    摘要: A metal hydride alkaline storage cell of the present invention comprises a positive electrode, a separator impregnated with an electrolyte, and a negative electrode comprising hydrogen-absorbing alloy powder. On the surface of the hydrogen-absorbing alloy powder, there is formed a layer of hydrogen-absorbing alloy oxide, and on the layer of the oxide, there is dotted a catalytic metal formed in a granular state by adding a substance soluble in the electrolyte. The substance is selected from the group consisting of a metal fluoride, a metal iodide, and a metal sulfide. The proportion of the metal fluoride, the metal iodide, or the metal sulfide in adding is restricted within the range of from 0.1 to 2.5 wt. % based on the weight of hydrogen-absorbing alloy powder. When the layer of the hydrogen-absorbing alloy oxide is formed on the surface of the hydrogen-absorbing alloy powder, the reaction area on the surface of the hydrogen-absorbing alloy is increased due to the roughness of the layer. Consequently, the catalytic action of the metal is fully utilized by dotting a catalytic metal on the alloy surface, and thereby the inner pressure characteristic high-rate charge characteristic) of a cell is improved.

    摘要: Molded bodies of a hydrogen absorbing alloy accommodated in a hydrogen storage container are made readily replaceable to ensure stabilized supply of hydrogen gas. When exhibiting an impaired hydrogen absorbing-desorbing capacity, the molded bodies can be easily replaced by new molded bodies, whereby a specified hydrogen absorbing-desorbing capacity can be maintained. The hydrogen gas released from the storage container is partly utilized to heat the container and thereby maintain the alloy at a predetermined temperature, consequently assuring a device, such as a fuel cell, of stabilized supply of hydrogen from the container.

    摘要: The present electrode is fabricated by coating a conductive substrate with a paste including a hydrogen-absorbing alloy, a binder and a carbon material and sintering the conductive substrate coated with the paste under vacuum or in an atmosphere of a non-oxidizing gas. In this electrode, the carbon material works as a reducing agent so as to suppress oxidation of the hydrogen-absorbing alloy during the sintering, and therefore, the electrode exhibits large oxygen absorbing power in over-charge. Furthermore, the present battery uses, as a negative electrode, the sintered hydrogen-absorbing alloy electrode exhibiting large oxygen absorbing power in over-charge, and hence attains high reliability because increase of the pressure within the battery is minimal.

    摘要: A hydrogen-absorbing alloy electrode utilizes as an electrode material a hydrogen-absorbing alloy having selectively oriented crystals, which is expressed in terms of a specific maximum value obtained from analysis of powder X-ray diffractometry. This electrode, in which the hydrogen-absorbing alloy used is hardly pulverized upon repeated charge-discharge cycles and oxidation thereof is suppressed, gives metal hydride alkaline secondary batteries having excellent cycle characteristics. A method for evaluating hydogen-absorbing alloys for electrode comprises, utilizing the fact that there exists a clear relationship between specific parameters obtained by analyzing data based on the hydrogen-absorbing alloy to be evaluated and the characteristics of the electrode obtained therefrom, preparing and using analytical curves with the specific parameters. This method can evaluate rapidly and precisely various characteristics of hydrogen-absorbing alloys for electrode, without actually fabricating test cells therefrom.
