Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance the cyclic characteristic at high rate discharging and inhibit self-discharging by adding Ni hydroxide to a neg. electrode plate which uses Cd oxide as main active substance, subjecting it to a process of chemical formation, and then leaving the neg. electrode plate in an alkali aqueous solution at a high temp. CONSTITUTION:A neg. electrode plate using Cd oxide as main active substance and containing Ni hydroxide as additive is subjected to a chemical formation and left in an alkali aqueous solution at a high temp., that is followed by rinsing and drying process. Through immersion of the electrode plate in alkali aque. solution at high temp. after the process of chemical formation, in this manner, the surface areas of the active substance become small owing to the interaction of Ni hydroxide and the active substance. This suppresses reactivity of the Ni hydroxide with active substance, and self-discharging is suppressed.

(b) Conventional Technology Various studies have been made to improve the discharge performance of alkaline storage batteries, such as sealed nickel-cadmium storage batteries, which are equipped with negative electrode plates containing cadmium oxide as the main active material. Recently, the use of sealed nickel-cadmium storage batteries for consumer use has expanded, and when used as a power source for power tools, improved characteristics are required, especially during high rate discharge. However, although many studies have been made to improve this high rate discharge characteristic, sufficient performance has not yet been achieved.

In order to improve the performance of negative electrode plates, studies are being conducted on additives that control the charge/discharge reaction (dissolution-precipitation reaction) of cadmium. There are many additives related to the addition of organic substances such as lidanine, carboxymethylcellulose, and methylcellulose, but organic additives decompose within the battery and produce carbonate radicals, reducing the concentration of the electrolyte. . In addition, when constructing a normal battery, a preliminary charge amount is secured in advance on the negative electrode plate so that a dischargeable charged portion remains on the negative electrode when the positive electrode is completely discharged, but when the carbonate radicals are generated, There is a problem that the amount of preliminary charge of this negative electrode plate decreases.
