How to overcome sulfation in lead-acid batteries?
To overcome the problem of sulfation in lead-acid batteries, we prepared few-layer graphene (FLG) as a conductive additive in negative electrodes for lead-acid batteries. The FLG was derived from synthetic graphite through liquid-phase delamination.
How can FLG protect a lead-acid battery from sulfation?
In addition, according to the XRD measurements of NAM, NAM (G), and NAM (FLG) electrodes collected after the charge/discharge tests, FLG can protect the lead in the NAM plate of a lead-acid battery from sulfation, which can further improve the electrochemical performance of the battery in terms of capacity and cycle life.
Can nanostructured PB electrodes be used as negative electrodes for lead–acid batteries?
Nanostructured Pb electrodes consisting of nanowire arrays were obtained by electrodeposition, to be used as negative electrodes for lead–acid batteries. Reduced graphene oxide was added to improve their performances. This was achieved via the electrochemical reduction of graphene oxide directly on the surface of nanowire arrays.
This was achieved via the electrochemical reduction of graphene oxide directly on the surface of nanowire arrays. The electrodes with and without reduced graphene oxide were tested in a 5 M sulfuric acid solution using a commercial pasted positive plate and an absorbed glass mat separator in a zero-gap configuration.
