An alkaline dry battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator, and an alkaline electrolyte. The separator is provided between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and the positive electrode, the negative electrode, and the separator are impregnated with the alkaline electrolyte. A battery depolarizer, which is an organic compound having a function of depolarizing both the positive electrode and the negative electrode or an alkaline metal salt thereof, is added to at least the alkaline electrolyte.

A zinc/air depolarized cell wherein the anode comprises zinc particles, aqueous alkaline electrolyte, and pyrophosphate based (P2O7)4 - additive. The cell may be in the form of a button cell. The addition of a pyrophosphate containing additive to the zinc anode improves the cell's service life regardless of whether the zinc is amalgamated with mercury or contains zero added mercury. The pyrophosphate based on (P2O7) content preferably comprises between about 0.001 and 2 percent by weight of the anode.

An electric cell using aluminum in a negative electrode has a positive electrode (3, 4), the negative electrode (1) containing aluminium or aluminium alloy, and an electrolyte arranged between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The electrolyte includes: at least one ion selected from a group of a sulfate ion (SO 4 2- ) and a nitrate ion (NO 3 - ); and an additive. The additive is selected from an organic acid, a salt of the organic acid, an hydrate of the organic acid, an ester of the organic acid, an ion of the organic acid, and derivatives thereof. Thus, the electric cell of the present invention using aluminum in a negative electrode allows the improvements in the voltage and the capacity of the cell as the generation of gas depending on the self-discharge can be prevented.

摘要:
This invention relates to an alkaline battery in which hydrogen gas evolution and deterioration of battery performance can be prevented by using a collector having an outermost layer coated with zinc or metal having a higher hydrogen overvoltage than that of zinc and adding an inhibitor selected from an indium compound, lead oxide, a hydroxide of alkaline earth metal and polyoxyethylen alkylamide to an electrolyte solution or a negative electrode active material. According to the present invention, it is possible to manufacture an alkaline battery in which evolution of hydrogen can be restrained without involving deterioration of battery performances. Especially, the present invention is effective in a coin type and a button type battery which is sensitive to the evolution of gas and is required to have high performance. Further, the inventive collector which is plated with zinc alloy more than 3 µ m in thickness and used for low drain such as watches can attain a capacity equivalent to or more than that of a battery using amalgamated zinc. Further, watches loaded with the inventive alkaline batteries which are discarded do not pollute the environment, as they do not include mercury to be a pollution material.
摘要:
A non-pollution zinc-alkaline battery excellent in storage stability can be obtained by using, in formulation for negative electrode, a zinc alloy which contains at least one element selected from the group consisting of bismuth, lithium, calcium and aluminum which is free from mercury, lead, cadmium, indium and thallium is used as an active material and yttrium hydroxide or yttrium oxide optimized in a starting material therefor, particle size and weight loss on heat decomposition as an inorganic inhibitor. The storage stability of the battery can be further improved by adding to the above formulation for a negative electrode a proper amount of a surfactant having a polyethylene oxide group in hydrophilic group and a perfluoroalkyl group in oleophilic group as an organic inhibitor.
