Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A battery 2 includes: a container 10 ; and an electrode group 6 housed in the container 10 together with an alkaline electrolyte liquid 4 . The electrode group 6 includes a nickel electrode 14 as a positive electrode and a negative electrode 12 that are combined with a separator 8 interposed therebetween. The nickel electrode 14 includes a positive electrode core and a positive electrode mixture permeated in the positive electrode core. The positive electrode mixture contains nickel hydroxide that is a positive electrode active material. The nickel hydroxide contains a sulfate salt, and a weight rate of a S component contained in the sulfate salt to a Ni component in the nickel hydroxide is 0.28% or more and 1.50% or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A nickel positive electrode for an alkaline secondary battery, the nickel positive electrode comprising: a positive electrode core having a conductive porous structure; and a positive electrode mixture, comprising positive electrode active material particles, conductive material, a positive electrode additive, water, and a binder, permeated in the conductive porous structure of the positive electrode core, wherein the positive electrode active material particles comprise nickel hydroxide and an Al solid solution in a crystalline structure, with sulfate salt contained in the crystalline structure of the particles, and wherein a weight ratio of a S component contained in the sulfate salt contained in the particles to a Ni component in the particles is 0.28% or more and 1.50% or less. 2 . An alkaline secondary battery, comprising: a container; and an electrode group housed in the container together with an alkaline electrolyte liquid, wherein the electrode group includes a positive electrode and a negative electrode that are combined with a separator interposed therebetween, and the positive electrode is the nickel electrode for an alkaline secondary battery according to claim 1 . 3 . The alkaline secondary battery according to claim 2 , wherein the negative electrode includes a hydrogen storage alloy.
