Abstract: Storage battery is an indispensable energy storage device at present. It is widely applied to industries like electric automobiles due to its advantages such as safety, reliability, low cost, etc. However, like most storage batteries, lead-acid battery has a series of problems in the low temperature environment such as the plunge of capacity, difficulty of charge, and so on, which deeply influence its application effect. To improve the low temperature performance of lead-acid battery, carbon materials could be added to the cathode of lead-acid battery. By measuring the properties like HRPSoC cycle and dynamic charging under different carbon (graphite) content, this article concludes that the addition of carbon material could improve the low-temperature performance of lead-acid battery. When the carbon content is between 0.3% and 0.9%, the improvement effect is relatively better. The research result of this article has a reference function to the design and development of low-temperature lead-acid batteries.

Abstract: Lead-acid batteries were widely used in many industries as important power supply devices for military and civil industries, transport and shipment devices owing to its advantages of low cost,high performance and safety. According to statistics, most lead-acid batteries can reach 1-2 years life under operating conditions, generating millions of used lead-acid batteries each year in China, which caused economic and environmental losses if not properly treated. The changes of physico-chemical properties in the process of operation of lead-acid battery were summarized in this paper. The corrosion and deformation of grids, water loss in electrolyte, aging of separators, corrosion of plates and irreversible sulfation were the main physico-chemical properties changes resulting in battery failure. In the homogeneous acidic medium, the grid of the lead-acid battery corroded away, one side was dotted distribution, and the other side was interlaced net shape. The corrosion of grids and incomplete reaction may lead to the water loss in electrolyte. What’s more, there existed a series of chemical reactions that reducing the battery capacity and leading to the failure of batteries, such as the aging and elastic collision of separators and irreversible sulfation. By analyzing the physico-chemical properties changes in the process of operation, the study supplied the direction for the specification of operating conditions and the extending of service life of lead-acid battery. The basic theories were provided for the repair, regeneration and recovery of lead-acid batteries.

Abstract: The hydrophilic carbon nanoparticles have been produced from synthetic graphite blocks by the electrochemical oxidation method in pure water. The resulting electrolyzed solution contains colloidal carbon nanoparticles (mean diameter is ca. 400 nm) and shows the pH value of around 2.5. The colloidal state of the solution is maintained more than a several years. After evaporation of water from the solution, carbon powders are obtained, which show a high solubility to water, namely the powder is hydrophilic. The electrolyzed solution containing carbon nanoparticles directly used as the electrical conductivity enhancer for the restoring the deteriorated lead-acid batteries by electrochemical method. The hydrophilic carbon nanoparticles were used as the environmental friendly solid-lubricant for the mechanical cutting coolants. In the case of aqueous coolants, the oily substances are used in the emulsion state in usual. By using the hydrophilic carbon nanoparticle suspension, no surfactants and no oily substances are required to maintain the suspension state. However, the cutting coolants are used in the pH values of alkaline state near 10, so the hydrophilic carbon nanoparticle solution has been neutralized by alkaline substances such as alkanolamines. In the case of oily cutting fluids for heavy duties, carbon mamo-particle powders are used after neutralized by basic barium dinonylnaphthalenesulfonate. The aqueous solutions of hydrophilic carbon nanoparticles exhibit the ability of sanitization effects to the cutting fluids and prolong the life times of them.

Abstract: For high-power applications such as electric motorcycles, batteries in series to provide the required voltage is fairly common. The 48V is 12V connected four cells in series for lead-acid batteries of electric motorcycles. After charging and discharging of lead-acid batteries several times, the voltages are often imbalance. Without proper protection, may cause an excessive discharge of lead-acid batteries for early damage. Therefore, lead-acid battery module requires a simple balance circuit to improve battery life in order to avoid over-voltage or under-voltage condition occurs. Energy balance circuit to improve lead-acid battery module matching problems, make the safety and cycle life of lead-acid batteries to improve. This research intends to complete balanced circuit design of lead-acid batteries.
