The effects of expanded and not expanded (natural flake) graphite additives were evaluated on the discharge utilization of the positive active material (PAM) in the lead-acid battery. Graphite powders were added to the paste at 2.20 vol. % and tested in model 2V battery cells under a wide range of discharge currents from 8C to C/20.
Graphite is a generally beneficial additive because it enhances PAM utilization and often increases the cycle life of the battery. Reports on the electrochemical stability of graphite are not unanimous, but research suggests that graphite does not lower the performance of the battery.
The contact angle of the lead relative to the graphite at a temperature 1073 K is 138°. A novel lead-carbon material with high carbon content has been studied as possible material for positive grids of lead acid batteries.
The biggest crystals are about 5 μm and a great area of the surface is covered by very small well faceted lead sulfate crystals with the sizes from 200 nm to 1 μm. The surface of graphite crystals are not covered by lead sulfate particles as at the electrochemical cycling.
As it is seen from the SEM images of the surface of lead-graphite metallic composite ultrafine crystals of lead dioxide and lead sulfate covers all surfaces of the electrodes except of graphite crystals ( Fig. 16b). Lead dioxide and lead sulfate crystals form porous structure with the pore sizes more than 2 μm.
Hence, we expect that using lead-carbon metal material can be avoided the destruction of current leads due to intergranular corrosion, which is peculiar to the alloy used today Pb–Ca, Pb–Sb, Pb–Sn, which will increase lifetime of lead acid battery. 2. Experimental
