摘要:
A battery electrode substrate which is constituted of a porous metallic body structure having communicating pores at a porosity of at least 90% and an Fe/Ni multilayer structure wherein the skeletal portion of the porous metallic body is composed mainly of Fe and has an Ni covering layer on the surface thereof while pores communicating with the inside and outside of Fe skeletal portion exist in the Fe skeletal portion and the inside of the pores is covered with Ni. The electrode substrate is produced by applying an iron oxide powder of at most 20 µm in an average particle size on a porous resin core body; heat treating the core to remove an organic resin component while simultaneously sintering Fe to obtain a porous Fe body; and then covering the Fe skeletal portion with Ni by electroplating. In this process, the iron oxide can be used in combination with carbon powder. Further, a nickel porous sintered body can also be produced using nickel oxide in place of iron oxide.

An electrode excellent in high-rate discharge characteristics is provided by increasing the adhesive strength of the conductive core material (3) to the sintered nickel porous body which form the sintered type substrate. The electrode of the present invention uses a sintered type substrate containing a part wherein the diameter of the skeleton forming the sintered nickel porous body becomes smaller from the joining interface of the conductive core material toward the substrate surface. The region wherein the skeleton (1) is thicker than in other parts preferably ranges within about 1/5 of the substrate thickness starting from the both surfaces of the core material toward the outsides.

The present invention provides a method of producing a hydrogen storage alloy low in cobalt content which can restrains a decrease in cycle life characteristic and preservation characteristic of an alkaline storage battery when the alloy is used as a negative electrode. The method includes the following steps. An Mm-Ni system hydrogen storage alloy which has a crystal structure of CaCu 5 and contains 15 atom% or less of cobalt is powdered to have an average particle diameter of 10-100 µm. Then, the powdered alloy is immersed in a treatment solution at 80-130°C, the treatment solution comprising an alkaline aqueous solution containing 10 g/l or more of lithium hydroxide and having a specific gravity of 1.1 or higher, and cobalt ions which is contained in the alkaline aqueous solution, thereby forming a layer containing nickel and cobalt in higher concentration than in the bulk of the powdered alloy onto the alloy surface.
