(b) Prior Art As cadmium cathodes used in nickel-cadmium storage batteries and the like, non-sintered cadmium cathodes such as paste-type cadmium cathodes, which have a simple manufacturing process and are inexpensive to manufacture, are widely used industrially. This type of cadmium cathode is made by coating and filling a copper electric core with a paste formed by kneading an active material such as cadmium oxide powder or cadmium hydroxide powder with a glue solution.
Next, it is manufactured by drying and chemical conversion treatment, followed by washing with water and drying, but as the binding force between the active material and the conductive core is weak, the active material peels off or falls off during the chemical conversion process, etc. Therefore, there are drawbacks such as large capacity deterioration during charge/discharge cycles.

For this reason, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 58-32744, a mixture of cadmium oxide powder as a main active material and metal cadmium powder as a pre-charge product is used as the active material to be contained in the paste. By using this, the chemical conversion process for paste-type cadmium cathodes is virtually unnecessary, and
It has been proposed to prevent battery capacity deterioration as the charge/discharge cycle progresses.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention However, as a metal cadmium powder used for this purpose, a mixture of zinc powder and nickel powder in a cadmium salt solution disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Publication No. 58-32744. Obtained by a method of dispersing powder and pulverizing spongy metallic cadmium containing nickel, which is precipitated by a substitution reaction that takes advantage of the difference in ionization tendency between cadmium and zinc (hereinafter referred to as the "zinc substitution method"). When using cadmium powder, the utilization rate of the obtained metal cadmium powder was low.

There is also a method of dispersing cadmium oxide in an alkaline solution and electrolytically reducing it to use the spongy metallic cadmium as metallic cadmium powder for pre-charged products. Because only a small amount dissolves in the electrolytic reduction, it is not possible to increase the current for electrolytic reduction, which lengthens the time required for electrolytic reduction and requires a large amount of current, which complicates the manufacturing process. difficult to apply in practice.

(E) Effect The atomic number of indium is 49, and the atomic number of cadmium is 48, and their atomic weights are similar, so indium atoms are easily substituted in the cadmium metal crystal, causing lattice defects in the cadmium metal crystal and changing the crystal state. Stabilize. Since this structure has a large effect on the electronic state, the reaction is electrochemically activated and metal cadmium can be obtained with a high utilization rate. Furthermore, since the substituted cadmium is produced by reacting a cadmium salt solution containing indium with zinc powder, indium is uniformly contained in the metal cadmium powder, resulting in a high utilization rate.

(f) Example 100g/10 of cadmium sulfate solution in terms of cadmium ions and 0.5 in terms of indium ions
Add 1 g/g of indium sulfate, pH = 2, temperature 60
Keep at ℃. Zinc powder for 100 mesh passes here 250
By adding 2.5 g of nickel powder and 2.5 g of nickel powder and stirring, about 420 g of spongy metal cadmium containing 0.5% by weight of indium is obtained. Incidentally, nickel powder is added here to prevent the generated substituted cadmium from forming into lumps. This metal cadmium was filtered and repeatedly washed with water to remove sulfate ions and zinc ions to a specified concentration or less, and then dried and crushed at 70°C in a nitrogen atmosphere for 100 mesh passes. 10 parts by weight of this metal cadmium powder and 90 parts by weight of cadmium oxide are dispersed in 35 parts by weight of water,
Add 1 part by weight of methyl cellulose as a glue and further 0.9 parts by weight of short acrylic fibers, knead to obtain an active material paste, apply this to the punching core,
It was dried and cut into predetermined dimensions to form a cadmium cathode. Using this cathode, a nickel plate was used as a counter electrode in a potassium hydroxide solution with a specific gravity of 1.25, and after charging for 15 hours with a current of 0.15C when the cathode capacity was 1C,
The cathode utilization rate was calculated by discharging at a current of 0.3C.
The figure shows the relationship between the indium content in metal cadmium and the cathode utilization rate, and the cathode utilization rate was calculated as follows.

Cathode utilization rate (%) = discharge capacity / theoretical capacity × 100 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that the cathode utilization rate improves when indium is contained in metal cadmium, and the indium content is 0.05~
A range of 2.00% by weight is preferable, and in particular, when the content is 0.5% by weight, the maximum utilization rate is 78.7%. Note that as the indium content increases, the utilization rate decreases, and the reason for this is presumed to be that lattice defects cannot be obtained because cadmium and indium each form a single crystal.

(g) Effects of the invention According to the cadmium cathode of the present invention, a cadmium cathode with high utilization rate can be obtained, the cathode capacity can be improved, and the capacity of the anode can be set higher by the increase in the capacity of the cathode, so the battery capacity can be increased. . Furthermore, when the anode capacity is set as before, the utilization rate of the cathode is high and cathode domination is less likely to occur, so overcharging characteristics can be improved.
