Description

Enclosed alkali storage battery
The application is dividing an application of No. 98802118.8 patent of invention submitting on January 12nd, 1998.
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of enclosed alkali storage battery, it comprises an active positive electrode material and a negative electrode active material, and they are contained in the battery case together, accounts for more than 75% of volume of battery case.More specifically say, the present invention relates to the improvement to a kind of active positive electrode material, so that a kind of enclosed alkali storage battery very reliably is provided, through charge-discharge cycles over a long time, electrolyte also is difficult to leak from storage battery.
Background technology
Proposed already, and in the enclosed alkali storage battery of Zn, adopted manganese dioxide as active positive electrode material (Japan special permission communique No 45-3570) as negative electrode active material.In addition, also propose, in the alkaline primary cell of Zn as negative electrode active material, the mixture that adopts nickel oxide and manganese dioxide is as active positive electrode material (day disclosure special permission communique No.49-114741).
Yet in charging-exoelectrical reaction, the invertibity of manganese dioxide is poor, recharges after the discharge to be difficult to make manganese dioxide to restore to the original state.Through the charge-discharge cycles of repeated multiple times, the effect of this active material reduces rapidly, thereby causes making the electric charge releasability to descend apace.In addition, the oxygen evolution ability of manganese dioxide is very low, so that between charge period,, increased the pressure in the battery because oxygen is emitted in the water decomposition on the positive electrode, the result, the connecting portion of battery case is bonding to be worse off, and electrolyte is leaked easily.
On the other hand, similar with the battery that adopts manganese dioxide, when using the mixture of nickel oxide and manganese dioxide in the storage battery that charges repeatedly and discharge (secondary cell), its oxygen evolution ability is too low, thereby battery in pressure raise easily, electrolyte is easily leaked.In addition, in charging-exoelectrical reaction, the invertibity of the manganese dioxide in the mixture is poor, thereby the charge-discharge cycles of process repeated multiple times, and the effect of this active material sharply reduces, and the result makes the electric charge releasability descend fast.
Above the weak point of two kinds of active positive electrode materials too many, can not be as the active positive electrode material of enclosed alkali storage battery.In the enclosed alkali storage battery that comprises a large amount of active materials, pressure rising during charging in the battery and the electrolyte leakage that produces therefrom are particularly evident.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, one of purpose of the present invention provides a kind of enclosed alkali storage battery that comprises a large amount of active materials with high reliability, does not almost have the anxiety of electrolyte leakage simultaneously when carrying out charge-discharge cycles for a long time again.
Another object of the present invention provides a kind of like this enclosed alkali storage battery, and it not only in the initial stage of charge-discharge cycles but also when using for a long time, can both make active material keep good serviceability.
Enclosed alkali storage battery (second battery) according to second invention comprising: active positive electrode material NiOOH; By the negative electrode that negative electrode active material constitutes, it is a zinc electrode, cadmium electrode or hydrogenation hydrogen-absorbing alloy electrode, and active positive electrode material and negative electrode active material are contained in the battery case together, account for more than 75% of battery case volume.Have at least a rare earth element and/or at least a rare earth compound among the NiOOH as additive, the ratio of itself and NiOOH is 0.05 to 5 weight %.
Second invention is applicable to such as a kind of like this enclosed alkali battery that it adopts zinc, cadmium or hydrogenation hydrogen adsorbing alloy as negative electrode active material, needn't charge before using.
In addition, the enclosed alkali storage battery (the 3rd battery) according to the 3rd invention comprising: the active positive electrode material that NiOOH forms; By the negative electrode that negative electrode active material constitutes, it is zinc electrode, cadmium electrode or hydrogenation hydrogen-absorbing alloy electrode, and active positive electrode material and negative electrode active material are contained in the container together, account for more than 75% of battery volume.At least scribble a rare earth element and/or rare earth compound coating on the NiOOH particle surface, the ratio of itself and NiOOH is 0.05 to 5 weight %.
