Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve utilization of an active material and thereby assure higher performance as well as improve productivity by mixing nickel hydroxide powder and bivalent cobalt hydroxide powder. CONSTITUTION:An aqueous cobalt solution is neutralized with an alkali solution to precipitate cobalt hydroxide. Washed and dried the precipitate in a vacuum, bivalent cobalt hydroxide is yieldded. 10% of powder of the resultant cobalt hydroxide and 90% of nickel hydroxide powder are ground and mixed, to which water containing a small quantity of carboxy methyl cellulose dissolved therein is then added to yield a pasty substance. A prescribed substrate is filled with said paste, and dried and adjusted in thickness thereof to yield a positive electrode plate. Hereby, utilization of an active material as well as higher performance and productivity can be increased.

Prior art and its problems Nickel positive electrodes for alkaline storage batteries are classified into two types. One of them is called the sinter type. 2~6μ fine nickel powder brown perforated tone plate or
A microporous sintered substrate of 10-odd microns sintered into a nickel net or the like is impregnated with a nickel nitrate solution. A so-called solution impregnation method is then used to fill the active material by changing it into nickel hydroxide in an alkaline solution.

The other is a paste type in which the nickel hydroxide active material itself is made into a paste with water etc., and this is directly filled into a nickel fiber sintered body consisting of pores of several tens to hundreds of microns. It is a button type that is used by adding a small amount of the mixture to nickel oxide powder and pressing it into a pellet shape. Another type of pocket type is a pocket type in which a perforated steel plate is processed to form a socket and Niacel hydroxide powder is filled into the socket.

The latter, which is directly filled with nickel hydroxide solid powder, is
Unlike the solution impregnation method, it does not use a microporous sintered body, so it has poor current collecting properties, and the active material utilization rate is only about 50 to 60%, which is lower than the 90% active material utilization rate of a complete sinter set. It was inferior to Ohin in terms of performance. In order to improve this, a mixture of fine particles such as nickel hydroxide powder and carbonyl nickel powder is used. However, even in this case, about 10%
It only improves performance to a certain degree. The reason why the nickel powder mixed in the positive electrode does not work effectively is that nickel hydroxide with poor conductivity is formed on the surface of the nickel powder at the fourth stage of charging and discharging the positive electrode.

A divalent cobalt hydroxide coated with a divalent cobalt hydroxide was obtained. Since this divalent cobalt hydroxide was corrugated with hexavalent cobalt hydroxide, it existed stably in the air for a long period of time. After pulverizing and mixing 10% of this powder and 90% of nickel hydroxide powder, water in which a small amount of carboxymethyl hexarurose was dissolved was added to make a paste.The paste was made into a paste using nickel fibers with a fiber diameter of about 25μ by the airlaid method. After distributing the mixture, it was filled into a substrate having a thickness of 2 mm and a porosity of 95%, which was sintered under a reducing atmosphere. Then dry, adjust the thickness and

A nickel-cadmium storage battery was prepared using two cadmium negative electrodes and a potassium hydroxide electrolyte with a ratio of ff 11.20. Then, this was charged and discharged to measure the active material utilization rate of the positive electrode plate. For comparison, a positive electrode plate having the same dimensions and a mixed composition of 10% nickel powder and 90% nickel hydroxide powder was also measured.

As is clear from the figure, the one to which divalent cobalt hydroxide was added showed a utilization rate of about 90%, showing almost the same high performance as the conventional sinter set. As other cobalt compounds, attempts were made to add hexavalent Co203 and C0(OH)3, but no effect was observed. Why 2 1illi cobalt hydroxide CO(OH) is generally considered unstable
Although it is not clear whether only 2 is effective, it is probably < Ci
This is thought to be because o (OH) 2 is used as a starting material and changes into a cobalt compound with excellent conductivity during charging and discharging.
