Based on above-mentioned discovery, the present invention is accomplished.
According to the present invention, the electrolytic manganese dioxide of fine particle form is provided, it is characterized in that having surperficial sulfate radical (SO less than 0.10 weight % 4) content and according to JIS K1467 measure be at least 1.5 but less than 3.5, preferably be at least 2.1 but less than 3.2 JIS-pH value.
Description of drawings
Fig. 1 has shown the schematic sectional view of the device that is used for electrolytic manganese dioxide corrosion of metals test; And
Fig. 2 has shown the curve chart that shows sodium content (ppm) relation in fine particle median particle diameter (μ m) and the electrolytic manganese dioxide.
Embodiment
Sulfate radical (the SO that electrolytic manganese dioxide is contained 4) amount be divided into (1) surperficial sulfate radical content, just be present in amount and (2) inner sulfate radical content of the sulfate radical of electrolytic manganese dioxide particle surface, just be present in the amount of the sulfate radical of electrolytic manganese dioxide granule interior.When for example comprising the electrolyte manufacturing electrolytic manganese dioxide of manganese sulfate and sulfuric acid through electrolytic deposition, the employed sulfuric acid of part enters into the electrolytic manganese dioxide inside of deposition.Be present in the form of the inner sulfuric acid of electrolytic manganese dioxide and unclear, even but electrolytic manganese dioxide wash fully or neutralized, still have the part electrolytic manganese dioxide to keep and from electrolytic manganese dioxide, do not remove.This part electrolytic manganese dioxide constitutes inner sulfate radical composition.
Term as used herein " surperficial sulfate radical content " is meant the content that deducts the sulfate radical of inner sulfate radical content calculating with total sulfate radical content.The content of inner sulfate radical is confirmed by following method: will deposit gained manganese dioxide water and clean fully that no longer to change the JIS-pH value that perhaps neutralizes up to JIS-pH value be 4.5, the amount of the sulfate radical that is retained in definite then manganese dioxide that cleaned or neutralized.Total sulfate radical content is the amount of contained sulfate radical in the determined deposition manganese dioxide before washing or the neutralization.The confirming of inner sulfate radical content and total sulfate radical content carries out through atomic absorption spectroscopy or ICP (atomic emission spectrum chemical analysis).
Inner sulfate radical content changes according to the ad hoc approach difference of making electrolytic manganese dioxide, but is generally about 0.90 weight % to about 1.25 weight %.
Electrolytic manganese dioxide among the present invention is characterized in that surperficial sulfate radical (SO 4) content is less than 0.10 weight %, and according to the JIS-pH value that JIS K1467 records be at least 1.5 but less than 3.5, preferably be at least 2.1 but less than 3.2.
Be at least 3.5 JIS-pH value if electrolytic manganese dioxide has, its high rate discharge performance is compared and can't be strengthened with conventional electrolysis manganese dioxide.On the contrary, if electrolytic manganese dioxide has the JIS-pH value less than 1.5, its high rate discharge performance is fine usually, still, because too high acidity makes the durability of battery be easy to variation, and causes the device of manufacturing cathode material and the etching problem of battery case.
JIS-pH value among this paper confirms through the method for the measurement degree of neutralization of routine, just according to the ammonium chloride method of JIS K1467, wherein the manganese dioxide of scheduled volume (10.0g) joined (50ml, 20g NH in the chloride buffer solution of scheduled volume 4Cl/100ml H 2O), in the pH of 25 ± 2 ℃ of definite supernatants value.
The electrolytic manganese dioxide or the JIS-pH value that neutralizes in a usual manner that can use a large amount of water to clean manufacturing are 3.5 or higher; Thus surperficial sulfate radical content is reduced to below the 0.10 weight %, but different among the electrolytic manganese dioxide that so obtains and the present invention.Electrolytic manganese dioxide among the present invention must have the JIS-pH value that is reduced to below 3.5, and is reduced to the surperficial sulphur root salt content below the 0.10 weight %.
Electrolytic manganese dioxide among the present invention exists with the fine particle form usually.Fine grain particle diameter is not specially limited, but the electrolytic manganese dioxide fine particle of preferred 3% to 25% quantity has the particle diameter that is not more than 1 μ m, to strengthen the high rate discharge performance biglyyer.
If the particle diameter that thin electrolytic manganese dioxide particle comprises is not more than the quantity of particle of 1 μ m less than 3%, the powder molding spare that makes through the thin electrolytic manganese dioxide particle of pressure forming is highly brittle and is broken easily.On the contrary; If the particle diameter that thin electrolytic manganese dioxide particle comprises is not more than the amount of particle of 1 μ m greater than 25% of quantity; When adding carbon when improving conductivity, can make the minimizing that contacts of electrolytic manganese dioxide and carbon, and the utilance step-down of electrolytic manganese dioxide in the battery.
