The service life of lead-acid batteries is often limited by disintegration of the positive active mass structure. It is known that the latter depends on the phase composition, crystal morphology and paste density. In general, the electrode whose active mass is prepared from 4PbO · PbSO 4 pastes (denoted by 4BS pas ) has about 30% longer cycle lives than those obtained by 3PbO · PbSO 4 · H 2 O. Therefore, the initial capacity and cycle performance of lead dioxide electrodes prepared from 10, 30 and 50 wt.% 4BS syn (chemically synthesized 4PbO · PbSO 4 ) addition with regard to the amount of cementation leady oxide were examined. Lead oxide (denoted by cementation leady oxide) was prepared by the pulverization of sponge lead prepared from a cementation reaction under the conditions of 90 o C and 1.0 wt.%HCl solution. 4BS syn crystals were chemically synthesized in 40.1 wt.%H 2 SO 4 with β-PbO. Without 4BS syn , crystals lead dioxide electrode has shown a higher initial capacity than any other 4BS syn contents and cycle performance was the best although the initial capacity is relatively low for 50 wt.% 4BS syn .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
