Learn MoreVoltage of lead acid battery upon charging. The charging reaction converts the lead sulfate at the negative electrode to lead. At the positive terminal the reaction converts the lead to lead oxide. As a by-product of this reaction, hydrogen is evolved.
A lead acid battery consists of a negative electrode made of spongy or porous lead. The lead is porous to facilitate the formation and dissolution of lead. The positive electrode consists of lead oxide. Both electrodes are immersed in a electrolytic solution of sulfuric acid and water.
The crystallized lead sulfate not only does not participate in the reaction, but also adsorbs on the surface of the electrode plate, which increases the internal resistance of the battery and affects the charge and discharge performance of the battery and the battery capacity3.
The recovery of lead acid batteries from sulfation has been demonstrated by using several additives proposed by the authors et al. From electrochemical investigation, it was found that one of the main effects of additives is increasing the hydrogen overvoltage on the negative electrodes of the batteries.
Often, the term most commonly heard for explaining the performance degradation of lead–acid batteries is the word, sulfation. Sulfation is a residual term that came into existence during the early days of lead–acid battery development.
Nevertheless, positive grid corrosion is probably still the most frequent, general cause of lead–acid battery failure, especially in prominent applications, such as for instance in automotive (SLI) batteries and in stand-by batteries. Pictures, as shown in Fig. 1 taken during post-mortem inspection, are familiar to every battery technician.
