Performance and use of composite substrate-based bipolar lead-acid batteries for pulsed power applications
article
A new type of composite substrate is proposed for constructing fast discharge bipolar lead/acid batteries. This newly developed substrate, used for constructing 4 V bipolar lead/acid batteries, displays no corrosion and a very low catalytic effect for both hydrogen and oxygen evolution. The specific resistance is 1.2 Ω cm while the areal resistance is 0.04 Ω cm2. The active layers are formed by the Planté formation method, both in situ and ex situ. For pulsed-power applications, where energy is quickly transferred to an inductor, a model calculation is given for deriving the required ratio of the specific power and the specific energy. © 1997 Published by Elsevier Science S.A.
