By the way, in the conventional nickel-cadmium storage battery, addition of cadmium was indispensable in order to maintain the utilization rate of the nickel positive electrode at high temperature. In the nickel hydride storage battery, which is most characterized by low pollution, there is a problem that cadmium, which is an environmentally destructive substance, cannot be used. As a means for solving this, a method of adding various additives such as a calcium compound has been reported as seen in JP-A-5-290879. However, nickel hydride storage batteries have the following problems, and these conventional additives have not been sufficient for improving battery performance. On the other hand, the hydrogen storage alloy has a problem that the life is shortened because a rare earth element, which is an alloy constituent, is dissolved out in a strong alkali to cause a corrosion phenomenon in which it is deposited as an insulating hydroxide.

Ytterbium and the ytterbium compound are slightly dissolved in a strong alkali and precipitate as a stable hydroxide. Ytterbium hydroxide has the effect of raising the oxygen generation overvoltage, and increases the utilization rate of the nickel positive electrode at high temperatures in order to prevent decomposition of the electrolytic solution. Further, the dissolved ytterbium and the ytterbium compound form a film when deposited as a stable hydroxide on the surface of the hydrogen storage alloy negative electrode, and this prevents corrosion of the alloy components, thereby prolonging the life of the negative electrode.

In FIG. 1, the discharge utilization factor is Ni in the positive electrode mixture.
When the theoretical capacity of (OH) 2 is 290 mAh per gram, the actual discharge capacity is divided by the theoretical capacity and multiplied by 100. As is clear from FIG. 1, the nickel hydride storage battery of the present invention maintains a sufficient capacity even at high temperatures. Further, as is clear from Table 1, the oxygen overvoltage of the present invention is higher than that of the conventional example, which suppresses the decomposition of the electrolytic solution and prevents the battery capacity from decreasing.
