- the separator 20 has hydroxide ion conductivity but does not have water permeability.
- “not having water permeability” in the present specification means an object to be measured when the water permeability is evaluated by a “denseness determination test I” employed in Example 1 described later or a technique or configuration according thereto. It means that the water which contacted one surface side (for example, separator 54 and / or porous substrate 56) does not permeate the other surface side.
- the separator 20 does not have water permeability means that the separator 20 has a high degree of denseness that does not allow water to pass through, and is not a porous film or other porous material having water permeability. Means. For this reason, it has a very effective configuration for physically preventing penetration of the separator by zinc dendrite generated during charging and preventing a short circuit between the positive and negative electrodes.

In any case, since the separator 20 has hydroxide ion conductivity, it is possible to efficiently move the required hydroxide ions between the positive electrode electrolyte 14 and the negative electrode electrolyte 18, and the positive electrode chamber 24 and the negative electrode.
- the charge / discharge reaction in the chamber 26 can be realized.
- the reaction at the time of charging in the positive electrode chamber 24 and the negative electrode chamber 26 is as shown below, and the discharge reaction is reversed.

It is preferable to have a negative electrode-side surplus space 27 having a volume that allows a decrease in the amount of moisture. This effectively prevents problems associated with the increase or decrease in the amount of moisture in the positive electrode chamber 24 and the negative electrode chamber 26 (for example, liquid leakage, deformation of the container due to changes in the container internal pressure, etc.), and further improves the reliability of the nickel zinc battery. Can be improved.
- the positive electrode chamber 24 has a positive electrode-side surplus space 25 having a volume that allows an increase or decrease in the amount of water associated with the positive electrode reaction during charge / discharge, thereby increasing the positive electrolyte 14 during charging as shown in FIG. It can be made to function as a buffer that can cope with this. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the positive electrode side excess space 25 functions as a buffer even after full charge, so that the increased amount of the positive electrode electrolyte solution 14 is reliably held in the positive electrode chamber 24 without overflowing. Can do.
- the negative electrode chamber 26 has a negative electrode-side surplus space 27 having a volume that allows a decrease in the amount of water associated with the negative electrode reaction during charge / discharge, thereby functioning as a buffer that can cope with an increase in the negative electrode electrolyte 18 during discharge. Can be made.
- moisture content in the positive electrode chamber 24 and the negative electrode chamber 26 can be calculated based on the reaction formula mentioned above.
- the amount of H 2 O produced at the positive electrode 12 during charging corresponds to twice the amount of H 2 O consumed at the negative electrode 16. Therefore, the volume of the positive electrode side surplus space 25 may be larger than that of the negative electrode side surplus space 27.
- the volume of the positive-side surplus space 25 can be generated not only from the amount of water increase expected in the positive electrode chamber 24 but also from the positive electrode 12 during overcharge or a gas such as air existing in the positive electrode chamber 24 in advance. It is preferable that the volume has a slight or some margin so that oxygen gas can be accommodated at an appropriate internal pressure.

In any case, the negative electrode side surplus space 27 may be smaller than the positive electrode side surplus space 25 because the amount of water increases or decreases by about half of the amount in the positive electrode chamber 24.

More preferably, the negative electrode 16 and the negative electrode 16 are not filled. In these surplus spaces, electrolyte can be depleted due to a decrease in the amount of water during charging and discharging. That is, even if these surplus spaces are filled with the positive electrode 12 and the negative electrode 16, they cannot be sufficiently involved in the charge / discharge reaction, which is inefficient. Therefore, the positive electrode 12 and the negative electrode 16 can be more efficiently and stably involved in the battery reaction without waste by not filling the positive electrode 12 and the negative electrode 16 in the positive electrode side excess space 25 and the negative electrode side excess space 27, respectively.

