How graphene nano-sheets improve the capacity utilization of lead acid battery?

• Increased utilization of lead oxide core and increased electrode structural integrity. Abstract Graphene nano-sheets such as graphene oxide, chemically converted graphene and pristine graphene improve the capacity utilization of the positive active material of the lead acid battery.

Can lead acid batteries be enhanced with graphene?

Our research into enhancing Lead Acid Batteries with graphene commenced in 2016. The initial motive of the project was to enhance the dynamic charge acceptance of the negative active material.

What is ion transfer optimization in graphene optimized lead acid battery?

The Fig. 6 is a model used to explain the ion transfer optimization mechanisms in graphene optimized lead acid battery. Graphene additives increased the electro-active surface area, and the generation of −OH radicals, and as such, the rate of −OH transfer, which is in equilibrium with the transfer of cations, determined current efficiency.

How does graphene epoxide react with lead-acid battery?

The plethora of OH bonds on the graphene oxide sheets at hydroxyl, carboxyl sites and bond-opening on epoxide facilitate conduction of lead ligands, sulphites, and other ions through chemical substitution and replacements of the −OH. Eqs. (5) and (6) showed the reaction of lead-acid battery with and without the graphene additives.

What wt% of the graphene additives are used?

1 wt% of the graphene additives were used to enhance the positive paste to obtain the respective active materials (GO-PAM, CCG-PAM and GX-PAM) in comparison with the control (CNTL-PAM), while 0–2.5 wt% GO loading in the GO-PAM was used to obtain the effect of GO wt% on utilization to determine the optimal graphene loading.
