최근 전자 기술의 급속한 발달로 인하여, 전기, 전자 기기의 포터블(Portable)화, 소형화, 경량화가 진행되면서, 니켈/수소저장합금 전지와 같은 고성능의 2차 전지에 대한 수요가 급격하게 증가하는 추세에 있다.Recently, due to the rapid development of electronic technology, as portable, miniaturized, and lightweight electronics and electronic devices have progressed, the demand for high performance secondary batteries such as nickel / hydrogen storage alloy batteries is rapidly increasing. have.
이와 같은 니켈/수소저장합금 2차 전지에서, 음극판은 전지의 충전 및 방전시, 수소를 방출하거나 흡수하며, 과충전시에는, 양극판에서 발생하는 가스를 흡수하여 소비한다. 이에 따라, 니켈/수소저장합금 2차 전지의 성능(예를 들어, 전지의 충전 및 방전 싸이클 수명, 고율방전특성 등)은 음극판의 성능에 따라 크게 좌우된다.In such a nickel / hydrogen storage alloy secondary battery, the negative electrode plate releases or absorbs hydrogen during charging and discharging of the battery, and absorbs and consumes gas generated in the positive electrode plate during overcharging. Accordingly, the performance of the nickel / hydrogen storage alloy secondary battery (for example, the charge and discharge cycle life of the battery, high rate discharge characteristics, etc.) greatly depends on the performance of the negative electrode plate.
본 명세서에서는 종래의 니켈/수소저장합금 2차 전지용 음극판 제조방법으로서, 한국과학기술연구원(KIST : Korea Institute of Science and Techology)에 의해 "페이스트식(Paste-type) 수소저장합금 전극의 제조방법"이란 명칭으로 미합중국에 출원되어 등록된 미국특허 제5,682,592호에 대해 간략히 설명한다.In the present specification, as a method of manufacturing a negative electrode plate for a conventional nickel / hydrogen storage alloy secondary battery, a method of manufacturing a paste-type hydrogen storage alloy electrode by the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) is disclosed. US Patent No. 5,682,592 filed and registered in the United States under the name is briefly described.
상기 미국특허 제5,682,592호에 따르면, 상기 음극판은 분말 형태의 활물질(즉, 수소저장합금(Metal Hydryde), 바인더(Binder), 도전재(Conductor) 및 물을 소정비율로 혼합하여 반죽한 후, 상기 수소저장합금 반죽을 집전체인 니켈 스크린(Nickel Screen)의 표면에 피복한 다음, 건조 및 압착하여 제조된다.According to the U.S. Patent No. 5,682,592, the negative electrode plate is kneaded by mixing an active material in powder form (i.e., a hydrogen storage alloy, a binder, a conductive material, and water at a predetermined ratio), and The hydrogen storage alloy dough is coated on the surface of a nickel screen (Nickel Screen), which is a current collector, and then dried and pressed.
그러나, 전술한 바와 같은 종래 기술의 제조방법에 의해 제조된 니켈/수소저장합금 2차 전지용 음극판에서는, 수소저장합금이 니켈 스크린의 외벽에 피복되어 있으므로, 방전시, 미분화된 수소저장합금이 전극으로부터 분리되는 탈리 현상이 발생하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이에 따라, 종래의 제조방법에 의해 제조되는 음극판을 적용한 니켈/수소저장합금 2차 전지의 싸이클 수명은, 도1을 참조하면, 약 500회 정도만의 충방전으로 방전용량이 약 80%에 도달할 정도로 저하된다.However, in the negative electrode plate for nickel / hydrogen storage alloy secondary batteries manufactured by the above-described prior art manufacturing method, since the hydrogen storage alloy is coated on the outer wall of the nickel screen, the micronized hydrogen storage alloy is discharged from the electrode during discharge. There is a problem that a detachment phenomenon occurs. Accordingly, the cycle life of the nickel / hydrogen storage alloy secondary battery to which the negative electrode plate manufactured by the conventional manufacturing method is applied, with reference to FIG. 1, the discharge capacity may reach about 80% with only about 500 charge / discharge cycles. To a degree.
