Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of preparation method of high temperature Ni-MH power cell, be specifically related to the manufacturing process of the Ni-MH power cell that a kind of high-temperature behavior is good, belong to secondary cell preparing technical field.
Background technology
Ni-MH battery is with features such as its good charge-discharge performance, pollution-free, high power capacity and high-energy-densities, from the nineties industrialization in the last century history of existing ten several years so far, is the leading products in secondary cell market always.Not only be widely used in all kinds of consumer electronic product, but also be used as the first-selected product of electric vehicle power sources.
The electric equipment products emerging in an endless stream, usually needs battery (>=45 ℃) work under higher ambient temperature.Rechargeable battery is in charge and discharge process, and it is huge that the variation of ambient temperature exerts an influence to battery performance.Traditional Ni-MH battery is when serviceability temperature surpasses 30 ℃, and its charge efficiency can decline along with the rising of temperature, and battery is at high temperature used also can cause hydraulic performance decline, and decay is accelerated.
Therefore for a long time, the research of researching high-temperature ni-mh was never interrupted.Except disclosing anticathode hydrogen-storage alloy, a few patents adds lanthanum, cerium, polonium, vanadium, iron, nickel, zinc, tungsten, chromium, titanium, one or more oxides in lithium, beyond hydroxide improves, major technique is still positive electrode, being included in battery village material formula takes mechanical mixing to add rare earth, rare metal, alkaline earth element is as magnesium, calcium, strontium, Cerium, ytterbium, lanthanum, lanthanide series, because positive pole batching is difficult to reach completely evenly, so some considerations adopt the coprecipitation above-mentioned element that adulterates during fabrication, also there is the hydroxide of considering the coated above-mentioned element of one deck on ball nickel.Although above-mentioned several method has certain effect to improving high-temperature battery performance, but still exist many deficiencies, although coated, above-mentioned phenomenon is had to certain improvement, but still exist coated firm not, after discharging and recharging, occur that superficial layer dissolves and obscission, make active material loss, conductivity reduces, and has a strong impact on cycle life and efficiency.
Another kind method is to add cobalt protoxide and cobalt hydroxide, but in its charge and discharge process after interpolation, Yi Bian be dissolved in alkaline aqueous solution, separate out again again on one side, and structural change sharply occurs, have part cobalt compound free, thereby cause cobalt quantitative change to cause battery performance to reduce

Graphene is the material with carbon element that is the netted bonding of hexagon, has a lot of outstanding electrical characteristics.Carbon atom has four valence electrons, and each carbon atom is contributed a not Cheng Jian like this
πelectronics, these
πelectronics becomes vertical direction can form track with plane,
πelectronics can move freely in crystal, gives the conductivity that Graphene is good.The patience to high current density considerably beyond copper.
Compare with other materials, Graphene also has much very special character.Though Graphene does not much find out that principle is but considered to very promising application examples in addition.Such as the electrode material as Li-Ion rechargeable battery.By adding a small amount of Graphene in the electrode to Li-Ion rechargeable battery, not only can keep original energy density, also can significantly improve output power density.Graphene also has the advantages such as environmental protection and energy saving.Will be in energy industry great Zhan advantage.