Second and the 3rd invention is applicable to a kind of like this enclosed alkali storage battery, and it comprises and account for the active material of battery case volume more than 75%, and active material all is contained in the battery case, and reason is as follows.Particularly be equipped with in battery case in the enclosed alkali battery of a large amount of active materials, in charge-discharge cycles repeatedly, the pressure in the battery increases easily, and electrolyte leaks easily.According to second and the 3rd invention, by the active positive electrode material that use has higher oxygen superpressure, the pressure that can suppress significantly in the battery raises.
In second battery, have at least a rare earth element and/or at least a rare earth compound among the NiOOH as additive, the ratio of rare earth element and NiOOH is 0.05 to 5 weight %.In the 3rd battery, scribble a rare earth element and/or rare earth compound coating on the NiOOH particle surface at least, the ratio of rare earth element and NiOOH is 0.05 to 5 weight %.When the ratiometer of pressing rare earth element and NiOOH as the quantity of the contained rare earth element of additive or coating and/or rare earth compound during less than 0.05 weight %, the oxygen superpressure of positive electrode can fully not increase, thereby the oxygen that can not suppress fully in the charging process discharges.On the other hand, when the content of additive or coating surpassed 5 weight %, the quantity as the NiOOH of active material of being packed into reduced, thereby has reduced discharge capability.
Described rare earth element is the generality term of following 17 kinds of elements: Sc, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu.Rare earth compound is such as oxide being arranged, hydroxide, chloride and carbide.For increasing the oxidation superpressure of positive electrode, preferably adopt Y, Eu and Yb adopt Y compound, Er compound and Yb compound as rare earth compound as rare earth element.
When charging fully, be preferably 3.0 to 3.8 as the valence mumber of Ni among the NiOOH of active positive electrode material.If wherein the valence mumber of Ni is less than 3.0, then be difficult to the discharge capability that reaches sufficient.The valence mumber of Ni can not surpass 3.8 among the NiOOH.Charging continuously again after even battery charges fully, oxygen can only produce by the decomposition of water, and the valence mumber of Ni will never surpass 3.8.
For example, the oxidant that utilizes NaClO and so on can obtain NiOOH with the nickel hydroxide oxidation.
Have a kind of solid solution element among the NiOOH at least, be selected from Mn, Zn, Co, Bi and many rare earth elements.When use comprises above-mentioned any element as the NiOOH of solid solution element, can further increase the oxygen superpressure of positive electrode.The ratio of the solid solution element of NiOOH is preferably 5-50%, is defined by following formula:
The ratio of solid solution element (%)={ X/ (X+N) } * 100
Wherein X represents solid solution atoms of elements number contained among the NiOOH, and N represents the atomicity of Ni contained among the NiOOH.
If the ratio of solid solution element is too little, then can not increase the oxygen superpressure of positive electrode effectively.If the ratio of solid solution element is too big, the quantity that then is contained in to the hydroxide oxygen nickel in the constant volume reduces, and causes discharge capability to descend.
The coating that is formed on the 3rd battery for example can obtain like this: nickel hydroxide powder is added in the salting liquid of rare earth element, add sodium hydroxide solution and stir the pH value of regulating the solution that forms, solution was stirred 30 to 60 minutes, thereby utilize chemical method that rare earth element is separated out and on the particle surface of nickel hydroxide, form hydride.By changing concentration or its ratio of rare earth metal salt solutions, can regulate the thickness of coating with respect to the nickel hydroxide of powdered form.This coating can also be utilized the dry mixed mechanical loading method of powdered form hydroxide nickel and rare earth element and/or rare earth compound is formed.For example, in the non-oxide atmosphere inert gas is arranged, hydrogen, nitrogen and vacuum.The oxidation of hydroxide nickel can also be carried out after coating forms preceding or forms.
