Separator for battery and alkaline battery
First Claim
1. A separator for alkaline primary batteries which is obtained by bonding 5.0 to 45.0 g/m2 of a highly hygroscopic macromolecular compound of a crosslinking type having a carboxyl group to a nonwoven fabric of a wet type comprising an alkali-resistant fiber, followed by crosslinking the macromolecular compound, wherein a silicate compound is added to the highly hygroscopic macromolecular compound of a crosslinking type in an amount so that said silicate compound comprises 1.0×
- 10−
4 to 5 mg/cm2 per unit area of the separator,wherein the alkali-resistant fiber comprises a polyvinyl alcohol-based fiber,and the silicate compound is potassium silicate.

Abstract
A separator for alkaline batteries which is obtained by bonding 5.0 to 45.0 g/m2 of a highly hygroscopic macromolecular compound of the crosslinking type having carboxyl group to a wetlaid nonwoven fabric comprising an alkali-resistant fiber, followed by crosslinking the macromolecular compound, wherein a silicate compound is added to the highly hygroscopic macromolecular compound of the crosslinking type in an amount of 1.0×10−4 to 10 mg/cm2 per unit area of the separator. By adding the silicate compound, absorption of the electrolyte is increased, the electrolyte can be held for a long time, the electric resistance of the separator itself can be kept small, growth of dendrite can be suppressed, short circuit due to the formed dendrite can be prevented, the volume of the negative electrode material can be increased by suppressing the thickness of the separator after absorbing the electrolyte, impact of dropping can be endured, and oxidative degradation in the alkaline dry cells can be suppressed. An alkaline primary battery can be constructed using the separator.
