Definitions
- the present invention mainly relates to an end structure of an electrode plate of an alkaline storage battery.
- a positive electrode plate for alkaline storage batteries has been proposed in which nickel hydroxide particles are supported on a foamed nickel substrate with a porosity of about 95% having three-dimensionally continuous voids as shown in Fig. 1.
- Foamed nickel substrates are now widely used as the core material of positive plates for high-capacity alkaline storage batteries.
- the positive electrode plate swells in the thickness direction and the width direction. This is due to the volume expansion of the hydroxide nigel in the positive electrode plate.
- the positive electrode active material protruding in the width direction falls off, there is also a problem that the dropped active material comes into contact with the opposite negative electrode plate. Also, in the negative electrode plate, there may be a problem that the active material falls off or the dropped active material comes into contact with the opposite positive electrode plate.
- core materials having a two-dimensional structure such as a punched metal sheet and an expanded metal sheet have been proposed.
- the core material having a two-dimensional structure is inexpensive because it is usually produced by a mechanical drilling process. If a two-dimensional core is used, the capacity of the positive electrode plate can be increased. Also, if a core material made of electrolytic foil is used, the thickness of the electrode plate can be reduced.
- a core material having a two-dimensional structure has a disadvantage that the active material holding power is weak. Therefore, it has been proposed to three-dimensionally process a core material having a two-dimensional structure into a three-dimensional shape. See Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-130370 (Patent Document 2) and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-15741 (Patent Document 3).
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an example of a core material three-dimensionally processed in a three-dimensional manner.
- FIG. 3 is a partially enlarged view of FIG.
- the core material 1 is composed of a metal sheet 3 having slits formed in a matrix shape, and strip-like portions between the pair of slits alternately project in the front and back directions along one direction X to form a first sheet.
- the first and second curved bulging portions 4 and 7 are formed.
- the first and second curved bulging portions 4 and 7 are arranged in parallel to each other, and form a bulging portion row 8 along the direction X.
- a plurality of bulging portion rows 8 are arranged along a direction Y perpendicular to the direction X via a flat portion 9 having a predetermined width.
- the direction Y is the longitudinal direction of the core 1
- the direction X is the width direction of the core 1.
- a plain portion 5 where the curved bulging portions 4 and 7 are not formed is left.
- a large number of groove-shaped concave portions 15 are formed in the plain portion 5 in a wavy shape in an arrangement parallel to each other.
- the active material holding power is not sufficient. Therefore, when the volume of nickel hydroxide in the positive electrode plate expands due to repeated charge and discharge, the positive electrode plate expands in the thickness direction and the width direction. Therefore, the same problem as in the case of using the foamed nickel substrate occurs.
- An exposed portion of the electrode core material having no active material layer is provided at the end of the electrode plate, and a porous metal layer is bonded to the exposed portion, and the active material is dropped by the porous metal layer. It is conceivable to prevent it. However, when such a porous metal layer faces the counter electrode via the separator, current concentrates on the porous metal layer. The repetition of the charge / discharge cycle accelerates the deterioration of the part of the separator that comes into contact with the porous metal layer.
- the present invention relates to an alkaline storage battery comprising a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate, a separator interposed between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate, and an alkaline electrolyte, wherein a first end of each of the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate has a current collector. At least at the second end opposite to the first end of the positive electrode plate, the end surface and both sides around the end surface are coated with polyethylene resin, and are provided at the second end of the positive electrode plate. It relates to an alkaline storage battery in which a polyethylene resin coating is welded to a separator disposed on both sides thereof.
- the end face of the electrode plate and both sides around the end face are completely covered with polyethylene resin as an insulating material, and the polyethylene resin is welded to the separator so that the polyethylene resin is not used. It can be prevented from protruding in the width direction of the electrode plate together with the active material.
- the second end of the negative electrode plate also has the end face and both sides around the end face. But coated with polyethylene resin It is preferred that
- the melting point of the polyethylene resin is preferably 120 ° C. or less. If the melting point of the polyethylene resin is 120 ° C. or less, the end of the electrode plate can be covered with the polyethylene resin without damaging the active material.
- the thickness of the polyethylene resin film on the end face of the second end (in the direction perpendicular to the end face of the electrode plate) is preferably 5 to 50 m.
- the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate usually include an electrode core material and an active material layer carried on the electrode core material. Therefore, in at least one of the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate, at least the second end of the electrode plate coated with the polyethylene resin may be an exposed portion of the electrode core material having no active material layer. It is preferable that a porous metal layer is joined to the exposed portion of the electrode core. In such a structure, an effect of preventing the active material from falling off by the porous metal layer can be obtained.
