“…For example, the peak current increases 7.55% between cycles 100 and 300 and 26.3% between cycles 1050 and 1500. This is in opposite to that seen for pure lead where the oxidation current decreases with cycling [6]. These results clearly show that addition of Sn aids in dissolution of the passive film and increases the reversibility of the anodic reaction.…”

“…Several studies have looked at the nature of the passive film formed on the anode. The composition of the passive layer is a mixture of PbSO 4 /PbO x (1 < x < 2) [6]. On the surface of the lead grid tetragonalPbO is formed, which acts as an insulator toward current flow.…”

“…In order to improve electrode performance different dopants have been studied to improve the dissolution of the passive film. Among these incorporation of Sn even at levels of 0.5 wt.% improves the reversibility of the anode both after storage and deep discharge [6,7].…”