더욱이, 전술한 종래 기술의 제조방법에 의해 제조된 음극판에서는, 집전체(즉, 니켈 스크린)의 표면에 수소저장합금이 피복되어 있으므로, 집전체와 수소저장합금 간의 접촉저항이 증가되어 전기 전도성이 저하된다. 이에 따라, 종래의 제조방법에 의해 제조되는 음극판을 적용한 니켈/수소저장합금 2차 전지의 고율방전특성은, 5시간 동안의 방전율이 100%라는 가정하에서 도2를 참조하면, 1시간 동안의 방전율이 95%를 초과하지 못할 정도로 열악하다.Furthermore, in the negative electrode plate manufactured by the above-described prior art manufacturing method, since the hydrogen storage alloy is coated on the surface of the current collector (i.e. nickel screen), the contact resistance between the current collector and the hydrogen storage alloy is increased and electrical conductivity is improved. Degrades. Accordingly, the high-rate discharge characteristic of the nickel / hydrogen storage alloy secondary battery to which the negative electrode plate manufactured by the conventional manufacturing method is applied is based on the assumption that the discharge rate for 5 hours is 100%. This is poor enough not to exceed 95%.

도3은 본 발명에 따른 니켈/수소저장합금 2차 전지용 음극판의 제조방법을 나타내는 순서도이다. 도3을 참조하면, 본 발명에 따른 니켈/수소저장합금 2차 전지용 음극판의 제조방법에서는, 먼저, 다수의 관통공을 포함하는 섬유재를 판상(Plate-shaped)의 섬유재(이하, "섬유 펠트(Felt)"라 함)로 변형한다. 그리고, 상기 섬유펠트를 질산은(AgNO3) 용액과 환원제 용액에 적셔, 상기 섬유 펠트의 표면에 은(Ag)을 피복시킨다(S310). 즉, 섬유 펠트의 표면에 전도성을 부여한다. 상기 섬유재로는 폴리프로필렌(Polypropylene)이 사용될 수 있으며, 통상적으로 수십 ㎛의 크기를 가지는 수소저장합금 입자가 충전될 수 있도록 상기 각각의 관통공은 수백 ㎛의 크기를 가지는 것이 바람직하다. 상기 환원제 용액은 질산은 용액내의 은이온을 환원시켜 석출하기 위한 용액으로서, 자이안산나트륨, 수소화붕소나트륨, 하이드라진, 포르말린, 개미산염 중 선택되는 어느 하나가 사용될 수 있다.3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of manufacturing a negative electrode plate for a nickel / hydrogen storage alloy secondary battery according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, in the method for manufacturing a negative electrode plate for a nickel / hydrogen storage alloy secondary battery according to the present invention, first, a fiber material including a plurality of through holes is plate-shaped fiber material (hereinafter, referred to as “fiber” To "Felt". Then, the fiber felt is wetted with a silver nitrate (AgNO 3 ) solution and a reducing agent solution to coat silver (Ag) on the surface of the fiber felt (S310). That is, conductivity is given to the surface of the fiber felt. Polypropylene (Polypropylene) may be used as the fiber material, and each through hole is preferably several hundred μm in size so that hydrogen storage alloy particles having a size of several tens of μm may be filled. The reducing agent solution is a solution for reducing and depositing silver ions in the silver nitrate solution, and any one selected from sodium nitrate, sodium borohydride, hydrazine, formalin, and formate may be used.
상기 은이 피복된 섬유 펠트는 니켈 전기도금하여(S320), 니켈 펠트, 즉 집전체를 제조한다. 이와 같이 제조된 집전체의 상단부 일측에는 전류가 공급되는 단자가 형성된다.The silver-coated fiber felt is nickel electroplated (S320) to produce a nickel felt, that is, a current collector. One end of the current collector manufactured as described above is provided with a terminal to which a current is supplied.
