Electrolyte: A lithium salt solution in an organic solvent that facilitates the flow of lithium ions between the cathode and anode. Chemistry: Lead acid batteries operate on chemical reactions between lead dioxide (PbO2) as the positive plate, sponge lead (Pb) as the negative plate, and a sulfuric acid (H2SO4) electrolyte.
The primary difference lies in their chemistry and energy density. Lithium-ion batteries are more efficient, lightweight, and have a longer lifespan than lead acid batteries. Why are lithium-ion batteries better for electric vehicles?
With the purpose of evaluating the fire hazards of the electric vehicle, a full-scale thermal runaway test of the real lithium-ion battery pack is conducted in this work. The experimental process can be divided into three stages according to the combustion behavior.
At 25 °C, the lead–acid batteries provide 107% of their nominal capacity, while the LFP batteries vary from 98% to 103%. For 0 °C, the measured capacity of all batteries decreases down to a range between 91% and 102% of their measured 25 °C capacity.
In particular, the generated carbon monoxide and hydrogen fluoride are acute toxic substances that are fatal to the people. Moreover, the combustion behavior of the battery pack will be aggravated by released combustible gas, such as CH 4, C 2 H 4, C 2 H 6 and C 3 H 8 [6, 12].
Lower Initial Cost: Lead acid batteries are much more affordable initially, making them a budget-friendly option for many users. Higher Operating Costs: However, lead acid batteries incur higher operating costs over time due to their shorter lifespan, lower efficiency, and maintenance needs. VIII. Applications
