To extend the applications of graphene and improve the cyclic life of valve-regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries applied in hybrid electric vehicles, graphene has been added to negative active materials of the VRLA batteries.
The superior electrochemical performance could be ascribed to the inhibition effect of graphene on the growth of lead sulfate. Therefore, graphene can be a promising negative additive for VRLA batteries. Keywords:Graphene; Cycle life; Valve-regulated lead-acid batteries; Negative active material; High- rate partial-state-of-charge 1. INTRODUCTION
However, every type of carbon material has a different impact. Furthermore, the mechanism of performance improvement must be clarified. In the present work, graphene was added into a negative active material (NAM) used in a battery cell. The cell was tested under a partial state of charge condition at an extreme discharge cycle.
The test results show that the low-temperature performance, charge acceptance, and large-current discharge performance of the batteries with graphene additives were significantly improved compared to the control battery, and the cycle life under 100% depth of discharge condition was extended by more than 52% from 250 to 380 cycles.
To overcome the problem of sulfation in lead-acid batteries, we prepared few-layer graphene (FLG) as a conductive additive in negative electrodes for lead-acid batteries. The FLG was derived from synthetic graphite through liquid-phase delamination.