The maximum gauge of thin electrolytic manganese dioxide particle is not specially limited, but preferably is not more than 100 μ m.If parts of fine electrolytic manganese dioxide particle has the particle diameter greater than 100 μ m, the dry cell inner surface of container is easy to damage, thereby the metal that inner surface of container plated is easy to damage and the iron that exposes is easy to react and produce gas.And, the slider generation chemical damage between anode of processing by for example zinc and the negative electrode processed by electrolytic manganese dioxide powder molding spare that is used to insulate, thus begin directly to contact as the Powdered electrolytic manganese dioxide of active material of cathode with zinc anode.Thereby the self discharge that occurs takes place not hope in battery electric power storage process, cause capacity to reduce.
Thin electrolytic manganese dioxide particle preferably has the median particle diameter in 15 μ m and 70 mu m ranges.If median particle diameter is greater than 70 μ m, the total surface area of this thin electrolytic manganese dioxide particle can desirably not reduce, thereby weakens cell reaction.On the contrary, if median particle diameter is lower than 15 μ m, the fine grain amount that is filled in the battery case reduces to a great extent.
Confirm that through following optical scatter counting method particle diameter is not more than the fine grain amount of 1 μ m, fine grain maximum particle diameter and fine grain median particle diameter.
Wherein be dispersed with the liquid of thin electrolytic manganese dioxide particle with laser beam irradiation, use can be purchased the Co. in Nikkiso, and the optical scatter counting device of Ltd. " Micro-trac particle size distribution measurement mechanism " is measured scattered light to confirm particle diameter and amounts of particles.
Contained sodium comprises the sodium compound of sodium ion and for example NaOH in the thin electrolytic manganese dioxide particle of the present invention.
Sodium contained in the thin electrolytic manganese dioxide particle is from the NaOH nertralizer that is used to regulate fine particle pH value.Most of sodium is adsorbed on the particle surface.The discharge battery reaction is that proton is from the reaction of particle surface to the granule interior diffusion.If it is too high to be present in the amount of sodium of particle surface, the diffusion of protons reaction is suppressed, and causes the high rate discharge performance to weaken.On the contrary, if be present in particle surface sodium amount very little, can obtain good relatively discharge performance usually, but when dry cell is processed by this electrolytic manganese dioxide, owing to the minimizing of sodium content causes other Corrosion of Metallic Materials.
Sodium content X (ppm) in this electrolytic manganese dioxide and fine particle median particle diameter Y (μ m) preferably have the relation that satisfies following formula (1):
-0.016X+56.8≤Y≤-0.04X+134 (1)
When electrolytic manganese dioxide satisfied above-mentioned formula (1), resulting battery demonstrated improved high rate discharge performance, and in the manufacturing step of being processed negative electrode by this manganese dioxide, can not cause the corrosion of metals problem.
In addition, the sodium content X (ppm) in the electrolytic manganese dioxide preferably has the relation that satisfies following formula (2) with fine particle median particle diameter Y (μ m):
-0.016X+56.8≤Y≤-0.016X+71.2 (2)
When electrolytic manganese dioxide satisfied above-mentioned formula (2), resulting battery demonstrated more improved high rate discharge performance, and in the manufacturing step of being processed negative electrode by this manganese dioxide, can not cause the corrosion of metals problem.When the battery of the AA specification with negative electrode of being processed by this active material stood the discharge test of 1A pulse under the cut-ff voltage of the time of repose of 10 seconds discharge time, 50 seconds and 0.9V, resulting battery demonstrated at least 425 times discharge time.
Electrolytic manganese dioxide is through the reason that satisfies above-mentioned formula (1) and/or (2) and obtain improved high rate discharge performance and good metal resistance to corrosion and unclear.But, think that the content of the sodium that the electrolytic manganese dioxide particle surface is adsorbed and the intergranular pore-size that changes according to specific median particle diameter influence particle surface hydrophily and water retention property thereof.Therefore between electrolytic manganese dioxide, electrolyte and metal material, do not form solid-liquid-liquid/solid interface, stop thus or reduced corrosion of metal as far as possible.
The content of the sodium in the thin electrolytic manganese dioxide particle is confirmed through following method: thin electrolytic manganese dioxide particle is dissolved in the aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid and hydrogen peroxide, measures sodium content through atomic absorption spectroscopy then.
When sodium content in the electrolytic manganese dioxide and fine grain median particle diameter satisfy above-mentioned formula (1) and/or (2), can obtain improved high rate discharge performance and good metal resistance to corrosion, still, sodium content especially preferably is not more than 2000ppm.
The active material that is used for cell cathode of the present invention comprises above-mentioned electrolytic manganese dioxide.
Active material of cathode can contain other composition, this is not had special restriction.Other composition comprises, for example, and such as the electric conducting material and the potassium hydroxide aqueous solution of graphite.
Active material of cathode of the present invention makes battery have improved high rate discharge performance and good metal resistance to corrosion.When this active material of cathode is used to make the battery of AA specification; When resulting battery stands the discharge test of 1A pulse under the cut-ff voltage of the time of repose of 10 seconds discharge time, 50 seconds and 0.9V; Resulting battery demonstrates at least 400 times discharge time, preferably at least 425 times.
