Abstract

The carbon-based lead foam was produced by electrodepositing a uniform and dense lead coating on lightweight carbon foam in fluoborate system under appropriate conditions. The cyclic voltammetry showed that its electrochemical properties resembled the metallic pure lead. A lead acid battery equipped with the carbon-based lead foam as positive current collector undergone a charge–discharge test. The battery had a high discharge capacity and a good cycling stability, which indicated that the carbon-based lead foam could serve as positive current collector. The three-dimensional net structure of carbon-based lead foam provides larger surface area than traditional lead alloy grids, thus enhances the specific capacity of lead acid battery. The carbon-based lead foam might be a promising substitute for lead alloy grids.
