Abstract

PURPOSE:To upgrade the utilization factor of an active material by using a porous substrate having pores of specified sizes, and filling the pores with the mixture of active material powder comprising nickel hydroxide powder as the principal component and at least a kind of powder of CoO, alpha-Co(OH)2, or beta-Co(OH)2. CONSTITUTION:Pore sizes of a porous substrate are 10 to 100mum; the pores are filled with active material powder comprising nickel hydroxide powder as the principal component and at least a kind of powder of CoO, alpha-Co(OH)2, or beta-Co(OH)2 of 5 to 30 wt%. An aqueous solution comprising water and carboxymethylcellulose etc is added to active materal powder obtained by mixing nickel hydroxide and CoO powder having the mean particle size of 5mum to prepare slurry. The slurry is filled into a receptacle of an expanded metal, and dried, then the expanded metal filled with active material is pressed with rollers to adjust the thickness, and to obtain a nickel electrode. If the pore size of the substrate is less than 10mum, filling up of the active material is difficult and the product cannot be used as an electrode.

It is possible to fill the active material into the sintered electrode plate, and the method of filling the active material in the sintered electrode plate is a solution impregnation method that repeats the process of fA ship, which is expensive, but it is inexpensive because it does not require man-hours. This is due to the fact that

However, these paste-type electrode plates use alkali-resistant gold as the conductive core. The use of sintered fibers caused various manufacturing problems and made the electrode plate performance unstable. One of these is that metal fiber sintered bodies have variations in the thickness of the sintered bodies due to variations in the distribution of gold and am fibers, which causes variations in the amount of active material filled, making it difficult to obtain uniform electrode characteristics. I was at a loss. Also, when filling the active material, a sintered fiber body is used as the core, so the tensile strength of the core is weak, so the regulation of the filled active material must be done with a roller, making it impossible to regulate uniform f. Furthermore, since the tensile force was weak, the production speed was limited to 300 m7m at most.

At least one of (OH)2 rβ-Co(OH)2 powder
This is an alkaline 1i Ikegawa nickel electrode characterized in that it is filled with an active material powder containing 5 to 50 wt% of a mixture of at least one species. Paste-type nickel plates have a significantly lower utilization rate than sintered nickel plates. The reason for this is that the conductive path between the current collector and the active material is long, and the active material cannot be sufficiently discharged. Of CoO and cobalt hydroxide, especially a-
Divalent cobalt compounds such as co(OH)z and β-Co(OH)2 that are easily soluble in alkali <H(3002-) can be mixed with a compound that generates ions to give 0oO to the active material.
The paste-type electrode plate is coated with an OH conductive film, and the active material utilization rate is improved to the same degree as that of the furnace-bonded electrode plate.
