Abstract

PURPOSE:To retard an increase in open circuit voltage during storage by adding LiCuO in a positive electrode. CONSTITUTION:1-10wt.% of LiCuO is added to a positive electrode. By adding LiCuO to the positive electrode, the competitive reaction of CuO with LiCuO progresses and the open circuit voltage shows a mixed potential of CuO and LiCuO. Since the voltage of CuO alone is 2.2V and that of LiCuO alone is 1.6V, the electrode shows lower voltage than that made of CuO alone.

C. Problems to be solved by the invention By the way, a non-aqueous electrolyte battery that combines a negative electrode made of lithium or a lithium alloy and a cupric oxide positive electrode has a high potential open circuit voltage (OCV) of about 3V after assembly.

As a countermeasure against this problem, preliminary discharge treatment is carried out after battery assembly. This pre-discharge removes the initial high open circuit voltage, but in this type of battery, water enters during storage and reacts with active parts in the positive electrode.
There is also the problem that the open circuit voltage increases, which cannot be solved by pre-discharge.

2. Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a non-aqueous electrolyte battery comprising a negative electrode made of lithium or a lithium alloy, a non-aqueous electrolyte, and a positive electrode containing cupric oxide as an active material. It is characterized by the addition of LiCuO.

E. LiC is used as a positive electrode containing cupric oxide (Cuo) as an active material.
When uO is added, a competitive reaction between CuO and LiCuO proceeds, and the open circuit voltage becomes a hybrid potential of CuO and LiCuO. Here, the voltage of CuO alone is 2.2V.

Since LiCuQ alone is 1.6V, the open circuit voltage is C
This is lower than when uO is used alone. Therefore, even if the open circuit voltage increases during storage, it can be suppressed to a lower level than in the case of CuO alone.
