産業上の利用分野
本発明は鉛電池の性能向上を図るための負極板の改良に
関するもので、特に銅を負極格子に用いたものの改良に
係るものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to improvements in negative electrode plates for improving the performance of lead-acid batteries, and in particular to improvements in which copper is used for the negative electrode grid.
従来の技術とその問題点
鉛電池の正負極板格子は従来からペースト式、クラッド
式にかかわらず鉛または鉛合金が用いられている。これ

いは化学的特性が鉛電池に適していること、また機械的

ある。Conventional technology and its problems Lead or a lead alloy has traditionally been used for the positive and negative electrode grids of lead batteries, regardless of whether they are a paste type or a clad type. This is due to the fact that its electrochemical and chemical properties, such as corrosion resistance and acid resistance in dilute sulfuric acid, are suitable for lead batteries, and its mechanical strength is almost sufficient, as well as being easy and inexpensive to manufacture. This is because it has excellent characteristics.
一方、鉛合金格子の欠点は密度が約11g/−とかなり

乏しいものとなる。On the other hand, the drawbacks of lead alloy grids are that the density is quite high at about 11g/-, and the electrical resistance is about 20μΩ・], which is about 12~
It has a value as high as 13 times. Therefore, when it comes to large lead batteries, especially tall lead batteries, the resistance of the electrode plates increases significantly, and the further away from the electrode plate terminals the less it contributes to the charge/discharge reaction, resulting in a significant drop in charge/discharge performance. The disadvantage was that it decreased. In order to prevent this, it is necessary to use a large amount of lead alloy in the grid to reduce the voltage drop, but on the other hand, lead batteries are extremely heavy, and their volume increases, resulting in lower energy efficiency.
Wh /KljSWh /K) is extremely poor, making it impractical.
格子材料としての銅は前述したように電気抵抗が鉛より

から銅を鉛合金の代りに負極格子に使用する試みが行わ
れているが、自己放電の増加という問題が発生するため
にまだ実用には至っていない。As mentioned above, copper as a lattice material has significantly lower electrical resistance than lead, and has a lower density of about 8.9 g/-, so when compared with the same weight, the electrical resistance is about 1/16th that of lead, and the same. When compared in terms of resistance, the weight is reduced to about 1/16. In addition, copper is a fairly stable metal in dilute sulfuric acid, and unless it is electrochemically oxidized by anodic polarization from the immersion potential, it will not be eluted into the electrolyte, so it cannot be used as a grid for the positive electrode plate. Although it cannot be used, it may be fully applicable as a negative electrode grid. For this reason, attempts have been made to use copper in the negative electrode grid instead of the lead alloy, but this has not yet been put to practical use because of the problem of increased self-discharge.
これは希硫酸中における水素過電圧が鉛や鉛合金に比べ
て著しく低いために、負極板からの水素ガス発生量の増
加とそれに伴なう活物質の放電反応が進行するからであ
る。This is because the hydrogen overvoltage in dilute sulfuric acid is significantly lower than that in lead or lead alloys, so the amount of hydrogen gas generated from the negative electrode plate increases and the accompanying discharge reaction of the active material progresses.

欠点を有していた。Therefore, when using copper as a negative electrode grid,
The grid was coated with pure lead electroplating to prevent hydrogen overvoltage from decreasing in dilute sulfuric acid. However, the copper used for the grid, whether expanded or hammered, has many lead angle parts, so plating on such areas will increase the current density and cause dendrites to form. Easy to form and also? 1! This method has drawbacks such as the formation of a plating layer with poor adhesion to copper due to variations in flow distribution.

。Means for Solving the Problems The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks when copper is used for the negative electrode grid of a lead-acid battery. Forms a layer)
Furthermore, an electroplated layer of lead is formed thereon. In other words, when hot-dip plating of lead alloy is performed on the surface of a copper current collector, the lead alloy is plated so that the acute corners of the copper lattice surface are rounded, so the current distribution during electroplating becomes uniform, and the copper and The lead plating layer has excellent adhesion.

A lead-acid battery with a capacity of approximately 170 Ah (5 hR) was manufactured and subjected to a life test. The test conditions were a charge-discharge cycle test of ambient humidity [30° C., discharge of 43A for 3 hours, charge of 31A for 5 hours. For comparison, a battery using a conventional copper grid with only a lead electroplated surface as the negative electrode was also tested. Figure 3 shows the change in the amount of hydrogen gas generated when the battery was left unused during the life test. In battery B using a conventional copper lattice body, the amount of hydrogen gas generated when left standing increases from around 1400.
これは銅と鉛メッキ層の密着性が悪くメッキ層が−i剥
