This invention relates to an improvement in the manufacturing method of alkaline batteries, and aims to improve leakage resistance. Generally, when sealing a battery, a gasket made of synthetic resin such as polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, or rubber is placed in the opening of the anode can, and the gasket is attached to the cathode terminal plate or the opening of the anode can by tightening the opening edge of the anode can inward. By pressing against a cathode current collector such as a cathode lead body, the contact surfaces between the anode can, the gasket, and the cathode current collector are brought into close contact with each other, thereby preventing electrolyte from leaking from these contact surfaces. However, batteries that use alkaline electrolytes such as caustic potash tend to have low leakage resistance despite the sealing methods described above, and for this reason, until now, the shape of the cathode terminal plate has been modified to improve leakage resistance. Many proposals have been made, such as improving the shape or interposing a liquid packing material such as asphalt pitch, fatty polyamide, or fluorine-based oil on the interface between the gasket, anode can, and cathode current collector. Even with these methods, a high degree of leakage resistance is not necessarily achieved. By the way, electrolyte leakage in alkaline batteries is generally more likely to occur from the contact surface between the cathode current collector and the gasket than from the contact surface between the anode can and the gasket. The reason for this is that most of the alkaline electrolyte is injected into the cathode side in order to improve discharge characteristics, but it is thought to be mainly due to the electrochemical creep phenomenon unique to the cathode current collector. There is. In other words, the electrolyte is electrochemically reduced at the rising edge from the cathode agent layer in the cathode current collector, that is, at the boundary where the contact between the current collector and the cathode agent layer is broken.
When OH - ions are generated, the alkali concentration locally increases and moves to the above-mentioned rising portion, which appears as a creep phenomenon that creeps up over time along the surface of the cathode current collector. In addition, the cathode current collector is typically made of copper at least on the side that contacts the catholyte to prevent the formation of local batteries with amalgamated zinc powder, which is common as the cathode active material. Alternatively, it is made of a copper alloy, but the relatively large potential difference between this metal and the active material zinc is also a cause of the above-mentioned electrochemical creep phenomenon. Therefore, at least the surface of the copper or copper alloy surface of the cathode current collector that is in pressure contact with the gasket is provided with a film for preventing electrolyte leakage, such as a film containing a benzotriazole compound as a main component. This invention further improves the leakage resistance of the film by polishing and smoothing or activating at least the copper or copper alloy surface of the cathode current collector in contact with the gasket before forming the film. From the perspective of trying to improve the polishing method, we have conducted repeated research on the polishing method and the chemicals used for it, and have tried to achieve that goal. That is, the present invention provides a method for producing an alkaline battery, which comprises chemically polishing at least the copper or copper alloy surface of the cathode current collector in contact with the gasket with an acidic sulfuric acid aqueous solution containing 0.5 to 25% by weight of hydrogen peroxide. Regarding. Next, the present invention will be explained based on the drawings. FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional view showing an example of a button-type alkaline battery according to the present invention, in which numeral 1 shows positive electrode active materials such as ferrous oxide, manganese dioxide, ferrous oxide, mercury oxide, nickel oxide, etc., and carbon An anode mixture containing a conductive additive such as black or phosphor graphite and partially impregnated with an alkaline electrolyte; 2 is an anode mixture 1 and a metal annular pedestal 3 fixed to its periphery; is a separator that comes into contact with
The separator 2 is a stack of, for example, a hydrophilically treated microporous polypropylene film, cellophane, and vinylon-rayon mixed paper. 4
is a cathode material containing an amalgamated zinc active material and a gelling dispersant such as sodium polyacrylate or carboxymethyl cellulose, into which most of the alkaline electrolyte is injected. Reference numeral 5 denotes an anode can formed from a nickel-plated iron plate, and this anode can 5 is filled with an anode mixture 1 and a separator 2, as well as a cathode current collector in which a cathode agent 4 is filled in the opening of the can. The cathode terminal plate 6 is fitted with an annular gasket 7 having an L-shaped cross section made of various resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, or rubber, and
