PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN STORAGE ALLOY AND ALKALINE BATTERY USING THE ALLOY

摘要

PURPOSE:To provide an alkaline battery using a hydrogen storage alloy and excellent in charging and discharging life and discharge characteristics by improving the production process of the hydrogen storage alloy. CONSTITUTION:The molten hydrogen storage alloy 1 is blown by a compressed inert gas into an aq. alkaline soln. 7 and rapidly solidified to obtain the fine alloy powder having 1-100mum average grain diameter. An alkaline battery is formed from this fine alloy powder, and the durable alkaline battery excellent in discharge characteristics is provided.