그리고, 음극판의 활물질인 수소저장합금 분말에 바인더와 물을 소정비율로 혼합하여 수소저장합금 페이스트(Paste)를 제조한다(S330). 상기 수소저장합금으로는 수십㎛의 직경을 가지는 AB5계 합금(예를 들어, MmNi3.55Co0.75Mn0.4Al0.3(Mm: Misch metal, 희토류 금속의 합금), MmNi4.3Mn0.4Al0.3등)과 AB2계 합금(예를 들어, Ti1-xZrxV0.5Ni1.1Fe0.2Mn0.2등) 중 선택되는 어느 하나가 이용될 수 있다. 여기서, 상기 수소저장합금 분말은 니켈(Ni) 또는 구리(Cu) 또는 상기 니켈과 구리의 혼합물 중 어느 하나로 코팅되는 것이 바람직하다. 이러한 경우, 전지의 자기방전억제, 고온부식억제, 고율충방전 특성이 향상될 수 있다. 한편, 상기 바인더로는 PTFE(Polytetrafluoroethylene 및 503H), HPMC(Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose), CMC(Carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium salt) 등의 고분자 물질이 사용될 수 있다. 바람직하기로는, 상기 페이스트에 도전재(Conductor), 예를 들어 니켈 분말, 구리 분말, 흑연 분말 등이 첨가된다.Then, a binder and water are mixed with a hydrogen storage alloy powder which is an active material of a negative electrode plate at a predetermined ratio to prepare a hydrogen storage alloy paste (Saste) (S330). Examples of the hydrogen storage alloy include an AB 5 alloy having a diameter of several tens of micrometers (for example, MmNi 3.55 Co 0.75 Mn 0.4 Al 0.3 (Mm: Misch metal, an alloy of rare earth metals), MmNi 4.3 Mn 0.4 Al 0.3, and the like); Any one selected from among AB 2 based alloys (eg, Ti 1-x Zr x V 0.5 Ni 1.1 Fe 0.2 Mn 0.2, etc.) may be used. Here, the hydrogen storage alloy powder is preferably coated with any one of nickel (Ni) or copper (Cu) or a mixture of nickel and copper. In this case, the self discharge suppression, high temperature corrosion inhibition, high rate charge and discharge characteristics of the battery can be improved. Meanwhile, the binder may be a polymer material such as PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene and 503H), HPMC (Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose), or CMC (Carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium salt). Preferably, a conductive material such as nickel powder, copper powder, graphite powder, or the like is added to the paste.
그런 다음, 상기 수소저장합금 페이스트를 집전체의 관통공내에 채워 충전한다(S340). 이러한 경우, 상기 충전단계(S340)는 수소저장합금 페이스트를 집전체 상에 얹어 놓은 다음 닥터 블레이드(주걱 칼) 등으로 집전체의 관통공 내로 밀어넣는 닥터 블레이드 방식으로 이루어지는 것이 바람직하지만, 이에 국한되는 것은 아니고, 집전체를 수소저장합금 페이스트 용액내에 함침시켜 이루어질 수 있다. 이와 같이, 본 발명의 음극판 제조방법에서는, 상기 수소저장합금 페이스트가 집전체의 관통공내에 충전되므로, 충방전시, 상기 수소저장합금이 집전체로부터 탈리되는 것을 방지할 수 있다.Then, the hydrogen storage alloy paste is filled in the through hole of the current collector (S340). In this case, the filling step (S340) is preferably made of a doctor blade method to put the hydrogen storage alloy paste on the current collector and then pushed into the through hole of the current collector with a doctor blade (scoop blade) or the like, but is not limited thereto. The current collector may be impregnated in a hydrogen storage alloy paste solution. As described above, in the negative electrode plate manufacturing method of the present invention, since the hydrogen storage alloy paste is filled in the through hole of the current collector, it is possible to prevent the hydrogen storage alloy from being detached from the current collector during charging and discharging.
이어, 상기 수소저장합금 페이스트가 충전된 집전체를 대기 중에서 1차 건조시킨 후에, 80 - 130℃의 열풍으로 2차 건조시킨다(S350).Subsequently, the current collector filled with the hydrogen storage alloy paste is first dried in the air, and then secondarily dried with hot air at 80 to 130 ° C. (S350).
그런 다음, 상기 집전체와 전극 활물질 및 활물질 서로 간의 접촉이 원활하게 이루어지고, 음극판의 두께가 감소되도록 집전체를 압착하여(S360), 니켈/수소저장합금 2차 전지용 음극판을 제조한다. 상기 음극판에서, 상기 집전체의 단자에 전류가 공급되는 경우, 상기 수소저장합금은 집전체를 통해 전류를 제공받는다.Then, contact between the current collector, the electrode active material and the active material is smoothly made, and the current collector is pressed to reduce the thickness of the negative electrode plate (S360), thereby manufacturing a negative electrode plate for nickel / hydrogen storage alloy secondary batteries. In the negative electrode plate, when a current is supplied to a terminal of the current collector, the hydrogen storage alloy receives a current through the current collector.
