Such applications include automotive starting lighting and ignition (SLI) and battery-powered uninterruptable power supplies (UPS). Lead acid battery cell consists of spongy lead as the negative active material, lead dioxide as the positive active material, immersed in diluted sulfuric acid electrolyte, with lead as the current collector:
Battery Application & Technology All lead-acid batteries operate on the same fundamental reactions. As the battery discharges, the active materials in the electrodes (lead dioxide in the positive electrode and sponge lead in the negative electrode) react with sulfuric acid in the electrolyte to form lead sulfate and water.
Voltage of lead acid battery upon charging. The charging reaction converts the lead sulfate at the negative electrode to lead. At the positive terminal the reaction converts the lead to lead oxide. As a by-product of this reaction, hydrogen is evolved.
The active mass was obtained from lead powder made in a Barton pot. XRD analysis of lead dust showed that the used material consisted of 71.4% α - PbO, 4.6% β - PbO, and 24.0% Pb, in relative percent. This composition confirmed that the physicochemical parameters were appropriate for use in the lead-acid battery industry.
Lead-acid batteries are still promising as ener- gy sources to be provided economically from worldwide. From the issue of resources, it is the improvement of the lead-acid battery to support a wave of the motorization in the developing countries in the near future.
Lead, tin, and calcium were the three main components. Other elements constitute ~0.02 wt% of the sample. Corrosion potential and current, polarization resistance, electrolyte conductivity, and stability were studied. IL was selected as an effective additive for capacity tests of the positive electrode.
