- Abstract: For decades, lead-acid batteries have been supplying power to electrical systems through redox reactions involving Pb and PbO2. However, the energy supply capacity is inherently constrained by low energy density and challenges associated with charge/discharge cycles. Studies have indicated that additions of C to the composition of the active mass improve the electrochemical properties of batteries. This work aims to produce, characterize the microstructure and evaluate the electrochemical properties of Pb-Carbon composites, comparing different types of C (graphite, graphene and xerogel). The samples were produced through powder metallurgy, pressed at 550 MPa and sintered at 320°C-48 h. The microstructure was characterized by XRD, SEM/EDS, and Vickers microhardness. Electrochemical analyses were evaluated through OCP, polarization, and cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements in a solution of 4.91 mol•L-1 of H2SO4. Microstructural characterizations revealed dispersions of C particles in the Pb matrix and an increase in the microhardness of the composites. Electrochemical analyses showed an increase in polarization resistance and a reduction in the corrosion rate compared to Pb. CV curves, demonstrated that C particles enhanced electrical conductivity for the formation of PbSO4 and PbO2, allowing greater absorption of electrical overpotentials when compared to Pb, thereby improving charge/discharge cycles in positive grids.
