Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the active material utilization rate of an alkaline storage battery and inhibit the reduction of its discharge voltage by depositing a beta-Co(OH)2 film dried in a nonoxidative atmosphere on the surface of the positive active material. CONSTITUTION:A porous metallic base plate packed with a positive active material principally composed of nickel hydroxide is immersed in a sulfuric acid solution containing cobalt sulfate and then treated in an alkali solution before being washed with water. After that, the washed body is dried in a nonoxidative atmosphere to coat the surface of the positive active material with a film of beta-Co(OH)2 which is one of various cobalt compounds, thereby making a positive nickel plate. Although brown-colored cobalt hydroxide Co(OH)2 is produced during usual drying in the atmosphere, drying the washed body in a nonoxidative atmosphere results in deposition of a pale pink beta-Co(OH)2 film on the surface of the positive active material. Owing to the beta-Co(OH)2 film on the positive active material, a battery assembled by using this positive plate has both excellent discharge voltage and an excellent active material utilization rate.
