Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase discharge capacity and cycle life by specifying the amount of PbSO4 existing in the positive active material of a clad type positive plate before formation. CONSTITUTION:In a gel type sealed lead-acid battery in which a non-formed clad type plate is used as the positive plate, then formation is conducted within a container, the ratio of PbSO4 in the non-formed positive plate is specified to 20% or less to increase discharge capacity and cycle life. Discharge test was conducted with samples in which the amount of PbSO4 was varied. Batteries B and C containing 5% and 10% PbSO4 in their positive plates before formation showed high performance. Batteries having smaller PbSO4 content in their positive plates before formation showed longer life. This means that less stratification of an electrolyte gives uniform charge-discharge to positive and negative active materials.

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field The present invention uses a clad type positive electrode plate and a paste type negative electrode plate,
This relates to the improvement of so-called gel-clad sealed lead batteries, which use dilute sulfuric acid that has been gelled by adding a few percent of a gelling agent such as colloidal silica or colloidal alumina to the electrolyte, and has particularly excellent discharge capacity and cycle life performance. The purpose is to provide a sealed lead-acid battery.
Conventional open-type liquid-type clad batteries are made by immersing a clad plate, which is a glass tube filled with lead powder, in dilute VA acid for about 1 to 20 hours (soaking treatment), so that the surface is coated with about 3.
0-40% pbso. A group of electrode plates was made using materials that had been kept in a safe condition, and after storing this in a battery case, diluted sulfuric acid was added dropwise and chemical formation was carried out inside the battery case. The soaking process is performed by applying pbso. If a large amount of Pb02 (β-
This is because a large amount of PbO2) is produced and the discharge capacity increases. The so-called gel clad type battery, which uses gelled sulfuric acid as the electrolyte, has a β-pbo. In order to increase this, the positive electrode plate was manufactured using the soaking treatment described above. Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in gel-type sealed batteries, a large amount of P is present in the positive electrode active material.
When bSOa is present, pbso. The sulfuric acid produced when Pb02 is oxidized to Pb02 migrates to the bottom of the battery, causing so-called stratification of the electrolyte. This is because the electrolyte gels as the chemical formation progresses, so the electrolyte stratification cannot be eliminated by the H2, 02 gas generated from the electrode plates as in a liquid type battery. As a result, they had the drawbacks of low discharge capacity and poor cycle life performance. Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a gel-type sealed lead-acid battery in which an unchemically formed clad type electrode plate is used as a positive electrode plate and chemically formed in a battery case, in which a pbso. The above problem is solved by reducing the ratio to 20% or less. Practical Example A gel battery according to the present invention was manufactured and tested. The battery manufacturing process and test results are detailed below. First, a clad positive electrode plate filled with lead oxide powder was immersed in dilute sulfuric acid with a specific gravity of 1.10 (20°C) for 15 seconds, 1 minute, 10 minutes, and 30 minutes, respectively. Prepare electrode plates that will not be immersed in dilute sulfuric acid. pbso. in these plates. Analyzing the amount, it is about 5 and 1, respectively.
They were 0, 15, 20, and 0%. Using these clad-type positive electrode plates, a plate group consisting of four positive plates and five paste-type negative plates was prepared, and this was inserted into a battery case. Next, after injecting a predetermined amount of a premixed solution of colloidal silica, which is a gelling agent, and dilute sulfuric acid, 0.2C
Chemical formation was performed by applying a current of A (C: nominal capacity jt). The concentration of the injected dilute sulfuric acid is PBSO. The specific gravity after chemical formation was determined to be 1.30 (at 20°C). After chemical formation, a safety valve, etc. was installed, and the temperature of about 120 hours (
5HR)) capacity battery, i.e. unformed positive plate pb
so. Batteries A, B, C, D, and E with different i were manufactured. For comparison, we also fabricated a conventional gel-clad battery F using an unformed positive electrode plate with a PbSO4 content of 40% by immersing the clad plate in dilute sulfuric acid for 10 hours.
After chemical formation, the 5HR discharge capacity of these batteries was investigated, and the results are shown in Figure 1. The discharge capacities of the batteries A to E according to the present invention are all higher than that of the conventional battery F, especially the pbso. Batteries B and C with a content of 5% and 10% were the best. In order to clarify the reason for this, we installed sensors that can measure the specific gravity of the electrolyte at the top and bottom of the battery. Figure 2 shows the results of examining the changes in electrolyte specific gravity during formation of the battery of the present invention C and conventional battery F using this, and Figure 3 shows the specific gravity of the electrolyte at the end of the formation of the battery of the invention. It is shown in
In addition, FIG. 4 shows the results of examining the amount of β-pbo2 in the positive electrode active material after chemical formation by an X@ diffraction test.

In conventional battery F, there is a difference in the specific gravity of the electrolyte between the upper part of the battery (F-upper) and the lower part (F-lower) from the beginning of formation, and even as formation progresses further, this difference in specific gravity does not disappear and instead widens. There was a tendency. On the other hand, in the battery C of the present invention, there was no difference in the specific gravity of the electrolyte between the upper part (C1 upper) and the lower part (C1 lower) from the early stage of chemical formation, and even when chemical formation progressed, the specific gravity difference did not increase much. This is thought to be because the amount of pbSO in the positive electrode terminal plate of the battery of the present invention was smaller than that of conventional battery F, so the amount of I2SOA discharged from the positive electrode plate to the outside of the electrode plate was small. In the batteries of the present invention other than C, the stratification of the electrolyte at the end of chemical formation was considerably less than in conventional battery F, which is probably why the initial performance was much better than that of conventional batteries. Comparing Batteries A to E of the present invention, pbsa. As the amount decreased, the stratification of the electrolytic solution after chemical formation decreased, but the amount of β-Pb02 after chemical formation also decreased. Among the batteries of the present invention, pbso. The reason why batteries B and C with a concentration of 5% or 10% had the best capacity is probably due to less stratification of the electrolyte and a higher amount of β-pbo2. Next, these batteries were subjected to a charge/discharge cycle test at a discharge depth of 75%. The capacity transition during the cycle at this time is shown in the fifth column.
It is shown in the figure. All of the batteries of the present invention have significantly superior life performance than conventional battery F, and in particular, the p
bso. Batteries with lower capacity had better life performance.
This seems to be because the less stratified the electrolyte is, the more uniformly the positive and negative electrode active materials can be charged and discharged. Effects of the Invention As mentioned above, the gel-clad sealed lead-acid battery according to the present invention has significantly superior discharge capacity and cycle life performance compared to conventional gel-clad sealed lead-acid batteries, and its industrial value is extremely high. big.
