Further, when the Ca content of the positive electrode current collector is 0.13% by mass or less, corrosion of the positive electrode current collector is further suppressed.

It is inferred that.
  • the progress of decrease of the electrolytic solution is usually slow.
  • the presence of the polymer compound suppresses the decomposition reaction of water in the negative electrode plate, so that the decrease in the electrolytic solution is more gradual.

  • the decomposition reaction of water is greatly affected by the reduction reaction of hydrogen ions at the interface between lead and the electrolytic solution.
  • the water decomposition reaction is reduced because the surface of lead, which is the negative electrode active material, is covered with the polymer compound, which raises the hydrogen overvoltage and causes a side reaction in which hydrogen is generated from protons during overcharging.

  • an aqueous sulfuric acid solution is used as the electrolytic solution. Therefore, when an organic additive (oil, polymer, organic shrink-proofing agent, etc.) is contained in the negative electrode material, it elutes into the electrolytic solution and becomes lead.

  • the electrode plate group of the test battery is composed of five positive electrode plates and six negative electrode plates sandwiching the positive electrode plates.
  • a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate are laminated with a glass fiber non-woven fabric separator interposed therebetween to form a group of electrode plates.
  • a group of electrode plates is housed in a polypropylene electric tank together with an electrolytic solution (sulfuric acid aqueous solution) and chemically formed in the electric tank to prepare a liquid lead-acid battery.

  • the amount of overcharged electricity of the battery R6 in which the negative electrode material contains the polymer compound in the first month is significantly lower than that of the battery R5.
  • the life period is remarkably improved as the Ca content decreases. Comparing the batteries R1 to R4 having a Ca content of 0.13% by mass or less, the life period is increased by 7 months from 11 months to 18 months. Further, by reducing the Sn content as the Ca content decreases, the life period is further extended.
  • the life period is increased by 14 months from 13 months to 27 months. That is, the degree of improvement in the life period is remarkable due to the presence of the polymer compound. More specifically, when comparing the batteries R4 and A7 having a Ca content of 0.13% by mass, there is a difference of 2 months in the life period (11 months for R4, 13 months for A7) depending on the presence or absence of the polymer compound. Can be seen.
  • Table 4 shows that when a polymer compound is used, the amount of corrosion of the positive electrode current collector tends to decrease and the rate of decrease of the electrolytic solution tends to decrease. In addition, based on the results in Tables 1 and 2, it is suggested that the decrease in the reduction rate of the electrolytic solution has a great influence on the battery life. It can be understood that when the polymer compound of the negative electrode material becomes 400 ppm, the accumulation of lead sulfate on the positive electrode plate becomes remarkable. It is understood that this is because the charging current during float charging is lower than the self-discharge rate of the positive electrode material.
  • Table 6 also shows that when a polymer compound is used, the amount of corrosion of the positive electrode current collector tends to decrease and the liquid reduction rate of the electrolytic solution tends to decrease, and the reduction of the liquid reduction rate is particularly remarkable. Is. Based on the results in Tables 1 and 2, it is considered that the reduction in the reduction rate of the electrolytic solution is largely related to the remarkable improvement in the life period when the Ca content is low.
  • the lead-acid battery according to the present invention can be applied to, for example, a control valve type lead-acid battery, and specifically, can be used as a stationary industrial power storage device, a vehicle starting power source, an auxiliary power source, or the like. It should be noted that these uses are merely examples and are not limited to these uses.
