Nonaqueous solvent batteries that use lithium or sodium as negative electrode active materials have high energy density, excellent storage characteristics, and a wide operating temperature range, and are often used as backup power sources for calculators, watches, and memories. Such batteries are composed of a negative electrode, an electrolyte, and a positive electrode, and generally an alkali metal such as lithium or sodium is used as the negative electrode.
A solution prepared by dissolving an electrolyte such as lithium perchlorate or lithium borofluoride in a nonaqueous solvent such as propylene carbonate, γ-butyrolactone, or dimethoxyethane is used as the electrolyte, and manganese dioxide, graphite fluoride, etc. are used as the positive electrode, respectively.

Among the batteries mentioned above, lithium is used for the negative electrode,
Using thionyl chloride (SOCl 2 ) as the main positive electrode active material,
So-called lithium-thionyl chloride batteries are attracting attention because of their particularly high energy density. Such batteries have a positive electrode made of a porous carbon body and a metal current collector, and generally use thionyl chloride (SOCl 2 ) in which lithium chloride (LiCl) and aluminum chloride (AlCl 3 ) are dissolved as an electrolyte. Therefore, SOCl 2 serves both as a positive electrode active material and as an electrolyte.

By the way, in a battery using SOCl 2 as the positive electrode active material, the negative electrode reaction is a reaction in which the negative electrode metal dissolves in the electrolyte as metal ions, while the positive electrode reaction is a reaction in which the negative electrode metal dissolves on the porous carbon material that is one of the constituent materials of the positive electrode. This is a reaction in which a reaction product is produced on the surface of the porous carbon body. However, in conventional batteries having a positive electrode made of a porous carbon body obtained by mixing acetylene black with a polymer binder such as polytetrafluoroethylene, molding it into a predetermined shape, and drying it, the reaction product is When formed on the porous carbon body, the electrode reaction is significantly inhibited and the discharge capacity is reduced. Moreover, the above-mentioned battery has a drawback in that the discharge efficiency is significantly lower in large current discharge than in low current discharge.

When the load discharge characteristics of the batteries of this example and comparative example at room temperature and 300Ω were investigated, the characteristic diagram shown in FIG. 2 was obtained. Note that A in FIG. 2 is the discharge characteristic curve of the battery of this example, and B is the same curve of the battery of the comparative example. As is clear from FIG. 2, the battery of the present invention (A in the diagram) has a significantly longer discharge time than the conventional battery (B in the diagram).
Furthermore, it can be seen that the discharge voltage is high. The reason why the battery of the present invention has such excellent discharge characteristics is that the porous carbon body of the positive electrode is mainly composed of carbon black, which has a structure in which a thin graphite crystal layer is formed around the chain-shaped particles. This is because the conductivity and reaction surface area of the positive electrode can be significantly improved.

Note that in the above embodiments, a cylindrical positive electrode was used, but the positive electrode is not limited to this. For example, a spiral positive electrode may be used, in which a kneaded mixture of carbon black and a polymer binder is pressed onto a metal current collector to form a band, which is then wound and dried.
