Abstract

[Problem] To provide a hybrid negative plate for a lead-acid storage battery, that inhibits decrease in hydrogen gas evolution potential and improves rapid discharge cycle characteristics in PSOC. [Means for Resolution] In a hybrid negative plate for a lead-acid storage battery, comprising a negative electrode active material-filled plate having formed on the surface thereof a coating layer of a carbon mixture comprising a carbon material for ensuring conductivity, activated carbon for ensuring capacitor capacity and/or pseudocapacitor capacity, and at least a binder, activated carbon modified with a functional group is used as the activated carbon. Preferably, activated carbon modified with an acidic surface functional group is used.

Claims (11)

1. A hybrid negative plate for a lead-acid storage battery, comprising

a negative electrode active material-filled plate having formed on the surface thereof a coating layer of a carbon mixture comprising a carbon material for ensuring conductivity,

an activated carbon for ensuring capacitor capacity and/or pseudocapacitor capacity, and

at least a binder,

wherein the activated carbon is modified with an acidic functional group such that a total amount of acidic functional groups is in an amount of 0.16 to 0.489 μmol/m 2 per 1 g of the activated carbon, being a value obtained by dividing the amount of the acidic surface functional group by a specific surface area of 1 g of the activated carbon.

2. The hybrid negative plate for a lead-acid storage battery according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon mixture comprises 5 to 70 parts by weight of the carbon material, 20 to 80 parts by weight of the activated carbon modified with a functional group, 1 to 20 parts by weight of the binder, 0 to 10 parts by weight of a thickener, and 0 to 10 parts by weight of a short fiber-like reinforcement.

3. The hybrid negative plate for a lead-acid storage battery according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of the carbon mixture applied to the surface of the negative electrode active material-filled plate is 15 parts by weight or less relative to 100 parts by weight of the negative electrode active material.

4. The hybrid negative plate for a lead-acid storage battery according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon mixture coating layer has a porosity of 40 to 90%.

5. The hybrid negative plate for a lead-acid storage battery according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon mixture coating layer has a thickness of 0.1 mm or less.

6. A lead-acid storage battery comprising the hybrid negative plate according to claim 1 .

7. The hybrid negative plate for a lead-acid storage battery according to claim 1 , wherein the acidic functional group comprises at least one group selected from a carboxyl group, a lactone group, and a phenolic hydroxyl group.
