摘要:
An alkaline secondary battery which is characterized in that it comprises, a positive electrode containing nickel hydroxide having a value of 0.8null or more in the half-width of a peak in the (101) plane thereof as measured by X-ray powder diffraction (2null) using CunullKnull ray, and 4.0 to 15% by weight of at least one material selected from the group consisting of zinc and zinc compounds, and an alkali electrolyte, the ratio of which to theoretical capacity of the positive electrode being 0.7 to 2.0 cm3/Ah, the weight of the at least one material being one calculated as zinc element and based on the weight of the nickel hydroxide.
摘要:
Provided is a active material for positive electrode for an alkaline secondary cell, which advantageously exhibits improved overdischarge characteristics, improved utilization of the active material and an improved effect of suppressing the rise in cell internal pressure, a method for producing the same, and an alkaline secondary cell using the above active material for positive electrode, especially a nickel-hydrogen secondary cell. The above active material comprises nickel hydroxide particles each having a surface to which a cobalt oxide sticks, wherein the cobalt oxide contains 20 to 40 % by mole of cobalt(II) oxide, wherein the nickel hydroxide particles form an eutectic together with Co and Zn or/and Y, and the Co content of the eutectic is 2 % by mass or less, and the nickel hydroxide particles have a value of a half width of the peak ascribed to the (101) crystal face diffraction of 0.8null/2null(Cu-Knull) or more as measured by powder X-ray diffractometry.
