Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve withstand-voltage characteristics in an enclosed alkaline manganese secondary cell, by using a negative electrode, in which a specific amount of cadmium powder is contained into zinc weight, so that oxygen gas generated on a positive electrode is absorbed and removed by the cadmium. CONSTITUTION:Cadmium powder of 5-40 wt % is contained into zinc, which is a main active material on a negative electrode, to form the negative electrode 7. Then, it is combined with a positive electrode 2, on which manganese oxide such as manganese dioxide is used as a main active material, a separator 4, an impregnation material 5, alkaline aqueous solution serving as electrolytic solution, and so on, to form an enclosed alkaline manganese secondary cell. Then, oxygen gas generated at the positive electrode 2 acts to be absorbed and removed by the cadmium on the negative electrode 7. Therefore, withstand- voltage characteristics can be improved with suppression of expansion generated in the cell.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Generally, in this type of secondary battery, oxygen gas is generated from the positive electrode and hydrogen gas is generated from the negative electrode due to water decomposition of the electrolyte under pressure-resistant conditions, causing the battery to swell. Although the generation of hydrogen gas from the negative electrode can be prevented by adding zinc oxide as mentioned above, it is not possible to prevent oxygen gas from being generated from the positive electrode, and there is still the problem that the battery swells due to this cause.
