Industrial Application Field The present invention provides a means for suppressing an increase in battery internal pressure due to hydrogen gas generated within the battery in a zinc-alkaline battery that uses zinc as the main active material of the negative electrode and an alkaline aqueous solution as the electrolyte. It is something. Conventional technology In order to suppress the corrosion reaction caused by the electrolyte of the zinc negative electrode of zinc alkaline batteries, and to suppress the self-depletion of zinc and the generation of hydrogen gas during storage of the battery, 5 to 10% of zinc is added.
% of mercury to form an amalgam and use it as a negative electrode is currently adopted as a general method. This prevents the internal pressure of the battery from increasing during storage, ensures leakage resistance and storability, prevents the battery from expanding or bursting, and has become popular as a practical battery with little performance deterioration. However, in recent years, social needs for lower pollution have increased, and research and development is being conducted to reduce the amount of mercury used and to secure the above practical performance without using mercury. Although reduction is possible to some extent, the current situation is that there is no means that can provide a substantial solution. Problems to be solved by the invention For example, using a corrosion-resistant zinc alloy made by adding lead, indium, gallium, etc. to zinc,
%, but it is considered extremely difficult to ensure sufficient corrosion resistance of negative electrode zinc without using much mercury. Therefore,
Another proposal is to store and fix the hydrogen gas generated within the battery using a hydrogen storage alloy built into the battery to prevent the internal pressure of the battery from increasing. However, the current situation is that there is no specific and appropriate method for incorporating the hydrogen storage alloy into the battery without sacrificing the effective internal volume occupied by the power generation elements within the battery. The present invention uses a hydrogen storage alloy to store the hydrogen gas generated in the battery, and electrochemically oxidizes and eliminates the stored hydrogen using a positive electrode active material. It is an object of the present invention to provide a specific means for suppressing an increase in internal pressure and to obtain a low-pollution battery that comprehensively has the above-mentioned practical performance. Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a zinc-alkaline battery that uses zinc as the main active material of the negative electrode and an alkaline aqueous solution containing caustic potash, caustic soda, etc. as the electrolyte, in a state where the battery is electrically connected to the positive electrode. A molded body containing a powdered hydrogen storage alloy is built in, and the hydrogen storage alloy is fixed at a position where at least a portion thereof is in contact with the gas phase and at least a portion thereof is in contact with the electrolyte. It is something. Furthermore, the above-mentioned molded body is, for example, a sponge-like porous body made of metal, a non-woven fabric made of conductive fibers such as metal or carbon, or a mat whose voids are filled with hydrogen-absorbing alloy powder, or a hydrogen-absorbing alloy powder and a binder, There are various embodiments, such as one in which a conductor such as carbon powder is mixed and pressure molded as necessary. In addition, as a method for electrically conducting the molded body containing the above-mentioned hydrogen storage alloy with the positive electrode, there are two methods: bringing it into direct contact with the positive electrode, and bringing it into contact with the inner wall of the positive electrode can or the positive electrode current collector. Good too. or,
When installing the above molded body with part of it in contact with the gas phase and part of it in contact with the electrolyte, set the installation location at a location that does not inhibit the discharge reaction of the positive and negative electrodes, and at the boundary between gas and liquid. For example, in the case of a cylindrical battery, as shown in the examples later, by placing a ring-shaped hydrogen storage body on the top surface of a hollow cylindrical positive electrode, conduction with the positive electrode can be established. It is possible to adopt a method that brings about contact with the gas-liquid phase and does not inhibit the discharge reaction. It may be pressed using a protrusion provided on the holder. In addition, the hydrogen storage alloy used in the present invention is an alloy that is resistant to alkali and stores hydrogen at relatively low pressure, and it is preferable to use a powdered one to increase the absorption rate. As alloys, for example, ZnMnα (O < α < 3.5), ZrVβ (O
<β<3.5), Ti 1- 〓ZγM 2 (O<γ<1, M=Cr,
V, Co, Mn, Ni, Fe, Cn), CaNiδ (3.5<δ<
6.0), etc., and it is necessary to store hydrogen at a pressure below at least 5 atm, preferably 1 atm or below, since it is necessary to store hydrogen at a pressure below which there is no concern that the battery will expand, leak, or interfere with discharge performance. All you have to do is select an alloy that will. Effects Next, we will discuss the main points of its effects. First, hydrogen gas generated by the corrosion reaction between the zinc negative electrode and the electrolyte gradually accumulates in the gas phase inside the battery, but when a predetermined pressure is reached, hydrogen is stored in the hydrogen storage alloy.
