AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The capacity retention rate of alkaline secondary batteries decreases with repeated charging and discharging when a silicon compound is added to the electrolyte.

Method used

Incorporating siloxane into the electrodes and electrolyte of alkaline secondary batteries, allowing it to undergo phase separation, thereby reducing the dissolution of siloxane into the electrolyte and preventing erosion of the electrode materials.

🎯Benefits of technology

The inclusion of siloxane on the electrode surfaces or in the electrolyte suppresses the decrease in capacity retention rate, maintaining battery performance by preventing electrode erosion and side reactions.

Abstract

This invention provides an alkaline secondary battery that suppresses the decrease in capacity retention rate by using siloxane. [Solution] The alkaline secondary battery comprises a positive electrode having a positive electrode active material, a negative electrode having an alkali metal substrate, a separator and an electrolyte provided between the positive and negative electrodes. The positive electrode comprises a siloxane that covers a portion or more of the positive electrode active material and undergoes phase separation from the electrolyte. In addition to or in lieu of this, the negative electrode may comprise a siloxane that covers a portion or more of the alkali metal substrate and undergoes phase separation from the electrolyte. Furthermore, in addition to or in lieu of these, the electrolyte may contain a siloxane that undergoes phase separation in the electrolyte.
