Generally, a small amount of cadmium is added in a solid solution state to nickel hydroxide, which is the main active material, by adding cadmium nitrate to the nickel nitrate impregnating solution. This is because a sintered nickel electrode filled only with nickel hydroxide causes large electrode swelling (increased electrode thickness) when charged and discharged, but when a small amount of cadmium is contained in a solid solution state, This is because electrode swelling is suppressed. Electrode swelling causes a short circuit and shortens the life of the battery, so addition of a solid solution of cadmium is indispensable as a means for suppressing it.

However, with the recent close-up of environmental problems, the inclusion of cadmium, which is a harmful metal, is regarded as a problem. In particular, in nickel metal hydride batteries and nickel zinc batteries, it is of utmost importance not to contain cadmium, and development of new additive elements in place of cadmium is desired.

On the other hand, with the miniaturization and weight reduction of portable electronic equipment, higher energy density is required for the battery which is the power source thereof. However, it is known that the upper limit of the utilization rate of the active material of the sintered nickel electrode is as low as about 80%, which is a problem in increasing the capacity of the battery. Further, the ambient atmosphere of the battery used in these devices often becomes high temperature, and development of a battery excellent in high temperature performance is desired.

The present inventors have found that the inclusion of zinc, magnesium or barium described above in nickel hydroxide in a solid solution state has the effect of suppressing electrode swelling, similar to cadmium. It was found that the suppressing effect increases in proportion to the contents of those elements and is effective in the range of 2% by weight or more. In addition, since the addition of these elements has the effect of shifting the oxygen generation potential of the nickel electrode to noble, and the addition of cobalt has the effect of shifting the oxidation potential to the base, the oxygen overvoltage (oxygen generation potential and oxidation potential of the nickel electrode). Potential difference) increases, and the electrode has excellent charging efficiency at high temperatures.

It has also been found that α-Co (OH) 2 mixed with the nickel hydroxide particles in a free state has an effect of improving the utilization rate of the active material. When the electrode is dipped in an alkaline electrolyte, α-Co (OH) 2 changes to active β-Co (OH) 2 and quickly dissolves to form HCo.
O 2 - after the formation of the complex ion, is dispersed evenly throughout and reprecipitated electrode as Co (OH) 2. That is, α-Co
(OH) 2 is stable in air and changes to β-Co (OH) 2 which is active only when contacted with an alkaline aqueous solution. On the other hand, β-Co (OH) 2 is unstable in air and forms CoOH 2 which is difficult to dissolve on the surface, which hinders its rapid dissolution. Thus, α-Co (OH) 2 is active β-Co (OH) 2.
Since Co (OH) 2 is produced only when it comes into contact with the electrolytic solution, it has become possible to avoid the formation of a CoHO 2 film, which has been a problem when using β-Co (OH) 2 so far. .. In this way, β distributed uniformly over the electrode
-Co (OH) 2 is conductive CoOOH after the first charge.
It is considered that the utilization rate of the active material was improved by connecting the nickel hydroxide particles with each other by conductive CoOOH.

Compared with o (OH) 2 , the dissolution rate is slow and the dispersibility is non-uniform for the reasons described above, and therefore the effect of improving the utilization rate of the active material is small.