Prevents internal pressure from increasing. In this state, the positive electrode and the hydrogen storage alloy are electrically connected, so a local battery is formed in which the stored hydrogen is the active material of the negative electrode and the positive electrode active material is the active material of the positive electrode, and the hydrogen stored in the hydrogen storage alloy is The hydrogen storage alloy is consumed to reduce the positive electrode active substance, and the hydrogen storage alloy gradually recovers its hydrogen storage capacity, stores new hydrogen in the gas phase, and sequentially eliminates the hydrogen continuously generated from the negative electrode. It is possible to prevent the internal pressure of the battery from increasing. At this time, since the hydrogen storage reaction is mainly carried out in the gas phase, a portion of the hydrogen must be in contact with the gas phase. On the other hand, in order for hydrogen to act as a reducing agent in an electrochemical reaction with the positive electrode, in addition to the electrical conduction through electronic conduction described above, the positive electrode and hydrogen storage alloy must be connected by an electrolyte and conduct ion conduction. Some parts must be in contact with the electrolyte. In order to further facilitate such a reaction, it is effective to subject the hydrogen-absorbing alloy powder or the molded body containing the same to water-repellent treatment. This prevents the electrolyte from adhering to the surface of the hydrogen storage alloy and maintains a state in which hydrogen gas is easily stored. By applying such a method, compared to the conventional method in which a hydrogen storage alloy is placed in the gas phase and only has a storage function, the actual amount of hydrogen gas storage alloy required is smaller. Even if a large amount of hydrogen gas is generated, an increase in internal pressure can be effectively suppressed. Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to Examples. EXAMPLE FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an example of an alkaline manganese dry battery to which the present invention is applied, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a conventional battery used for comparative study of the effects of the present invention. In Fig. 1, 1 is a metal outer case, 2 is a positive electrode insulating ring, 3 is a negative electrode insulating ring, 4 is an insulating heat shrink tube, 5 is a metal positive terminal, 6 is a metal negative terminal, and 7 is a metal negative electrode terminal. A positive electrode case made of iron plated with nickel, 8 a positive electrode made of a mixture of manganese dioxide and graphite and pressure molded, and 9 a separator made of a polypropylene nonwoven fabric. 10 is a vacant chamber expressed as "gas phase" in the description of the present invention; 11
is a ring-shaped molded body filled with hydrogen storage alloy powder using various methods described below. This molded body 11 is in close contact with the top 8-1 of the positive electrode 8, the inner wall 7-1 of the positive electrode case 7, and the separator 9 impregnated with electrolyte, and is in contact with the positive electrode, the electrolyte, and the gas phase. are doing. 12 is a sealing plate made of polypropylene, and its protrusion 12' presses and fixes the molded body 11. 13 is a bottom plate made of cellulose, 14 is a gel-like zinc negative electrode made by dispersing zinc alloy powder with an average particle size of about 100μ in an electrolyte of caustic potash aqueous solution gelled with carboxymethylcellulose, and the zinc alloy contains lead as an additive element. , indium, and potassium are each added in a weight ratio of 0.05% to zinc, which has relatively good corrosion resistance, and is not subjected to any oxidation treatment. 15 is a negative electrode current collector made of brass. In the case of the conventional battery shown in Fig. 2,
Hydrogen storage alloy powder 16 is filled into the hollow part of a microporous tube 17 made of fluororesin, and the tube 1
7 is attached and fixed to the recess 12'' of the sealing plate 12,
The structure is similar to that of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, except that a ring-shaped molded body containing a hydrogen storage alloy is not provided. In order to examine the effects of the present invention, a prototype was made using an AA battery by changing the construction method of the hydrogen storage body.
The hydrogen storage alloys used were ZrMn 2 pulverized to about 100 μm in an argon atmosphere. In the conventional example, this powder was simply filled in a porous tube in a predetermined amount, whereas in the example of the present invention, The nickel sponge-like porous material used in this case has a porosity of 93 to 95%.
Hydrogen absorbing alloy powder and fluororesin binder are mixed in a solid weight ratio of 10:1, the slurry is suction impregnated, and then dried in an inert atmosphere. After applying pressure with a roller, it was processed into a ring shape. Similarly, in the case of the hydrogen storage body processed into a ring shape by pressure molding in the example, hydrogen storage alloy powder and fluororesin fine powder were mixed at a weight ratio of 10:1 and pressure molded by a press. In addition, we made trial products by mixing 5% by weight of graphite with the above mixed powder and press-molding the mixture. After storing each prototype battery at 60℃ for one month,
Continuous discharge performance at 20°C and 10Ω, leakage resistance, and degree of expansion were evaluated. The details of the prototype battery and the test results are shown in the table below.

[Table] As seen in the table, a prototype was produced as a conventional example.
Despite using the largest amount of hydrogen storage alloy, the battery's internal pressure rise could not be suppressed, and the degree of battery expansion, number of leaks, and deterioration of discharge performance were all significant, and did not meet practical performance. do not have. As mentioned above, this device has the function of storing hydrogen, but unlike the present invention, it does not have the function of consuming the stored hydrogen by reaction with the positive electrode, so hydrogen gas exceeding the limit of its storage capacity may , the above failure occurred. On the other hand, b, c,
In both cases d and e, although the amount of hydrogen storage alloy used is smaller than in case a, there are almost no problems seen in case a, and the generated hydrogen gas is absorbed and the occluded hydrogen is By being consumed in the reaction with the positive electrode,
This shows that the action of storing new hydrogen gas is occurring smoothly. The reaction during this time is expressed by the following formula. ZrMn 2 +H 2 absorption −→ ZrMn 2 −H 2 ...(1) Anodic reaction: ZrMn 2 −H 2 →ZrMn+2H + +2e ...(2) Cathode reaction: 2MnO 2 +2H + +2e→2MnOOH ...(3) That is , in the case of a, only the occlusion reaction 1 is performed, whereas in the cases b to e, the reaction 1 is followed by the reaction 1.
A few electrochemical reactions occur simultaneously, and H 2
ZrMn 2 as well as consumed for the reduction of MnO 2
−H2 returns to ZrMn2 , restoring its ability to store H2 . In this case, ZrMn 2 acts as a catalyst to eliminate H 2 gas, so a small amount of hydrogen storage alloy can prevent the internal pressure of the battery from increasing. Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention is extremely effective in obtaining a zinc-alkaline battery with low pollution and excellent usability.
