The growth of large lead sulfate crystals with low conductivity and low solubility was proven to cause negative electrode failure in demanding conditions [ 16, 17 ]; this phenomenon is often cited as “hard sulfation” [ 18 ].
One major cause of failure is hard sulfation, where the formation of large PbSO 4 crystals on the negative active material impedes electron transfer. Here, we introduce a protocol to remove hard sulfate deposits on the negative electrode while maintaining their electrochemical viability for subsequent electrodeposition into active Pb.
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.
However, we found that sulfation is the main rea- son causing damages on lead-acid batteries, because about 70%of waste batteries due to deterioration recovered their performance to an almost similar state to that of new ones by the use of additives which affect the negative electrodes.
The discharge–charge curves for positive and negative electrodes in a lead–acid cell are illustrated schematically in Fig. 3.3. Immediately on applying a load, there is an instantaneous drop in cell voltage (region A). This effect is caused by electrokinetic and mass-transfer limitations in the cell.
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.
