However, one problem in filling the active material using the negative electrolytic method is intensive precipitation of the active material on the substrate surface due to insufficient ion diffusion in the high current density region. When concentrated active material precipitation occurs on the substrate surface, the active material deposited on the substrate surface will fall off during the subsequent chemical conversion process, etc., and the amount of active material deposited and filled will decrease, contributing to improvement of electrode performance.

Even in negative electrolysis using a constant current, the precipitation of the active material on the substrate surface becomes noticeable as the electrolysis time progresses, that is, as the active material precipitation progresses, and reaches a state that can be visually discerned at the end of the electrolysis.

The present invention improves the intensive precipitation of active material on the surface of a porous substrate and efficiently electrolytically fills the entire substrate with active material. One way to do this is to stir the electrolytic solution. Meanwhile, a porous metal substrate is immersed in this and moved continuously to perform negative electrolysis.
The electrolysis current density flowing through the substrate at the start of electrolysis is 1000~
While increasing the electrolytic current density to 120 mA/cm 2 , the electrolytic current density flowing to the substrate attenuates as it moves away from the introduction part of the electrolytic cell as the electrolysis time progresses, so that the electrolytic current density flowing to the substrate at the end of electrolysis is 100 mA/cm 2 or less. It is characterized by

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in comparison with conventional examples. Conventionally, negative electrolysis of nickel electrodes was carried out by supplying power from multiple points on the substrate in the electrolytic cell, and maintaining a constant current density regardless of the position of the substrate. In order to prevent intensive precipitation of , the electrolytic current density was set low, for example, 80 mA/cm 2 from the start of electrolysis. The porous nickel substrate used at this time was 30 mm wide and long.
It was cut into pieces of 100 mm and 0.7 mm thick, and the electrolyte used was a 3 mol/aqueous nickel nitrate solution adjusted to pH 2 to 3 and kept at 80°C. When obtaining a filling theoretical capacity density of 270 mA/cm 2 under these conditions,
Batch electrolysis required treatment at a current density of 80 mA/cm 2 for about one and a half hours.

Note that in this example, in consideration of workability, a continuous method was used for negative electrolysis, in which a strip-shaped substrate was continuously immersed and moved in an electrolytic bath. In Fig. 1, 1 is a counter electrode (anode) during electrolysis, which is made of a nickel plate, etc., 2 is an electrolytic tank containing the electrolyte, and 3 is a porous nickel substrate as a cathode for negative electrolysis, which is powered by a power source 4. The outside of the introduction side of the electrolytic cell 1 is negatively charged. 5

In this way, when the counter electrode 1 consisting of two nickel plates during electrolysis is positively charged by the power source 4, and the nickel substrate 3 is moved by immersing it in the electrolyte between the counter electrodes, the substrate 3 moves away from the power supply. An IR drop occurs as the internal resistance of the substrate increases, and the electrolytic current density is at its maximum at the point where the substrate is introduced into the electrolytic cell. It gradually decreases over time. In this example, the current density flowing through the substrate at the start of electrolysis is set to 150
mA/cm 2 , and the final value was 60 mA/cm 2 . 70 minutes after the start of electrolysis, the same plate capacity density as before was obtained.

Figure 3 shows the relationship between the amount of electrolytic electricity and the amount of active material filled.Compared to A, where the current density is constant regardless of the movement of the substrate, the electrolytic current density flowing through the substrate at the start of electrolysis is maximized. Inventive product B, in which the electrolytic current density in the substrate was gradually attenuated as the electrolytic flow progressed, was able to increase the amount of active material filled by about 10%.

In negative electrolysis, it is preferable that the electrolytic current density of the substrate at the start of electrolysis is 1000 to 120 mA/cm 2 , and the electrolytic current density is attenuated as the electrolysis time elapses to be 100 mA/cm 2 or less at the end of electrolysis. By setting the current density as high as possible at the start of electrolysis, the good conductivity of the core material side of the substrate and the stirring of the electrolyte can be combined, and the active material can be deposited inside the substrate, but a current higher than 1000 mA/cm 2 Density should be avoided because it increases active material precipitation on the substrate surface. Furthermore, if the current density is lower than 120 mA/cm 2 , the electrolysis time cannot be shortened sufficiently.

The current density at the end of electrolysis is closely related to that at the beginning, but is less than 100 mA/cm2, preferably 80 mA/ cm2 or less.
From the viewpoint of workability, it is desirable to complete the electrolysis at ~50 mA/cm 2 .

In this way, by increasing the electrolysis current density of the substrate at the start of electrolysis, the good conductivity of the substrate and the stirring of the electrolyte solution are combined, and the active material can be efficiently deposited inside the substrate. It is possible to suppress adhesion of the active material to.
