Lithium primary batteries have a very long shelf life and can be stored for a long period of time of 10 years or more at room temperature, so they are widely used as main power sources and memory backup power sources for various meters.

- the fluorinated graphite which is the positive electrode active material of the lithium primary battery, contains a trace amount of free fluorine derived from the raw material. Therefore, when the lithium primary battery is stored at a high temperature, hydrofluoric acid is generated by the reaction between free fluorine and a small amount of moisture, and the phenomenon that the hydrofluoric acid corrodes the positive electrode current collector occurs.
- titanium metal has been used for the positive electrode current collector of conventional lithium primary batteries.
- the reason is that titanium metal is excellent in chemical stability with respect to fluorinated graphite, which is a positive electrode active material, and has high corrosion resistance with respect to a nonaqueous electrolyte. Since a thin oxide film is formed on the surface of the metal titanium, it is considered that the corrosion resistance is high (see Patent Document 1).
- a more stable oxide film can be formed by heating and humidifying a positive electrode current collector made of titanium metal. Formation of a stable oxide film not only suppresses corrosion of the positive electrode current collector due to hydrofluoric acid, but also stabilizes internal resistance (Patent Document 2).

- the positive electrode current collector having high resistance to hydrofluoric acid since the positive electrode current collector having high resistance to hydrofluoric acid is used, the concern that an internal short circuit occurs is reduced. Therefore, it is not necessary to increase the thickness of the separator, and a lithium primary battery having high capacity and excellent high-temperature storage characteristics can be provided.
- the lithium primary battery according to the present invention includes a positive electrode plate comprising a positive electrode mixture layer containing fluorinated graphite as a positive electrode active material, and a positive electrode current collector to which the positive electrode mixture layer adheres, and lithium or lithium as the negative electrode active material.

- the positive electrode current collector is formed of stainless steel containing niobium. Corrosion of the positive electrode current collector is suppressed by using stainless steel containing niobium. Therefore, the phenomenon that the metal eluted from the positive electrode current collector is deposited on the surface of the lithium metal or lithium alloy as the negative electrode plate is suppressed. Therefore, a lithium primary battery excellent in high temperature storage characteristics can be obtained.

The thickness is more preferably 10 ⁇ m or more and 30 ⁇ m or less.

- the positive electrode mixture layer may contain a resin material such as a fluororesin as a binder in addition to the fluorinated graphite.
- the positive electrode mixture layer may include a conductive material such as a carbon material as a conductive agent.
- Fluorinated graphite is obtained by reacting a carbon material as a starting material with a fluorine material such as fluorine gas at a high temperature of 200 ° C. to 700 ° C. That is, by reacting a carbon material and a fluorine material with a carbon atom (C) and a fluorine atom (F) at a molar ratio of 1: z, C and F are bonded at a ratio of 1: z. An aggregate of (CF z ) can be obtained. Although it does not specifically limit as a carbon material of a starting material, Petroleum coke, graphite, acetylene black, etc. are mentioned.
- the fluorinated graphite can be represented, for example, by the formula: (CF x ) n (0.25 ⁇ x ⁇ 1.15, n is an integer of 1 or more).
- the higher the degree of fluorination the greater the capacity as the positive electrode active material, but the lower the conductivity and the discharge potential.

It has been used as a body material. However, in a high temperature range of 85 ° C. or higher, the amount of hydrofluoric acid generated by the action of graphite fluoride, which is the positive electrode active material, and moisture in the non-aqueous electrolyte increases.
- niobium-containing stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance against hydrofluoric acid. This is because the niobium oxide film has excellent corrosion resistance against hydrofluoric acid. A niobium oxide film is formed on the surface of the niobium-containing stainless steel. Accordingly, the corrosion resistance of the positive electrode current collector to hydrofluoric acid is improved, and even in a high temperature region of 85 ° C. or higher, the metal is not eluted from the positive electrode current collector into the non-aqueous electrolyte, and the lithium primary having excellent high temperature storage characteristics. A battery is obtained.
- the niobium content in the stainless steel used for the positive electrode current collector is preferably 0.2% by mass or more. This is because when the niobium content is 0.2% by mass or more, an oxide film of niobium can be sufficiently formed on the surface of stainless steel, and the effect of improving the corrosion resistance against hydrofluoric acid can be obtained with certainty. . Therefore, even when free fluorine and a trace amount of water react during high-temperature storage to produce a relatively large amount of hydrofluoric acid, corrosion of the positive electrode current collector is suppressed.
- the niobium content of stainless steel is desirably 1.0% by mass or less from the viewpoint of suppressing the increase in the internal resistance of the battery. If the niobium content in the stainless steel is 1.0% by mass or less, the internal resistance of the battery is not a problem in practice.