- the thickness of the exposed portion of the electrode core material and the second end portion made of the porous metal layer is preferably 50 to 100% of the thickness of the electrode plate made of the electrode core material and the active material layer.
- the current collector is preferably an exposed portion of the electrode core material having no active material layer. In this case, it is preferable that at least the periphery of the boundary between the current collector and the active material layer is covered with a polyethylene resin.
- a porous metal layer can be joined to the exposed portion of the electrode core material in the current collector. It is preferable that a part of the porous metal layer is covered with an end of the active material layer adjacent to the exposed part. In such a structure, the current flowing into the porous metal layer is cut off by the polyethylene resin as the insulating material. Therefore, current can be prevented from being concentrated on the porous metal layer, and the partial degradation of the separator contacting the porous metal layer can be suppressed. It is preferable to use a metal foil or a metal sheet that has been subjected to lath processing or perforation processing as the electrode core material.
- a slit is formed in a matrix shape on a metal foil or a metal sheet, and strip-shaped portions between a pair of slits are alternately projected in a front-back direction along one direction, thereby forming a first and second curved expansion. Form a protrusion.
- the present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate, a separator interposed between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate, and an alkaline storage battery comprising an alkaline electrolyte.
- the manufacturing method includes: (a) a step of producing a positive electrode plate having a current collector at a first end and a negative electrode plate having a current collector at a first end; (b) at least a first electrode of the positive electrode; (C) laminating or winding the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate via a separator at the second end opposite to the end, and coating the end face and both sides of the end face with a polyethylene resin; And (d) heating the second end carrying the polyethylene resin to weld the polyethylene resin coating to the separators disposed on both sides thereof.
- the step (b) includes, for example, a step of applying an aqueous dispersion of a polyethylene resin to the end face of the second end of the electrode plate and both sides around the end face.
- the step of applying the water dispersion of the polyethylene resin to the end face and both sides around the end face includes continuously supplying the water dispersion of the polyethylene resin to the surface of the rotating roll from one direction, A step of providing a coating film of a predetermined thickness on the surface of the roll, and contacting the electrode plate, which is arranged perpendicularly to the surface of the roll, with the end face and both sides around the end face in contact with the coating film, by tangent to the roll.
- the method comprises a step of moving in the direction. At this time, a uniform coating film can be applied to the end of the electrode plate by moving the electrode plate in synchronization with the rotation speed of the roll.
- methylcellulose is dissolved as a thickener and an anti-settling agent for the polyethylene resin.
- Such an aqueous dispersion has excellent storage stability over a long period of time, and has a viscosity suitable for coating.
- a paste containing a metal powder and a thickener is applied along at least a second end opposite to the first end of the electrode core material, and the paste is dried and sintered. Forming a porous metal layer, and supporting the active material layer on the electrode core, leaving at least the first end and the second end of the electrode core.
- the step (a) may further include a step of applying the paste along a first end of the electrode core material, drying and sintering the paste to form a porous metal layer. it can.
- a short circuit between the positive electrode active material and the negative electrode plate and the falling off of the active material can be effectively prevented by an extremely simple method. Therefore, it is possible to effectively suppress a micro short circuit that is likely to occur in the battery after repeating the charge / discharge cycle. Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent current from concentrating on the current collector, and to suppress partial deterioration of the separator.

- An electrode plate can be obtained by cutting the sheet comprising the electrode core material and the active material layer thus obtained into predetermined dimensions as needed.

- FIG. 6 is a plan view of an example of an electrode plate provided with a polyethylene resin coating 34.
- FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line I-I of the electrode plate 30 of FIG.
- the polyethylene resin film is formed, for example, by applying an aqueous dispersion of the polyethylene resin to the end face of the second end of the electrode plate and both sides around the end face, and then heating the coat. It is also conceivable to apply a polyethylene resin melted by heating. However, it is difficult to form a thin film using such a method. Note that, similarly to the second end, a polyethylene resin may be applied to an end other than the second end of the electrode plate.
- aqueous dispersion of the polyethylene resin a commercially available one can be used.
- solid content ratio of an aqueous dispersion of a commercially available polyethylene resin is high (for example, a resin content of 60% by weight or more), it is preferable to dilute with water or the like. If an aqueous dispersion having a high solid content ratio is used as it is, it becomes difficult to form a polyethylene resin film having a desired thickness.
