【発明の詳細な説明】 本発明は陽極が電導材を含有しない二酸化マンガンと酸
化銀とから構成されたボタン型酸化銀電池の改良に関す

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in a button-type silver oxide battery in which the anode is composed of manganese dioxide and silver oxide containing no conductive material.

従来ボタン型酸化銀電池の陽極は酸化銀Ag2Oを主体
とし、二酸化マンガン含有量が酸化銀に対し10重量%
以下として、黒鉛等の導電性物質を含有させるのが一昔
通であった。
The anode of conventional button-type silver oxide batteries is mainly made of silver oxide, Ag2O, and the manganese dioxide content is 10% by weight based on silver oxide.
For a while, it was customary to include a conductive substance such as graphite.

これは二酸化マンガンの利用率が酸化銀に比べ極端に悪
く、含有率を10重量%以上にすると容量の低下が著し
い欠点があった。
This has the drawback that the utilization rate of manganese dioxide is extremely poor compared to that of silver oxide, and when the content is increased to 10% by weight or more, the capacity decreases significantly.

For this reason, the co-conductivity of silver oxide and manganese dioxide is extremely poor, so to obtain a normal capacity, conductive substances such as graphite or silver powder must be contained in the anode active material in an amount of 5 to 20% by weight. However, the contribution of manganese dioxide to the discharge is low and the capacity inevitably decreases.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks, and after studying the above-mentioned discharge mechanism, it was found that the discharge reaction starts from the anode surface in contact with the separator, and once the reaction starts, the reaction continues internally even if the anode has poor conductivity. It turned out that it was progressing to
Based on these facts, a porous conductive layer is previously installed between the anode and the separator to allow the discharge reaction of the anode to proceed rapidly, and will be explained in detail in Examples below.

FIG. 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view of a button-type silver oxide battery showing one embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 contains 20 parts of manganese dioxide to 80 parts of silver oxide powder and has a battery that also serves as an anode terminal at a pressure of about 3 t/c4. 3 is a porous conductive layer; 4 is a separator made of a translucent membrane such as Cero-N and a liquid-retentive material such as nylon nonwoven fabric; 5 1 is a zinc cathode made by adding a potassium solution to zinc chloride and carboxymethyl cellulose to form a paste; 6 is a cap containing the zinc cathode and also serves as a cathode terminal; T is interposed between the battery case 2 and the cap 6 This gasket has the function of insulating and airtightly sealing the opening.

The electrolytic solution is permeated or retained in the fine pores of the zinc cathode 5, the anode 1, the conductive layer 3, and the separator 4 or the contact surfaces between the layers, and usually a 35-46% caustic potassium solution is used.

As shown in FIG. 2, the porous conductive layer 3 is made of a conductive material such as silver and processed into a net (a), an expanded metal (b), or a perforated plate (C).

Immediately after the start of discharge in the button-type silver oxide battery constructed as described above, since the porous conductive layer 3 is disposed between the anode 1 and the separator 4, electrons move from the battery container 2 through the conductive layer 3 and reach the anode. The anode 1 flows from the contact surface with the conductive layer 3 and reacts on the entire surface of the anode 1 in contact with the conductive layer 3 from the initial stage, improving the utilization rate of the active material.

Furthermore, since the anode 1 does not contain a conductive material such as graphite, the discharge capacity increases significantly.

As a result, as the content of manganese dioxide increases, the capacity tends to gradually decrease, but the rate of decrease is gradual until the content reaches 50% by weight, and it is very much compared to conventional products. It turns out that it is excellent.

In terms of price, manganese dioxide is very cheap compared to silver oxide, so it is better to contain more to reduce costs, but if you want to increase the capacity depending on the equipment used, Since it is good to increase the amount of silver oxide, if the amount of manganese dioxide is set to 10% by weight, the difference in capacity will not be so great compared to that of a battery using an anode made only of silver oxide, which will reduce the cost of the anode active material and increase the capacity. From this point of view, it is optimal that the amount of manganese dioxide is in the range of 10 to 15% by weight of the anode.

However, even if manganese dioxide is reduced by discharge, metal oxides such as silver oxide will not be reduced to silver and changed into conductive substances, so even if the amount of reducing substances increases, continuous conduction by silver will occur. Since no layer is formed, it is difficult for the anode to come into contact with the anode can even as the discharge progresses, the conductivity is maintained by the conductive layer, and the contribution rate of manganese dioxide to the discharge increases.

Conventionally, a technique has been developed in which a conductive porous thin plate that provides mechanical strength to prevent volume expansion of the anode and a metal seat plate that presses it from above are provided, but the present invention does not require the provision of mechanical strength. In order to prevent capacity reduction due to the placement of the conductive layer, it is sufficient to provide the conductive layer as thin as possible to provide a conductive effect.

In addition, it has been proposed to use a porous conductive layer in batteries that use silver peroxide for the anode, but this is to prevent the oxidation of the separator by silver peroxide, and the purpose and effect of this are completely different from the present invention. It makes a difference.

As described above, the present invention does not contain a conductive material such as graphite in the anode, but includes an anode containing silver oxide and manganese dioxide in an amount of 10 to 50% by weight, and a porous conductive material between the anode and the separator. By arranging the layers, discharge of manganese dioxide is also performed, increasing the discharge capacity and reducing costs by mixing manganese dioxide, which has great industrial value.