Description
前記セパレータ構造体は、水酸化物イオン伝導性を有する無機固体電解質体からなるセラミックスセパレータを含むか、又は前記セラミックスセパレータと、前記セラミックスセパレータの外周を取り囲む樹脂製枠及び/又は樹脂フィルムとを含み、

本発明の二次電池は、水酸化物イオン伝導性セラミックスセパレータを用いたものである。本発明の二次電池は、ニッケル亜鉛二次電池、酸化銀亜鉛二次電池、酸化マンガン亜鉛二次電池、亜鉛空気二次電池、及びその他各種のアルカリ亜鉛二次電池、並びにリチウム空気二次電池等、水酸化物イオン伝導性セラミックスセパレータを適用可能な各種二次電池であることができる。特に、ニッケル亜鉛二次電池及び亜鉛空気二次電池が好ましい。したがって、以下の一般的説明において、ニッケル亜鉛二次電池に関する図1及び亜鉛空気二次電池に関する図3A及び3Bに言及することがあるが、本発明の二次電池はニッケル亜鉛二次電池及び亜鉛空気二次電池に限定されるべきではなく、水酸化物イオン伝導性セラミックスセパレータを採用可能な上述の各種二次電池を概念的に包含するものである。
本発明の好ましい態様によれば、ニッケル亜鉛二次電池が提供される。図1に、本態様によるニッケル亜鉛電池の一例を模式的に示す。図1に示されるニッケル亜鉛電池は充電が行われる前の初期状態を示しており、放電末状態に相当する。もっとも、本態様のニッケル亜鉛電池は満充電状態で構成されてもよいのはいうまでもない。図1に示されるように、本態様によるニッケル亜鉛電池10は、正極12、正極電解液14、負極16、負極電解液18、及びセラミックスセパレータ20を樹脂製容器22内に備えてなる。正極12は、水酸化ニッケル及び/又はオキシ水酸化ニッケルを含んでなる。正極電解液14はアルカリ金属水酸化物を含んでなるアルカリ電解液であり、正極12が浸漬される。負極16は亜鉛及び/又は酸化亜鉛を含んでなる。負極電解液18はアルカリ金属水酸化物を含んでなるアルカリ電解液であり、負極16が浸漬される。樹脂製容器22は、正極12、正極電解液14、負極16、及び負極電解液18を収容する。正極12及び正極電解液14は必ずしも分離している必要はなく、正極12と正極電解液14が混合された正極合材として構成されてもよい。同様に、負極16及び負極電解液18は必ずしも分離している必要はなく、負極16と負極電解液18が混合された負極合材として構成されてもよい。所望により、正極集電体13が正極12に接触して設けられる。また、所望により、負極集電体17が負極16に接触して設けられる。
‐ 正極: Ni(OH)2+OH-→NiOOH+H2O+e-
‐ 負極: ZnO+H2O+2e-→Zn+2OH-
‐ ZnOの溶解反応: ZnO+H2O+2OH-→Zn(OH)4 2-
‐ Znの析出反応: Zn(OH)4 2-+2e-→Zn+4OH-
本発明の別の好ましい態様によれば、亜鉛空気二次電池が提供される。図3A及び3Bに、本態様による亜鉛空気二次電池の一例を模式的に示す。図3A及び3Bに示されるように、本態様による亜鉛空気二次電池30は、空気極32、負極34、アルカリ電解液36、セラミックスセパレータ40、容器46、及び所望により第三電極38を備えてなる。空気極32は正極として機能する。負極34は亜鉛、亜鉛合金及び/又は亜鉛化合物を含んでなる。電解液36は、負極34が浸漬される水系電解液である。容器46は、開口部46aを有し、負極34、電解液36及び第三電極38を収容する。セパレータ40は開口部46aを電解液36と接触可能に塞いで容器46と負極側密閉空間を形成し、それにより空気極32と電解液36を水酸化物イオン伝導可能に隔離する。所望により、正極集電体42が空気極32に接触して設けられてよい。また、所望により、負極集電体44が負極34に接触して設けられてよく、その場合、負極集電体44も容器46内に収容されうる。
第三電極: H2+2OH-→2H2O+2e-
正極放電: O2+2H2O+4e-→4OH-