- the polyethylene resin When diluting an aqueous dispersion, if pure water is used, the polyethylene resin may coagulate and settle. To prevent this, use water that has a thickening effect. It is effective to add a soluble resin to the dilution water. However, when a water-soluble resin containing an alkali metal such as carboxymethylcellulose is used, the sedimentation of the polyethylene resin is further promoted, which has an adverse effect. Therefore, it is preferable to use a water-soluble resin containing no alkali metal, for example, methylcellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, and the like, and it is particularly preferable to use methylcellulose.
- a water-soluble resin containing no alkali metal for example, methylcellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, and the like, and it is particularly preferable to use methylcellulose.
- the content of the polyethylene resin is preferably from 10 to 50% by weight. If the content of the polyethylene resin is less than 10% by weight, the coating of the polyethylene resin is likely to have a defect. If the content exceeds 50% by weight, the surface tension of the aqueous dispersion becomes large, so that uniform application becomes difficult. .
- the content of the polyethylene resin can be changed at any time depending on the desired thickness of the coating film.
- the content of the water-soluble resin in the aqueous dispersion of the polyethylene resin is preferably 2.5 to 5.0% by weight. If the content of the water-soluble resin is too large, the water-soluble resin elutes from the film into the electrolyte after the polyethylene resin is formed into a film. Therefore, the expected insulation effect of polyethylene resin is reduced. On the other hand, if the content of the water-soluble resin is too small, it becomes difficult to obtain a uniform coating film.
- the polyethylene resin covering at least the second end of the electrode plate preferably has a low density.
- the melting point of the polyethylene resin is preferably 120 ° C. or lower, more preferably 110 ° C. or lower. If the melting point of the polyethylene resin exceeds 120, the active material is deteriorated when the end portion of the electrode plate is heated to weld the polyethylene resin to the electrode plate, and the utilization rate of the active material is reduced. .
- Double bonds remain in the polyethylene resin molecule during the manufacturing process.
- Double bond content in polyethylene resin is as low as possible Is preferred.
- the polyethylene is in an oxidized state, and the decomposition of the polyethylene resin may progress from a double bond as a base point. For this reason, when a polyethylene resin having a high content of double bonds is used, the coating tends to deteriorate when the charge and discharge cycle of the battery is repeated.
- the method for applying the aqueous dispersion of the polyethylene resin to at least the end face of the second end of the electrode plate and both sides around the end face is not particularly limited.
- a uniform coating film can be obtained.
- FIG. 8 is conceptually drawn, and the dimensions and the like of each element are different from reality.
- an aqueous dispersion 50 of a polyethylene resin is continuously supplied to the surface of the rotating roll 51 from one direction, and a coating film 52 having a predetermined thickness is provided on the surface of the mouth.
- the roll 51 is installed at a position where the liquid surface of the aqueous dispersion of the polyethylene resin and the cross section of the roll perpendicular to the rotation axis 53 intersect. Then, the roll 51 is rotated at an arbitrary speed.
- the rotation axis 53 of the roll is parallel or almost parallel to the liquid surface.
- the aqueous dispersion adheres to the surface as a coating film.
- the roll surface to which the coating film of the aqueous dispersion adheres moves on the liquid surface according to the rotation.
- the rotation speed of the roll is appropriately adjusted according to the viscosity of the aqueous dispersion so that the coating film of the aqueous dispersion having a desired thickness adheres to the roll surface.
- the roll 51 it is preferable to arrange the roll 51 so that 50% or more of the cross section of the roll perpendicular to the rotation axis 53 is positioned below the liquid level. If the proportion of the roll located below the liquid surface is less than 50%, the thickness of the coating film of the aqueous dispersion adhering to the roll surface varies greatly. The percentage of rolls located below the liquid level is 100% In this case, the end of the electrode plate is brought into direct contact with the liquid surface of the aqueous dispersion, which makes it difficult to apply the aqueous dispersion stably to the end of the electrode plate.
- the electrode plate 54 arranged perpendicular to the surface of the roll is contacted.
- the aqueous dispersion 56 of the polyethylene resin can be applied to the end face of the second end 55 of the electrode plate 54 and both sides around the end.
- the same can be applied to the case where an aqueous dispersion of a polyethylene resin is applied to the first end of the electrode plate.
- the moving speed of the electrode plate is appropriately adjusted according to the viscosity of the aqueous dispersion, the rotation speed of the roll, and the like.
- the direction of movement of the electrode plate may be the same as or opposite to the direction of movement of the roll surface.
- the diameter of the roll is preferably at least 150 mm.
- the larger the diameter of the roll the more the dripping of the coating film of the aqueous dispersion due to the effect of the surface tension is suppressed. Therefore, a coating film having a uniform thickness can be provided on the end face of the end of the electrode plate and on both sides around the end face.
