Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prolong the cycle lifetime performance by adding a specified quantity of antimony to the positive electrode active material, and while setting the density of the positive electrode active material after forming at a specified value. SOLUTION: Antimony at 0.005-1% in relation to the weight of the positive electrode active material is added to the positive electrode active material so as to prevent the softening of the positive electrode active material of a sealed lead-acid battery and so as to improve the lifetime performance of the battery. Density of the positive electrode active material after forming is set to 3.75g/cc or more. After measuring the 1/3 CA discharging capacity, in the case where antimony added variable is 0.1% and density of the positive electrode active material is 4.5 as a result of the lifetime test, which is performed in the general test condition, lifetime shows six times the case of additive-free. In the case where density of the positive electrode active material is low, added antimony is dissolved in the electrolyte, and thereafter, deposited in a negative electrode, and lifetime of the battery is lowered, instead of improvement.

Although the above-described techniques exist, there are cases where the performance is improved by actually adding the above-mentioned antimony or antimony oxide, and the life performance is rather deteriorated in some cases. When the cause was investigated, antimony was deposited on the negative electrode plate in the battery whose capacity was reduced early, the charging efficiency was reduced, and a large amount of lead sulfate was accumulated. In addition, according to a statistical investigation, this phenomenon was frequently observed in a positive electrode plate having a low active material density.

First, the initial capacity was proportional to the active material density, but there was no difference depending on the amount of Sb added. The results of the life performance are shown in FIG. 1, and when the amount of Sb added was 0.005 to 1%, particularly when the positive electrode active material density was 3.75 g / cc or more, a remarkable improvement was observed. After battery case formation, another battery having the same configuration was disassembled, and the amount of antimony deposited on the negative electrode plate was analyzed. FIG. 2 shows the results.
When an electrode plate of 75 g / cc or less was used, the amount of antimony deposited on the negative electrode plate was large.

As can be seen from the results, when the density of the positive electrode active material is low, the added antimony elutes into the electrolytic solution, and then precipitates on the negative electrode plate, thereby deteriorating the life performance. Since it is known that PbO 2 as a positive electrode active material has the ability to adsorb antimony, in order to keep the added antimony in the positive electrode plate, the positive electrode plate must have an active material density suitable for the amount of antimony added. Must have.

In this example, antimony sulfate was dispersed and added in sulfuric acid. However, even if it was added to water which is one of the paste plaster solutions, the effect was not so different. In addition, although antimony sulfate was used as antimony, the results did not differ significantly even when antimony metal or antimony trioxide was similarly added and tested.
