極板の代表的なものは焼結式により得られたものであっ
た。この焼結式極板の場合、活物質保持体としての焼結
基板の孔径が小さいので、活物質を粉末状態で直接充填
することができず、活物質塩を含浸し、これを活物質に
転化するなどの煩雑な工程を要した。(B) Conventional technology Conventionally, a typical nickel positive electrode plate such as a nickel-cadmium storage battery has been obtained by a sintering method. In the case of this sintered type electrode plate, since the pore diameter of the sintered substrate as the active material holding member is small, the active material cannot be directly filled in a powder state, and the active material salt is impregnated with the active material salt.

る。Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-5344 proposes a method of adding a cobalt compound in order to improve the utilization rate of a non-sintered nickel positive electrode plate. The added cobalt compound is
It is oxidized in the early stage of the first charge and changes to cobalt oxyhydroxide having high conductivity. As a result, the conductivity between nickel hydroxide is improved and the utilization factor is improved.
しかし、活物質中に添加されたコバルト化合物を充電
時に完全にオキシ水酸化コバルトへ酸化することは困難
である。このため、コバルト化合物を添加し導電性が向
上する効果を十分に引き出すことができない。However, it is difficult to completely oxidize the cobalt compound added to the active material to cobalt oxyhydroxide during charging. Therefore, the effect of improving the conductivity by adding a cobalt compound cannot be sufficiently brought out.

性の向上効果を充分に得ることができない。However, when adding nickel oxyhydroxide to a nickel electrode, if it is added in the form of a powder, the local portion lacks uniformity, and the cobalt compound changes to cobalt oxyhydroxide near the nickel oxyhydroxide. Therefore, cobalt oxyhydroxide also has poor uniformity, and the effect of improving conductivity cannot be sufficiently obtained.
尚、コバルト化合物を酸化してオキシ水酸化コバルト
とするためには、オキシ水酸化コバルトが3価なのでコ
バルト化合物は2価以下としなければならない。ここ
で、2価以下のコバルト化合物としては、金属コバル
ト、水酸化コバルト等が挙げられる。In order to oxidize the cobalt compound into cobalt oxyhydroxide, the cobalt compound must be divalent or less since cobalt oxyhydroxide is trivalent. Here, examples of the divalent or lower valent cobalt compound include metallic cobalt and cobalt hydroxide.
