て乾燥した後多孔性のフッ素樹脂膜を密着させていた。Conventional Structure and Problems Conventionally, the air electrode of an air battery has generally been made as follows. First, activated carbon, precious metals, manganese oxide, etc. were thoroughly kneaded with a fluororesin dispersion to form a paste, which was then applied to a metal screen in the form of a sheet, dried, and then covered with a porous fluororesin membrane. .
ここで触媒シート中にフッ素樹脂を混入するのは、空気
中の酸素を正極活物質として利用するため、酸素を触媒

シート中を通過したアルカリ電解液が触媒シート表面に
たまっだシ、電池外へ漏出するのを防止するためである
。The reason why the fluororesin is mixed into the catalyst sheet is to maintain water repellency so that oxygen can easily diffuse into the catalyst since oxygen in the air is used as a positive electrode active material. The reason why the porous fluororesin membrane is placed in close contact with the catalyst sheet is to prevent the alkaline electrolyte that has passed through the catalyst sheet from accumulating on the surface of the catalyst sheet and leaking out of the battery.
この観点からすると、従来の触媒シートと多孔性フッ素
樹脂膜との界面は必ずしも密着力及び撥水力が強くない
ため、長期保存中にフッ素樹脂膜が触媒シートより部分
的にはがれ、触媒シートを通過した電解液がその剥離部
分にたまり、酸素の拡散を妨害して電池の放電特性を劣
下させる原因となっていた。From this point of view, the interface between the conventional catalyst sheet and porous fluororesin membrane does not necessarily have strong adhesion and water repellency, so during long-term storage, the fluororesin membrane may partially peel off from the catalyst sheet and pass through the catalyst sheet. The electrolytic solution accumulated in the peeled part interfered with the diffusion of oxygen, causing a deterioration in the discharge characteristics of the battery.

できる。Purpose of the Invention The present invention solves the problems of the prior art, and improves the adhesion strength between the catalyst sheet and the porous fluororesin membrane that constitute the gas diffusion type air electrode. The purpose is to improve reliability (life) and ensure long-term storage of air batteries. - Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides an aqueous dispersion of polytetrafluoroethylene (pTFE) on one side of a catalyst sheet containing a fluororesin to which a porous fluororesin membrane is adhered under pressure. The main feature of this method is that it is applied and dried, and that it is heat-treated at a temperature of 100 to 400'C before or after the porous fluororesin membrane is pressed and adhered. By doing this, the adhesion strength between the catalyst sheet and the porous fluororesin membrane can be strengthened by the soft fibrous fluororesin obtained from the aqueous dispersion of PTFE, and the adhesive strength between the catalyst sheet and the porous fluororesin membrane can be strengthened. The water repellency of the interface can be increased. Therefore, even if the electrolytic solution should permeate the catalyst sheet, it will not leak to this interface, and the life of the gas diffusion air electrode can be greatly extended.

散が明害されただめと思われる。As is clear from the margin table below, immediately after manufacture, the maintenance voltage did not change when the coating amount of the aqueous PTFE dispersion ranged from 0 to 10.0wC7R, and deteriorated by 5 at 15.0wC7R. In addition, when the treatment temperature is from untreated to 500°C, untreated and 500'C are bad, and from 100'c to 4QO'c (
VC200-300'C is good. This is thought to be because the surfactant contained in the aqueous dispersion of PTFE remains when untreated, making the catalyst easy to wet and hindering air diffusion.

良好にしているためである。From these facts, it is assumed that the coating amount of PTFH aqueous disperge 17 is 0.5 to 10.0 my/ctA and the treatment temperature is 1.
It is clear that at temperatures between 00 and 400'C, the storage properties are superior to those not coated with conventional fluororesin. As mentioned above, this is because the PTFE resin applied to the surface of the catalyst sheet strongly bonds to the fluororesin in the catalyst sheet and the porous fluororesin membrane that adheres to one side of the sheet, and the repellency of the interface area. This is because it strengthens the air and improves air diffusion.

うな結果が得られた。Even when this heat treatment was carried out after the porous fluororesin membrane was brought into close contact with the catalyst sheet under pressure, results exactly similar to those described above were obtained.

Since good diffusion is maintained, the life of the gas diffusion type air electrode can be improved.
