In general, a nickel-hydrogen secondary battery of this type is constituted by a separator between a hydrogen storage alloy negative electrode and a nickel positive electrode, as shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 58-46827, and is charged or stored. Oxygen gas generated from the positive electrode is sometimes consumed by reacting with hydrogen stored in the charged negative electrode, that is, the hydrogen storage alloy in the negative electrode. However, oxygen reacts with hydrogen in the hydrogen storage alloy to become water, and directly reacts with the hydrogen storage alloy to chemically change the composition of the hydrogen storage alloy, and this chemical change causes the hydrogen storage alloy to have a hydrogen storage capacity. Loss of negative electrode capacity,
Unable to maintain high capacity for a long time, and
Especially the storage characteristics were poor.

Charged at A for 16 hours, then at 240mA the battery voltage is 1.0V
After completing the initial activation by performing several charge / discharge cycles of discharging until the battery becomes full, it is charged at 120 mA for 16 hours and the relationship between the standing time and the remaining capacity is examined. The results are shown in FIG. The capacities are shown as 100 respectively. The remaining capacity is measured by discharging at 240 mA after standing for a certain period. Further, FIG. 2 is a cycle characteristic diagram measured by repeating charging / discharging of the batteries (A) to (E) by the charging / discharging cycle after left for one month.

Unlike the cadmium negative electrode that has been conventionally used, the hydrogen storage alloy negative electrode is extremely active when fully charged, and reacts and oxidizes at a very fast rate when contacted with oxygen. Then, in this oxidation, oxygen reacts with hydrogen stored in the hydrogen storage alloy of the negative electrode to become water, and also reacts with the hydrogen storage alloy to change the hydrogen storage alloy into another substance often having a different composition. That is, in the above example, LaNi 5 loses its hydrogen storage capacity by being changed to La 2 O 3 , La (OH) 3 , Ni, NiO, Ni (OH) 2 and the like while being left unattended. It does not return to LaNi 5 even after repeated discharge.

Therefore, in the comparative battery (E), oxygen is likely to be generated during charging from the positive electrode, so a large amount of oxygen remains in the battery after charging, and since oxygen is generated from the positive electrode even during standing, the capacity decrease during the standing period is large, In addition, since the composition of the hydrogen storage alloy of the negative electrode often changes, the capacity decreases greatly with the progress of the charging / discharging cycle after standing. On the other hand, in the batteries (A) to (D) of the present invention, the oxygen overvoltage of the positive electrode is increased by the copper ions, lead ions, and silver ions present in the electrolytic solution. Oxygen gas generation is suppressed and the decrease in capacity is small. Further, loss of hydrogen storage capacity due to a composition change caused by the reaction of the hydrogen storage alloy with oxygen can be suppressed, so that cycle deterioration after leaving is reduced.

Although the non-sintered nickel positive electrode is used as the positive electrode in the above embodiment, the same effect can be obtained by using a known sintered nickel positive electrode. Although LaNi 5 was used as the hydrogen storage alloy of the negative electrode in the examples, the same effect can be obtained when other hydrogen storage alloys are used.