The opening edge of the anode can 5 is tightened inward to form a sealed structure inside the battery. As shown in FIG. 2, the cathode terminal plate 6 has a nickel layer 9 on the outer surface of a steel plate 8 that satisfies aesthetics and corrosion resistance, and a zinc active material on the inner surface to prevent the formation of local batteries. It is usually formed by drawing a clad plate made of a steel plate 8, a nickel layer 9, and a copper layer 10 into a shape having a peripheral folded portion 11. On the surface of the copper layer 10 of the cathode terminal plate 6, a film 12 for preventing electrolyte leakage, such as a film containing a benzotriazole compound as a main component, is formed. Regarding leakage of electrolyte in a button type battery, as is clear from the above description, the copper layer 10 of the cathode terminal plate 6 and the annular gasket 7
The contact surface 13 with the contact surface 13 is particularly important, and a substantial effect can be achieved as long as the film 12 is formed on the contact surface 13 and its vicinity. It is shown in a state where it is formed only in the vicinity. When forming this film 12, the copper layer 10 of the anode terminal plate 6 is
The surface is chemically polished with a sulfuric acid aqueous solution containing 0.5-25% by weight of hydrogen peroxide. The reason why a hydrogen peroxide-sulfuric acid-based polishing solution is used during chemical polishing is because among the oxides generated on the surface of the copper layer 10, cupric oxide can be removed with sulfuric acid, but cuprous oxide cannot be removed with sulfuric acid. So, it is based on oxidizing cuprous oxide to cupric oxide with hydrogen peroxide and removing it with sulfuric acid. The hydrogen peroxide concentration in the polishing liquid is 0.5 to 25.0% by weight, preferably 1.5 to 12.5% by weight. In other words, when the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is lower than the above range of 0.5% by weight, the oxide film formed on the surface of the copper layer 10 cannot be removed sufficiently even if the polishing time is increased, especially when the amount of the oxide film is large. This situation is remarkable. This is thought to be due to the fact that hydrogen peroxide is consumed by removing the oxide film and that hydrogen peroxide itself is easily decomposed by light and impurities. On the other hand, when the content is higher than the above range of 25.0% by weight, the oxide film formed on the surface of the copper layer 10 and hydrogen peroxide react rapidly, and the surface of the copper layer becomes rough. For these reasons, it is necessary to regulate the hydrogen peroxide concentration within the range of 0.5 to 25.0% by weight, and if the concentration is outside this range, leakage resistance will deteriorate. Removal of copper with sulfuric acid can be performed separately after oxidation with hydrogen peroxide, so the sulfuric acid in the polishing solution only needs to be acidic and stabilize the hydrogen peroxide, and its concentration is not particularly limited. do not have. Usually, the concentration of sulfuric acid in this polishing liquid is 3 to 4% by weight, but it is not limited to this range. During chemical polishing, the temperature of the polishing solution is usually
A range of 30-60°C is adopted. More specifically, when the object to be polished is copper, it is 40 to 60℃, especially 48 to 55℃.
is preferably in the range of 30 to 50 in the case of brass, which is an alloy of copper and zinc, as in the cylindrical battery described below.
℃, especially in the range of 40 to 45℃ is preferred. This is because brass dissolves zinc, etc., so it is 10% lower than copper.
This is because it is preferable to lower the temperature by about ℃. Note that if the temperature of the polishing liquid exceeds 60°C, hydrogen peroxide will decompose and the polishing liquid will boil, so special care must be taken. The time for chemical polishing varies depending on the concentration and temperature of the polishing liquid, but is usually about 30 seconds to 5 minutes, preferably about 1 minute. For example, when the cathode terminal plate 6 is chemically polished with a polishing solution consisting of an aqueous solution containing 11.5% by weight of hydrogen peroxide and 4% by weight of sulfuric acid, the surface roughness (center line average roughness according to JIS B 0601, hereinafter the same) will be 7 to 10μ. Polishing for about 1 minute reduces the surface roughness of 1 to 3 microns. Since the thickness of the copper layer 10 varies from 20 to 50μ depending on the size of the cathode terminal plate 6, the degree of polishing can be changed depending on the type of the cathode terminal plate 6.
