Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the nonuniform absorption of oxygen gas and a shape change by dividing the active material of a negative electrode plate on the same electrode plate with alkali-resistant resin, and completely separating the divided portions. CONSTITUTION:A current collector 1 made of copper punching metal and bulkheads 2 made of Teflon form a grid shape, the inner face is divided, and it contains an active material 3 mainly made of zinc and zinc oxide and a terminal 4. A sheet of a negative electrode is divided with bulkheads made of alkali-resistant resin, and liquid retaining layers kept in contact with the bulkheads are deposited or pressed to the bulkheads to completely separate the active material at various portions. A shape change due to the diffusion of zincate ions is prevented, and the absorption of oxygen gas only at the peripheral section of an electrode plate can be suppressed by the bulkheads provided at the peripheral section of the electrode plate, the oxygen gas is diffused to the center section of the electrode plate through the bulkheads, thus nonuniform absorption of the oxygen gas can be prevented.

FIG. 3 shows the present invention type/l! These are the results of a cycle life test using 2I, 2I and comparative battery m. This test is a so-called 100% depth of discharge cycle life test in which the battery is charged at IA for 10.5 hours and then discharged to 1°2mm per cell. As can be seen from this figure, in the initial stage of cycle charging and discharging of about 10 cycles, inventive batteries I and (2) had a smaller decrease in discharge capacity than comparative battery (2), and their cycle life was also about 120 cycles compared to comparative battery (M). In contrast, the battery I of the present invention had a life of 160 cycles, and the battery II had a life of about 180 cycles, showing good results. Table 1 also shows the battery 1 of the present invention.

Table 1 From these results, it can be seen that the active material of the negative electrode plate is divided, and the liquid retaining layer that contacts the partition wall or the welded layer suppresses the diffusion of sinkelt ions and reduces the '3I-like change. In addition, it is considered that oxygen gas absorption occurs over a wide range of the 78 electrode surfaces due to the partition walls and dividing partition walls placed around the electrode plate. In addition, as a result of this, it is thought that the cycle life was improved because the active material of the opposing positive electrode plate was prevented from being lost.
