Abstract

PURPOSE:To check a drop of hydrogen occluded quantities and thereby improve its preservability, by forming a hydrogen occluded electrode, occluding and discharging active material hydrogen, in a way of making its hydrogen occluded alloy exist partially in a part except a peripheral part of the electrode. CONSTITUTION:A hydrogen occluded electrode occluding and discharging active material hydrogen is used for a negative electrode, and an electrode using an active material consisting of a metallic oxide is set down to a positive electrode, thus a metal-oxygen alkaline storage battery is formed up. At this time, paste (a) making LaNi5 or the like a main component and having hydrogen occlusion capacity is stuck to central parts on both sides of a collector body 1m and another paste (b) having no hydrogen occlusion capacity is stuck to the peripheral part, forming a negative electrode. And, an effective reaction area is made smaller as compared with such one as being uniformly stuck with a hydrogen occluded alloy, while a reaction velocity in oxygen inside the cell system and the hydrogen occluded electrode is reduced. Therefore, a drop of hydrogen occluded quantities in the negative electrode is checked and, what is more, its preservability is improvable.

As mentioned above, the storage characteristics will be improved if the hydrogen storage alloy is present locally on the negative electrode rather than uniformly, but if the hydrogen storage alloy is present locally and over a wide range, the contact between the negative electrode and oxygen will increase. The reaction rate cannot be sufficiently reduced.On the other hand, if it is too narrow, the negative electrode capacity will be small.It is desirable that the area is between 30% and 70 cm of the total area of the negative electrode.