When the thickness of the copper layer 10 is 50μ, it is about 5μ, and when the thickness of the copper layer 10 is 20μ, it is about 2.5μ. The film formed on the copper or copper alloy surface after polishing to prevent electrolyte leakage includes fluororesin film,
Various coatings such as polyamide resin coatings and silicone resin coatings may be mentioned, but those containing a benzotriazole compound as a main component are particularly preferred. Examples of benzotriazole compounds include benzotriazole or its derivatives, and examples of benzotriazole derivatives include the general formula () (wherein R is an alkyl group or a halogen)
Typical examples include methylbenzotriazole, chlorobenzotriazole, and the like. And, the main ingredient is a benzotriazole compound.
As the name suggests, it includes not only cases in which a benzotriazole compound is the main component and a nonionic surfactant is added thereto, but also cases in which only a benzotriazole compound is used. The reason why a film mainly composed of a benzotriazole compound is excellent as a film for preventing electrolyte leakage is that the benzotriazole compound has strong activity against copper and chemically bonds strongly with copper. This is based on the fact that the benzotriazole compound has a rust-preventing function and prevents the formation of an oxide film on the surface of copper or copper alloy before or after battery assembly. CB Bright (trade name) is a drug containing benzotriazole compounds as the main ingredient, manufactured by Hisoe Chemical Co., Ltd.
More commercially available. Further, a liquid packing material such as asphalt pitch, fatty polyamide, or fluorine-based oil is interposed between the contact surface between the annular gasket 7 and the anode can 5 and between the annular gasket 7 and the film 12. This is because leakage of the electrolyte due to creep on the surface of the cathode current collector can be prevented by the coating 12, such as one containing the benzotriazole compound as the main component, but between the coating 12 and the gasket 7. Since there is a possibility that the electrolyte may leak from between the gasket 7 and the anode can 5, a liquid packing material is interposed between the film 12 and the gasket 7 and between the gasket 7 and the anode can 5. The fine gaps that occur between the film 12 and the gasket 7 and between the gasket 7 and the anode can 5 are filled with a liquid packing material, and the gaps between the film 12 and the gasket 7 and between the gasket 7 and the anode can 5 are filled with a liquid packing material. This is because it is preferable to prevent leakage of the electrolyte. The liquid packing material used for this purpose is capable of filling minute gaps between the film 12 and the gasket 7 and between the gasket 7 and the anode can 5, and has alkali resistance and water repellency. For example, the above-mentioned asphalt pitch, fluorine oil, fatty polyamide, etc. can be used. Table 1 below shows SR44 button type batteries manufactured using cathode terminal plates on which a film containing benzotriazole as the main component was formed after chemical polishing using polishing liquids with various concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. This figure shows the results of an investigation of leakage resistance. The sulfuric acid concentration of the polishing solution is 4% by weight, the polishing solution is heated to 50 to 60°C during polishing, and the cathode terminal plate is immersed in the polishing solution for 1 minute in each case. . In each battery, a liquid packing material made of asphalt pitch was interposed between the contact surface between the gasket 7 and the anode can 5 and between the gasket 7 and the film 12. The test results show that 20 of each battery were placed in an atmosphere of 60℃ and 90% relative humidity.
It is indicated by the number of batteries that leaked when stored for 20 days.

[Table] Although the present invention has been explained above using a button-type battery as an example, the present invention is also applicable to a cylindrical alkaline battery. In the case of cylindrical alkaline batteries, the contact surface between the cathode lead body as a cathode current collector and the gasket is also important in terms of electrolyte leakage. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the film 12 for preventing electrolyte leakage is formed on the contact surface 1 between the cathode lead body 14, which is an alloy of copper and zinc, and the gasket 7.
Formed in 3. When forming the film 12, the cathode lead body 14 was previously coated with 0.5 to 25% hydrogen peroxide, similar to the cathode terminal plate 6 in the button type battery.
Polished with an acidic aqueous solution of sulfuric acid containing % by weight. In the figure, 15 is a resin tube, and 16 is an outer can, and those having the same composition or function as those illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 are given the same reference numerals. As detailed above, this invention uses hydrogen peroxide.
The leakage resistance of the alkaline battery is improved by chemically polishing the copper or copper alloy surface of the cathode current collector, at least the surface in contact with the gasket, with an aqueous sulfuric acid solution containing 0.5 to 25% by weight.
