In order to achieve this high electric capacity, two to three proposals have been made regarding positive electrode active materials. All of these proposals use silver, which has a higher bulk density than graphite, which is a conductive additive with a lower bulk density. One proposal is to reduce the surface of silver oxide and form a silver layer on the surface of silver oxide, and another proposal is to add and mix silver powders of various shapes. , the electric capacity can be increased approximately 1.1 times compared to a positive electrode containing graphite.

The reason why the positive electrode of the present invention has a capacity approximately 1.1 times higher than conventional silver oxide batteries that use silver as a conductive agent and maintains the same high rate discharge characteristics is that the gold surface is not oxidized. This is because all of the coated gold acts as a conductive aid, so a small amount of coating is sufficient, whereas with silver, a portion of it is quickly oxidized on the surface, so it is necessary to add a few percent. In addition,
Since gold is a very expensive material, the upper limit is 0.5 parts by weight considering economic efficiency. Therefore, gold coatings contain from 0.1 parts by weight to 0.1 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of silver oxide.
It can be said that 5 parts by weight is optimal.