により水に戻すことができる。別の表現をすれば、負極34で発生した水素ガスが第三電極38で吸収され自己放電をすることになる。これにより、水素ガスの発生による負極側密閉空間における内圧の上昇及びそれに伴う不具合を抑制又は回避できるとともに、(放電反応に伴い上記反応式に従い減少することになる)水を発生させて負極側密閉空間内での水不足を抑制又は回避することができる。すなわち、負極から発生した水素ガスを負極側密閉空間内で水に戻して再利用することができる。その結果、亜鉛デンドライトによる短絡及び二酸化炭素の混入の両方を防止するのに極めて効果的な構成を有しながら、水素ガス発生の問題にも対処可能な、信頼性の高い亜鉛空気二次電池を提供することができる。
前述のとおり、本発明においてセパレータを構成する無機固体電解質体は膜状又は層状の形態であることができる。この場合、膜状又は層状の無機固体電解質体が多孔質基材上又はその中に形成されてなる、多孔質基材付きセパレータとするのが好ましい。特に好ましい多孔質基材付きセパレータは、多孔質基材と、この多孔質基材上及び/又は多孔質基材中に形成されるセパレータ層とを備えてなり、セパレータ層が前述したような層状複水酸化物(LDH)を含んでなるものである。セパレータ層は透水性及び通気性を有しないのが好ましい。すなわち、多孔質材料は孔の存在により透水性及び通気性を有しうるが、セパレータ層は透水性及び通気性を有しない程にまでLDHで緻密化されているのが好ましい。セパレータ層は多孔質基材上に形成されるのが好ましい。例えば、図4に示されるように、多孔質基材28上にセパレータ層20がLDH緻密膜として形成されるのが好ましい。この場合、多孔質基材28の性質上、図4に示されるように多孔質基材28の表面及びその近傍の孔内にもLDHが形成されてよいのはいうまでもない。あるいは、図5に示されるように、多孔質基材28中(例えば多孔質基材28の表面及びその近傍の孔内)にLDHが緻密に形成され、それにより多孔質基材28の少なくとも一部がセパレータ層20’を構成するものであってもよい。この点、図5に示される態様は図4に示される態様のセパレータ層20における膜相当部分を除去した構成となっているが、これに限定されず、多孔質基材28の表面と平行にセパレータ層が存在していればよい。いずれにしても、セパレータ層は透水性及び通気性を有しない程にまでLDHで緻密化されているため、水酸化物イオン伝導性を有するが透水性及び通気性を有しない(すなわち基本的に水酸化物イオンのみを通す)という特有の機能を有することができる。
多孔質基材は、前述したとおりであり、セラミックス材料、金属材料、及び高分子材料からなる群から選択される少なくとも1種で構成されるのが好ましい。多孔質基材は、セラミックス材料で構成されるのがより好ましい。この場合、セラミックス材料の好ましい例としては、アルミナ、ジルコニア、チタニア、マグネシア、スピネル、カルシア、コージライト、ゼオライト、ムライト、フェライト、酸化亜鉛、炭化ケイ素、及びそれらの任意の組合せが挙げられ、より好ましくは、アルミナ、ジルコニア、チタニア、及びそれらの任意の組合せであり、特に好ましくはアルミナ及びジルコニアであり、最も好ましくはアルミナである。これらの多孔質セラミックスを用いるとLDH含有セパレータ層の緻密性を向上しやすい傾向がある。セラミックス材料製の多孔質基材を用いる場合、超音波洗浄、イオン交換水での洗浄等を多孔質基材に施すのが好ましい。
次に、多孔質基材を原料水溶液に所望の向きで(例えば水平又は垂直に)浸漬させる。多孔質基材を水平に保持する場合は、吊るす、浮かせる、容器の底に接するように多孔質基材を配置すればよく、例えば、容器の底から原料水溶液中に浮かせた状態で多孔質基材を固定としてもよい。多孔質基材を垂直に保持する場合は、容器の底に多孔質基材を垂直に設置できるような冶具を置けばよい。いずれにしても、多孔質基材にLDHを略垂直方向又はそれに近い方向(すなわちLDH板状粒子がそれらの板面が多孔質基材の表面(基材面)と略垂直に又は斜めに交差するような向きに)に成長させる構成ないし配置とするのが好ましい。