present invention to which germanium oxide was added in an amount of 0.05 to 0.5% had a life performance of 305 times or more, and the life performance improved as the amount added increased. Similar effects were also observed when metal germanium powder was used instead of germanium oxide.

- Varying amounts of germanium oxide (Ge02) were added to this paste to fabricate an automobile battery with a nominal capacity of 28Ah (5hR). Table 3 shows the 5hR capacity of the produced battery. Note that the * mark indicates that the paste was too soft to be filled into the grid, and the * mark indicates that the paste was too hard to be filled.

Batteries 6 to 10 were conventional products without the addition of germanium oxide, but if the sulfuric acid m was less than 100 cc per 1 kg of lead powder, the paste was too hard, and if it was more than 200 cc, the paste was too soft to be filled. Additionally, within this range, there is a tendency for the capacity to increase as the amount of sulfuric acid increases, with a maximum of 110
% (nominal capacity ratio, battery 8) was obtained.

The amount of discharged electricity increased to ~300cc/lead powder, and the amount of discharged electricity was 118% at maximum (nominal capacity ratio).

Comparing the 5hR capacity with the same amount of sulfuric acid (No. 7 and 12, No. 8, 13 and 18. No. 14 and 19)
There is no difference in these depending on the amount of germanium oxide added (nominal capacity ratio is 104%, 110% and 114%, respectively).
The difference in capacity mentioned above is thought to be due to the amount of sulfuric acid used in the paste wire element. In this way, by adding germanium oxide to the paste and increasing the amount of sulfuric acid used in the wire element compared to the conventional method, it was possible to increase the initial capacity.

In addition to the effects of the invention, as shown in the examples, adding germanium to the active material as in the present invention (a) improves the mechanical strength of the unformed electrode plate and the life performance of the battery; (b) It has great industrial value, as it enables filling of low-density paste with a large amount of sulfuric acid, increasing strength and discharge capacity.
