Cyclic voltammetry experiments show that the current of oxygen evolution on Pb-Ca-Sn-Ce electrode is lower than that of Pb-Ca-Sn electrode in the same anodic voltage. Moreover, the oxygen evolution potential on the former electrode is greater than that on the latter, and this means that Ce can increase the potential of oxygen evolution on Pb-Ca-Sn alloy. The AC impedance experiments show that Ce can also enhance the resistance of hydrogen evolution on Pb-Ca-Sn electrode, i.e., Ce can inhibit the hydrogen evolution on Pb-Ca-Sn electrode. The reason why Ce decreases the volume of hydrogen evolution on Pb-Ca-Sn alloy is that Ce increases the resistance of absorbing step of hydrogen evolution reaction. All the experimental results indicate that Pb-Ca-Sn-Ce alloy can rapidly decrease the oxygen and hydrogen evolution on Pb-Ca-Sn-Ce alloy. It is concluded that Pb-Ca-Sn-Ce alloy can promote the maintenance-free property of lead acid battery, and can serve as the candidate of the grid material for maintenance-free lead acid battery.展开更多

The results show that the growth of Pb(Ⅱ) oxide on the new Pb-Ca-Sn-Ce alloy surface is inhibited. The AC impedance measurement shows that resistance of the corrosion layer of novel Pb-Ca-Sn-Ce alloy decreases. It is found that the novel Pb-Ca-Sn-Ce alloy can encourage the development of PbO2 in the scale, and enhance the conductivity of the anodic scale. Hence the deep recycling properties of the battery can be expected better.展开更多
