Effects Of Microstructures Of Active Material On Performance Of Vrla Battery, Lei Jiang, Shou-Zhong Yi Oct 2015

Effects Of Microstructures Of Active Material On Performance Of Vrla Battery, Lei Jiang, Shou-Zhong Yi

Journal of Electrochemistry

The structure, morphology and content of the as-prepared and the processed samples were characterized by the means of SEM and XRD. The discharge capacities and cycle life performances of the as-prepared and the processed samples were tested by electrochemical measurements with different rates. The results indicated that the 4BS technology which can affect the plate design, deep cycle capability and cycle life is a basic technology for the VRLA batteries. It was also confirmed that the contents and structures of α-PbO2 and β-PbO2 formed with different processing conditions can affect the performance of the VRLA batteries, suggesting that the production …


Reaction Mechanisms Study Of Pb Electrodes In Sulfuric Acid And Sodium Sulfate Solutions By Eqcm, Xian-Ping Zou, Zong-Xuan Kang, Yu-Lan Huang, Dong Shu, Ya-Yun Zhong, Jun-Nan Hao, Yu-Qing Liao Aug 2015

Reaction Mechanisms Study Of Pb Electrodes In Sulfuric Acid And Sodium Sulfate Solutions By Eqcm, Xian-Ping Zou, Zong-Xuan Kang, Yu-Lan Huang, Dong Shu, Ya-Yun Zhong, Jun-Nan Hao, Yu-Qing Liao

Journal of Electrochemistry

Surface reaction processes of Pb electrodes were investigated in H2SO4 and Na2SO4 solutions by LSV, CV and EQCM. The results in the voltammogram and the mass change curve of the Pb electrode indicated that the oxide products of lead included PbSO4 and PbO·PbSO4 in sulfuric acid solution with a positive-going potential scan from -1.0 V to -0.4 V and then PbO·PbSO4 transformed into PbSO4. However, the oxide product of lead was only PbSO4 in sodium sulfate solution. The experimental results revealed that the acid solution is necessary for the …

Journal of Electrochemistry

The layered carbon materials (similar to graphene) have been synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on the cheap catalyst (potassium or sodium carbonate substrate). The layered-carbon- lead sulfate (PbSO4) composite could be prepared by in situ chemical deposition based on the layered carbon. The XRD, SEM and TEM results showed that the layered carbon materials was amorphous carbon layer, and the composite was a compound made of fine lead sulfate grains and layered carbon. Thermogravimetric analysis determined the carbon content in the composite. Adding a certain amount of layered carbon or layered-carbon-PbSO4 composite into negative active materials …
