Investigations of the negative plate of lead/acid cells 3. Model calculations of the impedance of self-similar porous electrodes
article
In this paper a model for the calculation of the admittance (reciprocal impedance) of a porous metal electrode is derived, under anodic constant-current conditions, during precipitation of an insoluble salt at the metal/electrolyte interface. An example of the discharge, at low current density, of the negative plate in a lead/sulphuric acid battery during which lead sulphate is formed. The discussion is based on the assumption that porosity has a self-similar fractal character. The impedance of fractal electrodes will be discussed in terms of geometrical and physical parameters. © 1994.
