A lead-acid battery has three main parts: the negative electrode (anode) made of lead, the positive electrode (cathode) made of lead dioxide, and an electrolyte of aqueous sulfuric acid.
The preparation process for the positive electrode of lead-acid batteries is as follows [7]: Firstly, the blank electrode is mechanically mixed with lead powder, short fibers, deionized water, and sulfuric acid (1.41 g mL −1) in a mass ratio of 100:0.13:11.55:1.14 for 30 min to form a uniform wet lead paste. Then, the resulting lead paste is evenly applied to the grid.
Soluble lead-acid flow battery. Honeycomb-shaped positive electrode. Cycling. 1. If it is very likely that the poor cyclability of the cell is directly related to the passivation of the positive electrode upon discharge, the origin of the latter is, however, not clear.
Smooth (unpasted) PbO 2 electrodes are passivated after thermal treatment, indicating that such passivation occurs in the region of the grid/corrosion layer phase boundary. Concurrent with the passivation process, however, a synproportionation reaction occurs between the Pb grid and the PbO 2 corrosion layer, which decreases the discharge capacity and
A lead-acid battery stored in an acid-starved condition, rather than in a totally flooded state, shows a well-behaved and predictable decline in open-circuit voltage with time.

These were also studied as current collectors for the positive electrode. Promising cycle life improvement with capacity enhancement of 13% compared to the nominal value and utilization efficiency of up to 50% for positive electrodes was witnessed after a test of 500 cycles [138, 139].
Thus, the resistivity of the corrosion layer increases and passivation occurs. Parallel with the liquid phase reaction, and independent of the acid concentration, a solid-state reaction takes place. The latter results in the formation of PbO in the corrosion layer and, as a

Since several years, lead calcium-based alloys have supplanted lead antimony alloys as structural materials for positive grids of lead-acid batteries in many applications, especially for VRLA batteries. Nevertheless, the positive grid corrosion probably remains one of the causes of rapid and premature failure of lead-acid batteries.

The results confirm that passivation of the positive grid and rapid decline in the initial discharge voltage are due to a resistive layer of PbSO 4, Practical positive grid electrodes were made from lead–antimony alloys and were taken from lead–acid battery production lines.

The lead-acid battery electrolyte and active mass of the positive electrode were modified by addition of four ammonium-based ionic liquids. In the first part of the experiment, parameters such as corrosion potential and current, polarization resistance, electrolyte conductivity, and stability were studied.

One of them is the addition of a corrosion inhibitor. Substances such as H 3 PO 4, H 3 BO 3, and several surfactants were successfully applied in lead-acid battery (LAB) for this purpose [1, 15, 16]. Recently, it has been found that addition of ionic liquids also decreases the corrosion rate [17, 18, 19].
The main drawbacks of lead-acid batteries include low specific energy, reaching only 40 Wh kg −1, and corrosion of current collectors (grids) made of lead alloys [4, 5, 6, 7]. Corrosion affects mostly positive grid and thus causes shedding of the active mass out of its surface. In consequence, decrease of cell capacity occurs.
