(b) Conventional techniques and problems A method for manufacturing a nickel hydroxide electrode involves immersing a porous sintered nickel substrate in an acidic nickel salt impregnating solution such as nickel nitrate to impregnate the nickel salt into the pores of the substrate. By thoroughly drying the substrate after drying, it is possible to prevent the pores of the substrate from being clogged with the active material and increase the amount of active material filled during the next step of converting it into an active material using alkali treatment. Measures are being taken. In order to increase efficiency, drying after impregnating with nickel salt is preferably carried out at a high temperature.

However, in the presence of nickel metal and nickel hydroxide, nickel nitrate begins to decompose at around 50°C, producing decomposed substances [Ni 2 (NO 3 ) 2 (OH) 2.2H 2 O] and generating nitric acid gas. do. This nitric acid gas corrodes the nickel constituting the substrate, weakening the electrode plates and reducing battery performance, making it difficult to increase the efficiency by increasing the drying temperature.

The purpose of this invention is to obtain a nickel hydroxide electrode which is suppressed, corrosion of the nickel substrate is prevented, and has high strength and a large amount of active material.

In this invention, a porous nickel substrate is immersed in an aqueous solution of water-soluble cobalt salt, then heat-treated in the presence of oxygen gas to coat the substrate with a cobalt oxide layer, and then immersed in an aqueous nickel nitrate solution and dried at 60 to 100°C. The hydroxide for alkaline storage batteries consists of converting nickel nitrate into nickel hydroxide through alkali treatment, washing and drying it to form an active material, and repeating this active material forming process to fill the required amount of nickel hydroxide into the nickel substrate. The present invention provides a method for manufacturing nickel electrodes.

The nickel substrate is then dried and heated in the presence of oxygen gas to convert the cobalt salt to cobalt oxide. In this case, the atmosphere may be air;
Of course, air with increased oxygen gas concentration may also be used. The heating temperature varies slightly depending on the type of cobalt salt, but a range of 150 to 250°C is appropriate for rapid and sufficient conversion to cobalt oxide. If this temperature exceeds 250°C, the nickel on the substrate will oxidize and the conductivity will decrease, which is not preferable.

Next, the above substrate is immersed in a commonly used aqueous nickel nitrate solution, and then dried at 60 to 100°C.
Next, the nickel hydroxide electrode plate according to the present invention is obtained by repeating the usual steps of immersing it in an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution to form an active material, then washing and drying it. If the drying temperature after immersion in the above-mentioned nickel nitrate aqueous solution does not exceed 60°C, drying will be insufficient, and the active material will not enter the pores of the substrate sufficiently, resulting in a small amount of active material filling and a small battery capacity. On the other hand, if the drying temperature exceeds 100°C, nickel nitrate decomposes, and the nickel substrate is eroded by the decomposition product nitric acid.

Figure 1 shows the X-ray diffraction diagram obtained by subjecting the electrode plates to X-ray diffraction after performing the active material filling operation three times in the process of producing the electrode plates in a and b above. . According to Figure 1 , it is clear that the electrode plate a generates less decomposition products [marked with a cross, Ni 2 (NO 3 ) 2 (OH) 2.2H 2 O] than plate b. Since less gas is generated, there is less corrosion of the substrate and the strength of the substrate is high.