原料水溶液は、マグネシウムイオン(Mg2+)及びアルミニウムイオン(Al3+)を所定の合計濃度で含み、かつ、尿素を含んでなる。尿素が存在することで尿素の加水分解を利用してアンモニアが溶液中に発生することによりpH値が上昇し、共存する金属イオンが水酸化物を形成することによりLDHを得ることができる。また、加水分解に二酸化炭素の発生を伴うため、陰イオンが炭酸イオン型のLDHを得ることができる。原料水溶液に含まれるマグネシウムイオン及びアルミニウムイオンの合計濃度(Mg2++Al3+)は0.20~0.40mol/Lが好ましく、より好ましくは0.22~0.38mol/Lであり、さらに好ましくは0.24~0.36mol/L、特に好ましくは0.26~0.34mol/Lである。このような範囲内の濃度であると核生成と結晶成長をバランスよく進行させることができ、配向性のみならず緻密性にも優れたLDH含有セパレータ層を得ることが可能となる。すなわち、マグネシウムイオン及びアルミニウムイオンの合計濃度が低いと核生成に比べて結晶成長が支配的となり、粒子数が減少して粒子サイズが増大する一方、この合計濃度が高いと結晶成長に比べて核生成が支配的となり、粒子数が増大して粒子サイズが減少するものと考えられる。
そして、原料水溶液中で多孔質基材を水熱処理して、LDHを含んでなるセパレータ層を多孔質基材上及び/又は多孔質基材中に形成させる。この水熱処理は密閉容器中、60~150℃で行われるのが好ましく、より好ましくは65~120℃であり、さらに好ましくは65~100℃であり、特に好ましくは70~90℃である。水熱処理の上限温度は多孔質基材(例えば高分子基材)が熱で変形しない程度の温度を選択すればよい。水熱処理時の昇温速度は特に限定されず、例えば10~200℃/hであってよいが、好ましくは100~200℃/hである、より好ましくは100~150℃/hである。水熱処理の時間はLDH含有セパレータ層の目的とする密度と厚さに応じて適宜決定すればよい。
(1)多孔質基材の作製
ベーマイト(サソール社製、DISPAL 18N4-80)、メチルセルロース、及びイオン交換水を、(ベーマイト):(メチルセルロース):(イオン交換水)の質量比が10:1:5となるように秤量した後、混練した。得られた混練物を、ハンドプレスを用いた押出成形に付し、5cm×8cmを十分に超える大きさで且つ厚さ0.5cmの板状に成形した。得られた成形体を80℃で12時間乾燥した後、1150℃で3時間焼成して、アルミナ製多孔質基材を得た。こうして得られた多孔質基材を5cm×8cmの大きさに切断加工した。
得られた多孔質基材をアセトン中で5分間超音波洗浄し、エタノール中で2分間超音波洗浄、その後、イオン交換水中で1分間超音波洗浄した。
原料として、硝酸マグネシウム六水和物(Mg(NO3)2・6H2O、関東化学株式会社製)、硝酸アルミニウム九水和物(Al(NO3)3・9H2O、関東化学株式会社製)、及び尿素((NH2)2CO、シグマアルドリッチ製)を用意した。カチオン比(Mg2+/Al3+)が2となり且つ全金属イオンモル濃度(Mg2++Al3+)が0.320mol/Lとなるように、硝酸マグネシウム六水和物と硝酸アルミニウム九水和物を秤量してビーカーに入れ、そこにイオン交換水を加えて全量を75mlとした。得られた溶液を攪拌した後、溶液中に尿素/NO3 -=4の割合で秤量した尿素を加え、更に攪拌して原料水溶液を得た。
テフロン(登録商標)製密閉容器(内容量100ml、外側がステンレス製ジャケット)に上記(3)で作製した原料水溶液と上記(2)で洗浄した多孔質基材を共に封入した。このとき、基材はテフロン(登録商標)製密閉容器の底から浮かせて固定し、基材両面に溶液が接するように水平に設置した。その後、水熱温度70℃で168時間(7日間)水熱処理を施すことにより基材表面に層状複水酸化物配向膜(セパレータ層)の形成を行った。所定時間の経過後、基材を密閉容器から取り出し、イオン交換水で洗浄し、70℃で10時間乾燥させて、層状複水酸化物(以下、LDHという)の緻密膜(以下、膜試料という)を基材上に得た。得られた膜試料の厚さは約1.5μmであった。こうして、層状複水酸化物含有複合材料試料(以下、複合材料試料という)を得た。なお、LDH膜は多孔質基材の両面に形成されていたが、セパレータとして形態を複合材料に付与するため、多孔質基材の片面のLDH膜を機械的に削り取った。
