Abstract:
A battery includes a case and an electrode group disposed in the case and formed by winding electrodes. Lengths of the electrodes in a direction of a winding axis of the electrode group are smaller than a length of a housing space in the case in the direction of the winding axis of the electrode group. The electrode group is formed by helically winding the electrodes.
Abstract:
There is provided an energy storage device including: an electrode body; a lid portion; and a case main body having a body portion in a shape of a container which is open on one end side and for housing the electrode body inside itself and a sealing portion for surrounding and retaining the lid portion from an outer periphery on the opening side of the body portion, wherein an outside diameter of the sealing portion is smaller than an outside diameter of the body portion.
Abstract:
An electrode plate is configured by applying an active material onto a base member formed of a punching steel plate, the electrode plate being wound via a separator together with an electrode plate, which has a different polarity, and having an outermost peripheral portion positioned at the outermost periphery of an electrode assembly. The rate of hole area of the base member at a different electrode overlapping portion, which radially inwardly overlaps on a winding terminal end of the electrode plate having the different polarity, is smaller than that of the base member at the outermost peripheral portion.
Abstract:
An alkaline storage battery includes a spiral electrode group with a positive plate and a negative plate spirally wound with a separator interposed therebetween. The separator includes a plurality of sulfone group-containing regions. The plurality of sulfone group-containing regions are separated from one another in a winding direction, and disposed to face the positive plate or the negative plate.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides a hydrogen storing alloy and a production method thereof. The hydrogen storing alloy has a chemical composition of a general formula R(1-x)MgxNiy, wherein R is one or more elements selected from rare earth elements comprising Y, x satisfies 0.05≦x≦0.3, and y satisfies 2.8≦y≦3.8. The ratio of the maximal peak intensity present in a range of 2θ=31°-33° to the maximal peak intensity present in a range of 2θ=41°-44° is 0.1 or less (including 0), as measured by X-ray diffraction in which a Cu-Kα ray is set as an X-ray source.
Abstract:
An energy storage device including: a cylindrical case having at least one end closed; and an electrode assembly housed in the case. A reduced-diameter portion, at which an outer diameter of the case is reduced, is formed at the closed end of the case.
Abstract:
A nickel hydroxide for an alkaline secondary battery, wherein the nickel hydroxide contains α-nickel hydroxide particles and β-nickel hydroxide particles, and the ratio of the β-nickel hydroxide to the total amount of the nickel hydroxide is less than 75% by mass.
