Lead Acid

Lead-acid batteries are now widely used for energy storage, as result of an established and reliable technology. In the last decade, several studies have been carried out to improve the performance of this type of batteries, with the main objective to replace the conventional plates with innovative electrodes with improved stability, increased capacity and a larger active surface. Such studies ultimately aim to improve the kinetics of electrochemical conversion reactions at the electrode-solution interface and to guarantee a good electrical continuity during the repeated charge/discharge cycles. To achieve these objectives, our contribution focuses on the employment of nanostructured electrodes. In particular, we have obtained nanostructured electrodes in Pb and PbO2 through electrosynthesis in a template consisting of a nanoporous polycarbonate membrane. These electrodes are characterized by a wider active surface area, which allows for a better use of the active material, and for a consequent increased specific energy compared to traditional batteries. In this research, the performance of lead-acid batteries with nanostructured electrodes was studied at 10 C at temperatures of 25, −20 and 40 °C in order to evaluate the efficiency and the effect of temperature on electrode morphology. The batteries were assembled using both nanostructured electrodes and an AGM-type separator used in commercial batteries.

Starting from the well known stable free radical 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH; 2a) and its congener 2,2-diphenyl-1-(4-cyano-2,6-dinitrophenyl)hydrazyl 2b, or from their reduced hydrazine counterparts 1a,b, it was possible to obtain the p-quinonoid compounds 4a,b by oxidation with ceric (Ce4+) sulfate, which by reduction gave the corresponding hydroxyl derivatives 2-phenyl-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-picrylhydrazine 5a or 2-phenyl-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-(4-cyano-2,6-dinitrophenyl)hydrazine 5b. These hydroxyl derivatives (5a,b) react with 4-carboxy-TEMPO or 2,2-diphenyl-1-(4-carboxy-2,6-dinitrophenyl)hydrazine to form the corresponding esters 6a,b or 8a,b. These esters (6a,b and 8a,b) lead to the hybrid hetero diradicals (nitroxide–hydrazyl type) 7a,b or homo biradicals (hydrazyl–hydrazyl type) 9a,b by oxidation with lead dioxide or potassium permanganate. The new compounds were characterized by UV-vis, NMR, EPR, and MS analysis, and their magnetic behaviour was investigated.

Spent lead paste is the main component in lead-acid batteries reaching end of life. It contains about 55% lead sulphate and 35% lead dioxide, as well as minor amounts of lead oxide. It is necessary to recycle spent lead paste with minimal pollution and low energy consumption instead of the conventional smelting method. In this study, a novel approach involving hydrometallurgical desulphurisation and thermal degradation is developed to recover lead as PbO products from spent lead acid batteries. First, the desulphurisation effects and phase compositions of products with different transforming agents were compared, and the optimum conditions using (NH4)2CO3 as a transforming agent were determined. And then, the thermal degradation processes of both precursors lead carbonate and lead dioxide were investigated to prepare α-PbO, Pb3O4, and β-PbO products in argon and air atmospheres, respectively. Both the desulphurisation precursors and the calcination products were characterised by thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the lead oxide products were prepared, including α-PbO at 450°C in argon, Pb3O4 and β-PbO at 480°C and 620°C in air, respectively.
