Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A negative electrode for an alkaline storage battery that achieves both an improvement in cycle life and an improvement in low temperature discharge characteristics, and an alkaline storage battery including the negative electrode are disclosed. The negative electrode for an alkaline storage battery includes a negative electrode core body formed of metal, and a negative electrode mixture layer which contains at least a hydrogen storage alloy and yttrium fluoride, and is carried on the negative electrode core body. Particles of the yttrium fluoride are formed so that the average particle size thereof is equal to 1 μm or more and 7 μm or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A negative electrode for an alkaline storage battery, the negative electrode comprising: a negative electrode core body formed of metal; and a negative electrode mixture layer that contains at least a hydrogen storage alloy and yttrium fluoride, and is carried on the negative electrode core body, wherein the particles of the yttrium fluoride are formed so that the average particle size thereof is equal to 1 μm or more and 3 μm or less. 2 . The negative electrode for an alkaline storage battery according to claim 1 , wherein particles of the hydrogen storage alloy are formed so that an average particle size thereof is equal to 15 μm or more and 90 μm or less. 3 . An alkaline storage battery comprising: an electrode group including the negative electrode according to claim 1 , a positive electrode, and a separator arranged between the positive electrode and the negative electrode; and an outer packaging can having electrical conductivity in which the electrode group is accommodated together with an alkaline electrolytic solution.