(5a)膜試料の同定
X線回折装置(リガク社製 RINT TTR III)にて、電圧:50kV、電流値:300mA、測定範囲:10~70°の測定条件で、膜試料の結晶相を測定したところ、図8に示されるXRDプロファイルが得られた。得られたXRDプロファイルについて、JCPDSカードNO.35-0964に記載される層状複水酸化物(ハイドロタルサイト類化合物)の回折ピークを用いて同定した。その結果、膜試料は層状複水酸化物(LDH、ハイドロタルサイト類化合物)であることが確認された。なお、図8に示されるXRDプロファイルにおいては、膜試料が形成されている多孔質基材を構成するアルミナに起因するピーク(図中で○印が付されたピーク)も併せて観察されている。
膜試料の表面微構造を走査型電子顕微鏡(SEM、JSM-6610LV、JEOL社製)を用いて10~20kVの加速電圧で観察した。得られた膜試料の表面微構造のSEM画像(二次電子像)を図9に示す。
膜試料について、画像処理を用いた手法により、膜の表面の気孔率を測定した。この気孔率の測定は、1)表面微構造を走査型電子顕微鏡(SEM、JSM-6610LV、JEOL社製)を用いて10~20kVの加速電圧で観察して膜の表面の電子顕微鏡(SEM)画像(倍率10000倍以上)を取得し、2)Photoshop(Adobe社製)等の画像解析ソフトを用いてグレースケールのSEM画像を読み込み、3)[イメージ]→[色調補正]→[2階調化]の手順でヒストグラムのしきい値を調整して白黒の2値画像を作成し、4)黒い部分が占めるピクセル数を画像の全ピクセル数で割った値を気孔率(%)とすることにより行った。この気孔率の測定は配向膜表面の6μm×6μmの領域について行われた。その結果、膜の表面の気孔率は19.0%であった。また、この膜表面の気孔率を用いて、膜表面から見たときの密度D(以下、表面膜密度という)をD=100%-(膜表面の気孔率)により算出したところ、81.0%であった。
膜試料が透水性を有しない程の緻密性を有することを確認すべく、緻密性判定試験を以下のとおり行った。まず、図11Aに示されるように、上記(1)において得られた複合材料試料120(1cm×1cm平方に切り出されたもの)の膜試料側に、中央に0.5cm×0.5cm平方の開口部122aを備えたシリコンゴム122を接着し、得られた積層物を2つのアクリル製容器124,126で挟んで接着した。シリコンゴム122側に配置されるアクリル製容器124は底が抜けており、それによりシリコンゴム122はその開口部122aが開放された状態でアクリル製容器124と接着される。一方、複合材料試料120の多孔質基材側に配置されるアクリル製容器126は底を有しており、その容器126内にはイオン交換水128が入っている。この時、イオン交換水にAl及び/又はMgを溶解させておいてもよい。すなわち、組み立て後に上下逆さにすることで、複合材料試料120の多孔質基材側にイオン交換水128が接するように各構成部材が配置されてなる。これらの構成部材等を組み立て後、総重量を測定した。なお、容器126には閉栓された通気穴(図示せず)が形成されており、上下逆さにした後に開栓されることはいうまでもない。図11Bに示されるように組み立て体を上下逆さに配置して25℃で1週間保持した後、総重量を再度測定した。このとき、アクリル製容器124の内側側面に水滴が付着している場合には、その水滴を拭き取った。そして、試験前後の総重量の差を算出することにより緻密度を判定した。その結果、25℃で1週間保持した後においても、イオン交換水の重量に変化は見られなかった。このことから、膜試料(すなわち機能膜)は透水性を有しない程に高い緻密性を有することが確認された。
