Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance adhesiveness between positive electrode parts and prevent leakage of liquid by processing fluoric resin films used as positive electrode parts through plasma radiation. CONSTITUTION:One side of a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film 7 manufac tured under the variation temperature of less than 327 deg.C is plasma radiation- processed. The processed side of this film 7 and a catalyst substance 6a filled in a nickel screen 6b are touched together and press-applied by having them pass through between two rolls, with a result that an air electrode 5 is obtained. This air electrode 5 is punched with the same diameter as the inner diameter of a positive electrode case 1, and with the side of the PTFE film facing, down ward is inserted into the positive electrode case 1. Through a separator 8, negative electrode's active material 11 is filled on it, and when sealing pieces on both positive and negative electrode sides are fitted together, the air button battery is completed.

Conventional row configuration and its problems Conventional air button batteries have two fluororesin films that are integrated with another fluororesin film to form a positive electrode catalyst layer on top of a fluororesin film inserted into the inner bottom of the metal positive electrode case. After placing the cells so that their surfaces faced each other and placing a separator thereon, the peripheral edge of the positive electrode catalyst layer was fixed by applying pressure to press the negative electrode case by tightening the battery seal.

However, in the air button battery manufactured by this method, the positive electrode catalyst layer integrated with the fluororesin film may be separated from the fluororesin membrane. Furthermore, during storage or discharge of the air button battery, a strong alkaline electrolyte may penetrate into areas where the adhesion is insufficient.