The rare earth element and/or the rare earth compound that comprise predetermined quantity in the positive electrode of the second or the 3rd battery, formation has higher oxygen superpressure.Therefore, the pressure in charging process in the battery does not have anything to increase, and through long-time charge-discharge cycles, electrolyte also is difficult to leak.
In addition, enclosed alkali storage battery (the 4th battery) according to the 4th invention comprising: the active positive electrode material that NiOOH forms, the negative electrode that constitutes by negative electrode active material, it is a zinc electrode, cadmium electrode or hydrogenation hydrogen-absorbing alloy electrode, active positive electrode material and negative electrode active material are contained in the container together, account for more than 75% of battery case volume.In the X-ray diffraction pattern, the half-breadth of NiOOH spike in crystal face (003) is more than 0.8 °.
The 4th invention is applicable to a kind of like this enclosed alkali storage battery, it comprises and accounts for the active material of battery case volume more than 75%, active material all is contained in the battery case, this is because be equipped with in its battery case in the enclosed alkali storage battery of a large amount of active materials, because the increase of the cell internal pressure that the reduction of the effectiveness of active material produces is an especially severe.
The degree of crystallinity of NiOOH is poor more, and the crystal face in the X-ray diffraction pattern (003) tip half-breadth is big more, and the tip is wide more.In the present invention, be the effect of enhanced activity material, active positive electrode material adopts such NiOOH, and its degree of crystallinity is relatively poor, and the half-breadth of the spike in crystal face (003) of X-ray diffraction pattern is more than 0.8 °.Herein, the half-breadth of spike refers to from the width of the tip of half eminence of baseline spike.
By discharge, NiOOH is become nickel hydroxide (Ni (OH) 2), by charging, with the Ni (OH) of discharge back generation 2Become NiOOH.When discharge, the proton (H that discharges among the NiOOH +) enter in the electrolyte, and in charging process by Ni (OH) 2Absorb.Therefore, in order to make full use of NiOOH in charging-exoelectrical reaction, proton should be easy to move in NiOOH.It is relatively poor that proton can be easy to the degree of crystallinity of the NiOOH that moves therein.This be because, in NiOOH of the present invention, degree of crystallinity is relatively poor, it has half width in the crystal face (003) of the X-ray diffraction pattern more than 0.8 °.
For example, utilize the oxidant of NaClO and so on Ni (OH) 2Thereby oxidation obtains NiOOH.For example, by alkaline solution (as sodium hydroxide solution) and nickel salt solution (as nickel sulfate solution) are mixed the Ni (OH) that obtains precipitated form 2Make Ni (OH) by adjusting 2The pH value of the mixed liquor of precipitation can be adjusted Ni (OH) 2Degree of crystallinity.The pH value of mixed solution is low more, then formed Ni (OH) 2Degree of crystallinity poor more.Correspondingly, by with Ni (OH) 2The degree of crystallinity of the NiOOH that oxidation obtained is also relatively poor.
NiOOH can comprise and is selected from Bi, Cd, and Co, Mg, Mn, at least a element among Y and the Zn is as the solid solution element.If comprising, NiOOH then can suppress any in the above-mentioned element NiOOH and expand as the solid solution element.The ratio of solid solution element preferably 5 to 50% among the NiOOH.
If the ratio of solid solution element is too low, then can not suppresses NiOOH effectively and expand.If this ratio is too big, then the amount of the NiOOH that can pack into descends, the guiding discharge ability drop.
Because the active positive electrode material of the 4th battery uses NiOOH, its degree of crystallinity is poor, and during charging and discharging, proton is easy to move, and therefore the effectiveness of active material can keep well in charge-discharge cycles over a long time.And because the effectiveness of active material can keep the long time well, the pressure between charge period in the battery seldom increases, thereby after the charge-discharge cycles, electrolyte also is difficult to leak for a long time.

(experiment 3)
In this experiment, to the first time circulation time Mn ratio and the ratio of relation between the discharge capability and Mn study with the relation between the leakage.
