Negative cobalt electrode for an alkaline storage battery
| Details |
Inventors: Saridakis, Nikolaus;
Assignee: Volkswagenwerk Aktiengesellschaft (Wolfsburg, DE1)
Primary Examiner: LeFevour; Charles F.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Spencer & Kaye
A negative cobalt electrode for an alkaline storage battery comprises a layered structure including a center layer of compact, sintered cobalt powder forming an electrically conductive supporting framework, and outer layers of porous, sintered cobalt powder. The outer layers form the electrochemically active surfaces of the electrode. A method is provided for making the electrode. |
|
DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A negative cobalt electrode for an alkaline storage battery, comprising a layered structure including a center layer of compact, sintered cobalt powder forming an electrically conductive supporting framework, and two outer layers of porous, sintered cobalt powder, one on each side of the center layer, and forming the electrochemically active surfaces of the electrode, with the center layer being denser than the two outer layers.
2.
The cobalt electrode as defined in claim 1 wherein the center layer has a thickness of about 0.
1 to 0.
5 mm.
3.
The cobalt electrode as defined in claim 1 including a current lug fastened to an end of the electrode to supply and discharge electrical current.
4.
The cobalt electrode as defined in claim 3 wherein the current lug is fastened by spot welding.
5.
The cobalt electrode as defined in claim 3 wherein a portion of the compact cobalt center layer forming the supporting framework extends past the two outer layers, is coextensive with the outer faces of the outer layers, and forms the area where the current lug is fastened.
6.
The cobalt electrode as defined in claim 3 including a reinforcement, in the form of a flat metallic body, embedded in the electrode in the area of the electrode where the current lug is fastened.
7.
The cobalt electrode as defined in claim 6 wherein the flat metallic body is embedded in the center layer.
8.
The cobalt electrode as defined in claim 3 wherein a plurality of current lugs are fastened to the electrode.
Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to negative cobalt electrodes for alkaline storage batteries and to processes for manufacturing such electrodes.
Prior art negative electrodes produced of powdered cobalt by heat treatment for alkaline storage batteries suffer from the disadvantage that they generally are not sufficiently stable mechanically and thus are able to withstand only a relatively small number of charging and discharging cycles
