<Conventional technology> Cadmium cathodes used in alkaline storage batteries, such as nickel-cadmium storage batteries, are
Sintering type, paste type, etc. are known. Among these, the sintered cadmium cathode is made by coating a core made of a porous metal plate with nickel slurry, which is a mixture of sintering metal powder such as carbonyl nickel, adhesive such as carboxymethyl cellulose, and water, and then drying it. After that, this is fired to create a porous sintered substrate, this sintered substrate is impregnated in an aqueous cadmium nitrate solution, and then the cadmium nitrate held in the micropores of the sintered substrate is replaced with alkali. It is manufactured through a complicated process of replacing cadmium with cadmium hydroxide using methods such as thermal decomposition and electrolysis. On the other hand, the paste-type cadmium cathode is
As disclosed in Publication No. 35870, an active material mainly composed of cadmium oxide, a reinforcing agent made of synthetic resin fibers such as polyethylene, a binder such as methyl cellulose, etc. are added to the same core as above and kneaded. It is made using an extremely simple process of directly applying the mixed paste and then drying it.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> By the way, as mentioned above, the manufacturing process of the paste-type cadmium cathode is simpler than that of the sintered-type cadmium cathode, so it can be manufactured at a low cost and the cost of the battery can be kept low. On the other hand, if left in an air atmosphere, the active material cadmium oxide absorbs and reacts with moisture, oxygen, and carbon dioxide in the air, resulting in an increase in the weight and thickness of the cathode. However, there is a problem in that the weight efficiency and volumetric efficiency as a cathode decrease.

Furthermore, as a result of the above absorption reaction, the surface of cadmium oxide in the cadmium cathode changes to cadmium hydroxide, resulting in a problem that the charging efficiency of the cadmium cathode decreases. For this reason, in sealed nickel-cadmium storage batteries, etc., due to a decrease in the amount of cathode charge due to a decrease in the charging efficiency of the cadmium cathode,
The difference in charge capacity between the anode and cathode becomes small, resulting in disadvantages such as noticeable deterioration of characteristics during high rate discharge.

In order to prevent the absorption reaction of the cadmium cathode during storage in an air atmosphere as described above, methods such as storage in a vacuum or nitrogen purge (filling with nitrogen after creating a vacuum) are used. This method has the drawbacks of requiring a lot of time and effort, and is not a very practical method.

<Means for Solving the Problems> As a result of research on a method for preserving cadmium cathodes in an air atmosphere, the present inventor found that the above problems can be solved if a specific conductive agent is applied to the surface of a cadmium cathode. After discovering a solution to the problem, we completed this invention. That is, the method of preserving a cadmium cathode for an alkaline storage battery according to the present invention is to prepare a cadmium cathode by applying a kneaded paste made of an active material mainly composed of cadmium oxide and adding a reinforcing agent, a binder, etc. to a core body and drying the paste. The main idea is to apply a conductive agent containing carbon powder and polyvinyl alcohol to the surface of the device and store it in an air atmosphere with a relative humidity of 8% or less.

<Function> The coating film formed on the surface of the cadmium cathode as a result of applying the above-mentioned conductive agent prevents the occurrence of an absorption reaction between water, oxygen, or carbon dioxide in the storage atmosphere and cadmium oxide. It is possible to effectively prevent performance deterioration due to storage of the cadmium cathode. In addition, during storage, the influence of moisture in the air is significant, and when the relative humidity in the air exceeds 8%, the moisture-proofing effect of the coating film described above decreases and the performance deterioration of the cadmium cathode increases. By setting it as a range, effective storage becomes possible. By using this storage method, the cadmium cathode can be stored in an air atmosphere without significant performance deterioration, without the need for conventional storage in a vacuum or nitrogen purge.

<Example> A conductive agent made of carbon powder and polyvinyl alcohol was applied to a thickness of about 10 μm on the surface of a paste-type cadmium cathode made by a known method.
By drying, a cadmium cathode having a coating film of a conductive agent on the surface was manufactured. After making a large number of such cadmium cathodes and storing them for different periods of time in an air atmosphere maintained at a relative humidity of 8% or less, they are combined with a nickel anode made by a known method to create a nickel-cadmium storage battery with a nominal capacity of 1.3AH. Invented battery) was produced. Next, we made nickel cadmium storage batteries (conventional batteries) similar to the above except that the above conductive agent was not applied to the surface of the cadmium cathode, and each of these batteries was operated at C/3 (433 mA).
After charging for 144 minutes, an experiment was conducted in which the battery was discharged at C/3 (433 mA) to examine changes in the charging efficiency of the cadmium cathode over time due to storage. The result is the first
As shown in the figure, A is a battery of the present invention and B is a conventional battery. As is clear from the figure, the cadmium cathode preserved by the method of this invention has a smaller rate of performance deterioration due to storage than the conventional one, and
It can be seen that the same charging efficiency as at the time of manufacture was maintained for more than a week.

In addition, the present invention battery A and the conventional battery B similar to the above
After charging at 0.1C (130mA) for 16 hours, 8C
Figure 2 shows the results of high-rate discharge (10.4A) and investigation of the discharge time. In the figure, the reason that the discharge time of the battery of the present invention is generally longer than that of the conventional battery is thought to be due to the improvement in the conductivity of the cadmium cathode due to the coating of the conductive agent. Also,
It can be seen that even when using a cadmium cathode that has been stored for more than 4 weeks, the battery of the present invention maintains the same discharge time as when using a cadmium cathode that has been stored for a shorter period of time.

Furthermore, in order to investigate the influence of the relative humidity in the air atmosphere during storage, we made a number of cadmium cathodes with a conductive agent coated on their surfaces using the same method as above, and each one was placed in an air atmosphere with a different relative humidity. After storage for 4 weeks, a nickel cadmium storage battery with a nominal capacity of 1.3 AH was produced by combining it with a known nickel anode, and this battery was charged at C/3 (433 mA) for 144 minutes. We investigated the change in charging efficiency of a cadmium cathode when discharging at The results are shown in FIG. 3, and it can be seen that when the relative humidity exceeds 8%, the charging efficiency decreases.