[ratio of circulation time Mn and the relation between the discharge capability for the first time]
Prepare NiOOH according to the mode identical with first embodiment, the ratio of the solid solution element M n that it comprises is respectively 0%, 2%, 5%, 10%, 40%, 50%, 55% and 60%, different is, for obtaining to comprise the nickel hydroxide of solid solution element M n, changed the mixing ratio between nickel sulfate solution and the manganese sulfate solution.As a result, utilize the NiOOH that comprises solid solution element M n, produce enclosed alkali storage battery E respectively, F, G, H, I, J, K and L as active positive electrode material.For obtaining the discharge capability of the 1st circulation time, make above-mentioned each battery under the load of 3.9 Ω, be discharged to 0.9V.The results are shown in Fig. 2.Figure 2 illustrates the 1st discharge capability (ratio of its Mn is 20%) of enclosed alkali battery a.Fig. 2 is as the ratio of the Mn of the NiOOH of solid solution element and the curve of the 1st circulation time discharge capability with Mn, wherein ordinate is represented the discharge capability of the 1st circulation, abscissa is represented the ratio of Mn, and wherein resulting this index of discharge capability by the 1st time represented circulation time of ordinate is that the discharge capability with hypothesis enclosed alkali storage battery a is 100 to do the basis.

[relation between the ratio of Mn and the leakage]
With experiment 1 identical condition under, the enclosed alkali storage battery E that initial discharge capacity is very sufficient, F, G, H, I and J carry out the charge-discharge cycles test, thereby draw at 5 times, 10 times, the number of the battery of 25 times and 50 times circulation time generation leakages the results are shown in table 3.The result of enclosed alkali storage battery a is identical with table 1 in the table 3.
Table 3
Figure G2007101698909D00101
As can be understood from Table 3, by add solid solution element M n in NiOOH, electrolyte is more difficult to be leaked.For the ratio of Mn is 5% enclosed alkali storage battery B, and the number of battery cells that 50 circulation times take place to leak is 0, and is 2% storage battery F for the ratio of Mn, at 25 circulation time generation electrolyte leakages.This fact shows, for the enclosed alkali battery of the high reliability that obtains not have to leak through long-term charge-discharge cycles, and the ratio of Mn preferably 5%.
Consider the ratio of Mn and for the first time ratio of the relation of circulation time discharge capability and Mn and the relation between the battery that takes place to leak, active positive electrode material preferably adopts such NiOOH that comprises solid solution element M n, and wherein the ratio of Mn is 5 to 50%.
(experiment 4)
In this experiment, adopt NiOOH that contains solid solution element M n and the α-Ni (OH) that comprises solid solution element M n 2Mixture as active positive electrode material, to α-Ni (OH) 2The permission mixing ratio analyze.
With different ratio wherein the ratio of Mn be α-Ni (OH) of 20% 2With the γ ratio be 65%, mix the preparation active positive electrode material thereby the ratio of Mn is 20% NiOOH, they are to obtain when the positive electrode of preparation embodiment 1.
In addition, with the Zn powder of 55 parts of weight, the Zinc oxide powder of 10 parts of weight, the potassium hydroxide aqueous solution of the 40 weight % of the Zn that comprises saturated quantity of 34 parts of weight and mix as the acrylic resin of 1 part of weight of gel, thus obtain the colloid negative electrode.According to making enclosed alkali storage battery M with embodiment 1 identical mode, N, O, P and Q, difference is that it adopts active positive electrode material recited above and negative electrode active material.Each battery is carried out the charge-discharge cycles test, in circulation each time, when 150mA, it is charged to 1.95V, and under the load of 3.9 Ω, it is discharged to the cell voltage of 0.9V, thereby 5 times have been obtained, 10 times, 25 times, the number of the battery of leakage takes place in 50 circulation times.The results are shown in the table 4.
Table 4
Figure G2007101698909D00111