膜試料が通気性を有しない程の緻密性を有することを確認すべく、緻密性判定試験を以下のとおり行った。まず、図12A及び12Bに示されるように、蓋の無いアクリル容器130と、このアクリル容器130の蓋として機能しうる形状及びサイズのアルミナ治具132とを用意した。アクリル容器130にはその中にガスを供給するためのガス供給口130aが形成されている。また、アルミナ治具132には直径5mmの開口部132aが形成されており、この開口部132aの外周に沿って膜試料載置用の窪み132bが形成されてなる。アルミナ治具132の窪み132bにエポキシ接着剤134を塗布し、この窪み132bに複合材料試料136の膜試料136b側を載置してアルミナ治具132に気密かつ液密に接着させた。そして、複合材料試料136が接合されたアルミナ治具132を、アクリル容器130の開放部を完全に塞ぐようにシリコーン接着剤138を用いて気密かつ液密にアクリル容器130の上端に接着させて、測定用密閉容器140を得た。この測定用密閉容器140を水槽142に入れ、アクリル容器130のガス供給口130aを圧力計144及び流量計146に接続して、ヘリウムガスをアクリル容器130内に供給可能に構成した。水槽142に水143を入れて測定用密閉容器140を完全に水没させた。このとき、測定用密閉容器140の内部は気密性及び液密性が十分に確保されており、複合材料試料136の膜試料136b側が測定用密閉容器140の内部空間に露出する一方、複合材料試料136の多孔質基材136a側が水槽142内の水に接触している。この状態で、アクリル容器130内にガス供給口130aを介してヘリウムガスを測定用密閉容器140内に導入した。圧力計144及び流量計146を制御して膜試料136b内外の差圧が0.5atmとなる(すなわちヘリウムガスに接する側に加わる圧力が反対側に加わる水圧よりも0.5atm高くなる)ようにして、複合材料試料136から水中にヘリウムガスの泡が発生するか否かを観察した。その結果、ヘリウムガスに起因する泡の発生は観察されなかった。よって、膜試料136bは通気性を有しない程に高い緻密性を有することが確認された。
以下に示される接着剤A~Lの各々について、セラミックスとの接着性及び各種樹脂との接着性の評価を行った。

例2において良好な評価が得られた接着剤A~D及びF~Lの各々について、耐アルカリ性の評価を行った。具体的には、接着剤の塊(乾燥固化物)を25℃又は50℃の9mol/lのKOH溶液中で1か月(672時間)保存した後、取り出して重量の変化と外観変化(色と表面状態)を確認した。外観変化については、色と表面状態に変化が見られなかったものを「A」と、色と表面状態に僅かに変化が見られたものを「B」と、色と表面状態に顕著な変化が見られたものを「C」と評価した。また、これらの25℃及び50℃の両温度について行われた外観変化の評価結果を基に、総合評価を優れているものから順にAA、A、B及びC(すなわちAAが最も優れ、Cが最も劣る)と格付けすることにより行った。結果は表2に示されるとおりであった。
(1)多孔質基材付きセパレータの用意
例1と同様の手順により、多孔質基材付きセパレータとして、アルミナ基材上LDH膜(サイズ:5cm×8cm)を用意した。
亜鉛及びコバルトを固溶体となるように添加した水酸化ニッケル粒子を用意した。この水酸化ニッケル粒子を水酸化コバルトで被覆して正極活物質を得た。得られた正極活物質と、カルボキシメチルセルロースの2%水溶液とを混合してペーストを調製した。正極活物質の多孔度が50%となるように、多孔度が約95%のニッケル金属多孔質基板からなる集電体に上記得られたペーストを均一に塗布して乾燥し、活物質部分が5cm×5cmの領域にわたって塗工された正極板を得た。このとき、4Ah相当の水酸化ニッケル粒子が活物質中に含まれるように塗工量を調整した。
銅パンチングメタルからなる集電体上に、酸化亜鉛粉末80重量部、亜鉛粉末20重量部及びポリテトラフルオロエチレン粒子3重量部からなる混合物を塗布して、多孔度約50%で、活物質部分が5cm×5cmの領域にわたって塗工された負極板を得た。このとき、正極板容量の4Ah相当の酸化亜鉛粉末が活物質中に含まれるように塗工量を調整した。
