Problems solved by technology

However, the preparation of traditional porous metal substrates is expensive, and it is difficult to further improve the existing level of filling rate
[0018] Although porous metal substrates with a lower weight per unit area than conventional metal substrates can be prepared at a relatively low cost, utilization of substrates with a lower weight per unit area reduces current collection efficiency and leads to reduced high-rate discharge performance and Active material utilization
[0019] In addition, when the material mixture slurry is filled into the porous metal substrate with a low weight per unit area in a stripe-like pattern, it facilitates the ingress of the material mixture slurry into the unfilled portion, resulting in a large loss of active material.
When the current collector is welded to the unfilled part that has entered the material mixture, welding defects may be caused due to sparks, etc., reducing the strength of the welded part
Material mixture that has entered the unfilled part can be completely removed, but this treatment is inefficient

example 1

[0112] (i) Active material carrying conductive material on its surface

[0113] Nickel hydroxide solid solution particles used as an active material were prepared by the following known method. Specifically, an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide is added dropwise to another aqueous solution in which nickel sulfate is mainly dissolved and has a predetermined amount of cobalt sulfate and zinc sulfate therein, while ammonia water is used to adjust the concentration of the aqueous solution. PH value, thus precipitated spherical particles of nickel hydroxide solid solution.

[0114] The resulting nickel hydroxide solid solution particles were then washed with water and dried. The obtained particles, hereinafter referred to as core particles, had an average particle size of 10 μm and a specific surface area of ​​12 m 2 / g. It should be noted that the average particle size was measured by a laser diffraction particle size analyzer, and the specific surface area was measured by t...

[0175] The following tests were performed on the positive electrode plates prepared above. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0176] (i) Determine the maximum height of the metal burr formed in the cutting step.

[0177] (ii) 1000 electrode groups were prepared, each electrode group was prepared by spirally winding a positive electrode plate and a known hydrogen storage alloy electrode with a 100 μm thick polypropylene separator in between. During the preparation of each electrode group, the percentage ratio (%) of the weight of the material mixture separated in the spiral winding step to the weight of the positive electrode plate was measured. The average value of 1000 electrode sets is then calculated, which is called the separation rate of the material mixture.

Abstract

The present invention provides an alkaline storage battery including a strip-shaped porous metal substrate and a material mixture filled into the substrate. The substrate has an unfilled portion where the material mixture is not filled along at least one of two longitudinal sides of the substrate. The substrate has a weight per unit area of 150 to 350 g / m2. The material mixture contains an active material and an elastic polymer.

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a positive electrode plate for an alkaline storage battery and a manufacturing method thereof. More specifically, the present invention relates to a positive electrode plate utilizing a porous metal substrate having three-dimensional communicating holes. Background of the invention [0002] Alkaline storage batteries that can be repeatedly charged and discharged have been widely used as power sources for portable devices. In recent years, in particular, nickel metal hydride secondary batteries with high energy density and relative environmental protection have dominated the market, and demand for them has been rapid in fields requiring high power output such as power tools and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) rise. [0003] In a positive electrode plate for an alkaline storage battery, a porous metal substrate is preferably used as a core material because it is easy to fill a material mixture slurry composed of an activ...
