Research on Lead Acid Battery Electrodes.

Abstract

The reactions and physical and molecular transformations that occur in lead acid battery plate active material during charge-discharge cycling have been studied under a DOE program to improve the lead acid battery for electric vehicle applications. Investigations included structural studies of PbO2 by x-ray/neutron diffraction, effects of cycling on capacity by pulsed vs unpulsed discharge, active material microstructure/plate capacity changes under high EV-type discharge rates, 'coralloid' structure formation in cycled positive plates, and tubular plate active material changes during formation and cycling.
