Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an air cell capable of coping with heavy-load discharge by reducing an internal resistance without causing the lowering of an operating voltage and the deterioration in formability of a catalyst layer. SOLUTION: This air cell is provided with a positive electrode having a catalyst layer 5 containing activated carbon, and is also provided with a gel negative electrode 8 containing electrolyte and zinc powder.

In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for batteries that can be discharged with a heavier load. In response to such demands, the development of air batteries having a high operating voltage and a low internal resistance has been promoted. Have been. That is, a configuration in which a carbon black-based (Ketjen black or acetylene black) conductive material is added to the catalyst layer 5 built in the air battery to reduce the internal resistance has been attempted.

[0007] However, when a carbon black conductive material is added to the catalyst layer, little effect is seen with a small amount. In addition, when the amount is increased, the phenomenon that the operating voltage is reduced but the formability is deteriorated occurs although the internal resistance is reduced. The reason is that the amount of the catalyst corresponding to the content of the conductive material is reduced, and sufficient catalytic activity cannot be obtained. In other words, when a large amount of the conductive material is added, the operating voltage is rather lowered as a result, so that the heavy load is hindered.
