The invention relates to the technical field of batteries, in particular to a
coating composition for improving leakage resistance, liquid absorption and
discharge performance of a battery and application of the
coating composition. The prepared
coating composition comprises the following raw materials in percentage by
mass: 10%-25% of a
methacrylate-
acrylamide block
copolymer, 10%-15% of
polyvinyl alcohol, 40%-53% of
starch, 1%-5% of an inorganic-organic composite
corrosion inhibitor, 0.5%-2% of a compound surfactant and the balance of water. The invention also provides a preparation method of the coating composition and an application of the coating composition in a
zinc-
manganese dry battery, and the coating composition is used for preparing
coated paper so as to improve the leakage resistance, liquid absorption and
discharge performance of the battery. According to the invention, the
methacrylate monomer is introduced into the traditional
polyacrylamide hydrogel
polymerization process, so that the liquid absorption amount and the liquid
absorption rate are remarkably improved, the leakage resistance of the battery is improved, the liquid absorption amount is doubled, the
discharge time is prolonged by 10%, and the
retention rate reaches 95% or more after the battery is naturally stored for half a year.