上記得られた正極板、負極板、及び多孔質基材付きセパレータを用いて、図1に示されるようなニッケル亜鉛電池を以下のような手順で組み立てた。
作製したニッケル亜鉛電池に対して、設計容量4Ahの0.1C相当の0.4mAの電流で10時間定電流充電を実施した。充電後、ケースの変形や電解液の漏れは観察されなかった。充電後の電解液量を観察したところ、正極室の電解液の液面高さはケース底より約7.5cm、負極室の電解液の液面高さはケース底より約5.2cmであった。充電により、正極室電解液が増加し、負極室電解液が減少したものの、負極活物質塗工部分には十分な電解液があり、充放電を通して、塗工した正極活物質及び負極活物質が、十分な充放電反応を起こす電解液をケース内に保持できていた。多孔質基材付きセパレータはABS樹脂製の直方体ケース本体に良好な接着状態で接合が保持されていた。
(1)多孔質基材付きセパレータの用意
例1と同様の手順により、多孔質基材付きセパレータ(以下、単にセパレータという)として、アルミナ基材上LDH膜を用意した。
空気極触媒としてのα-MnO2粒子を次のようにして作製した。まず、Mn(SO4)・5H2O及びKMnO4を5:13のモル比で脱イオン水に溶かして混合した。得られた混合液をテフロン(登録商標)が内貼りされたステンレス製密閉容器に入れ、140℃で水熱合成を2時間行う。水熱合成により得られた沈殿物をろ過し、蒸留水で洗浄した後、80℃で6時間乾燥した。こうしてα-MnO2の粉末を得た。
アニオン交換膜(アストム社、ネオセプタAHA)を1MのNaOH水溶液に一晩浸漬させた。このアニオン交換膜をセパレータのLDH膜上に中間層として積層して、セパレータ/中間層積層体を得る。中間層の厚さは30μmである。得られたセパレータ/中間層積層体に、先に作製した空気極層/集電体の積層シートを、空気極層側が中間層と接するように圧着して、セパレータ付き空気極試料を得る。
銅パンチングメタルからなる集電体上に、酸化亜鉛粉末80重量部、亜鉛粉末20重量部及びポリテトラフルオロエチレン粒子3重量部からなる混合物を塗布して、多孔度約50%で活物質部分が塗工された負極板を得る。
ニッケルメッシュからなる集電体上に白金ペーストを塗布して、第三電極を得る。
上記得られたセパレータ付き空気極、負極板、及び第三電極を用いて、図3Aに示されるような横型構造の亜鉛空気二次電池を以下のような手順で作製する。まず、ABS樹脂製で直方体形状を有する蓋の無い容器(以下、樹脂容器という)を用意する。この樹脂容器の底に負極板を、負極活物質が塗工された側が上を向くように載置する。このとき、負極集電体が樹脂容器の底部に接しており、負極集電体の端部が樹脂容器側面に貫通して設けられる外部端子と接続する。次に、樹脂容器内壁の負極板の上面よりも高い位置に(すなわち負極板と接触せず充放電反応に関与しない位置)に第三電極を設け、不織布セパレータを第三電極と接触するように配置する。樹脂容器の開口部をセパレータ付き空気極で空気極側が外側になるように塞ぎ、その際、開口部の外周部分にエポキシ樹脂系接着剤(セメダイン社製、EP008)を塗工して気密性及び液密性を与えるように封止して接着する。樹脂容器の上端近傍に設けられた小さな注入口を介して樹脂容器内に6mol/LのKOH水溶液を電解液として注入する。こうして、セパレータが電解液と接触するとともに、不織布セパレータの保液性により電解液の増減に関わらず電解液が第三電極に常時接触可能な状態とされる。このとき、注入する電解液の量は、放電末状態で電池を作製すべく、樹脂容器内で負極活物質塗工部分が十分に隠れるだけでなく、充電時に減少することが見込まれる水分量を考慮した過剰量とする。したがって、樹脂容器は上記過剰量の電解液を収容できるように設計されている。最後に、樹脂容器の注入口を封止する。こうして樹脂容器及びセパレータで区画された内部空間は気密且つ液密に密閉されている。最後に第三電極と空気極の集電層とを外部回路を介して接続する。こうして本発明の亜鉛空気二次電池を得る。
