Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide paste with fluidity with a less amount of dispersing agent, improving the producibility, and enhance the electric discharging performance by using pectin to the binder consisting of Zn oxide powder and Zn powder or a simple substance of Zn powder. CONSTITUTION:Pectin is used to the binder consisting of Zn oxide powder and Zn powder or a simple substance of Zn powder, and thereby a paste with good fluidity is obtained. Using a continuous coating device this paste is coated on a Cu or Ag electricity collector, which has undergone punching and surface roughing process. The output is dried in a drying furnace 4 and passed through a roll couple 8 for adjustment of the thickness as electrode plate, and thus a Zn plate is manufactured. Using pectin as a binder gives a large mechanical strength, easiness for processing, and excellent battery performance.

In addition, in order to increase the amount of water added and make a paste that can be coated, the amount of the above aqueous solution must be more than 2.5 times the weight of the zinc powder alone or the mixture of zinc powder and zinc oxide powder, so a large amount is required for drying. energy is required. or,
After drying, the electrode plate had a disadvantage in that the active material easily fell off due to the formation of many cracks.
