The cost of raw materials in the electrode is high, and coating defects are one of the primary sources of waste in battery manufacturing. The current quality control process involves discarding defective coatings regardless of the type of defect and using only ideal electrode coatings, potentially contributing to excessive waste.
The shedding process occurs naturally as lead-acid batteries age. The lead dioxide material in the positive plates slowly disintegrates and flakes off. This material falls to the bottom of the battery case and begins to accumulate.
Lead shedding is a natural phenomenon that can only be slowed and not eliminated. The terminals of a battery can also corrode. This is often visible with the formation of white powder as a result of oxidation between two different metals connecting the poles. Terminal corrosion can eventually lead to an open electrical connection.
When hydrogen gas combines with oxygen in the atmosphere, it forms a corrosive substance around the battery terminals, which appears as a white, blue, or greenish powder. The electrolyte inside the battery can also contribute to corrosion if it leaks through cracks or spills during maintenance, exposing the terminals to acid.
Terminal corrosion can eventually lead to an open electrical connection. Changing the connecting terminals to lead, the same material as the battery pole of a starter battery, will solve most corrosion problems. The lead within a battery is mechanically active.
To our knowledge this is the first study to evaluate the impact of different types of coating defects on the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries under conditions that replicate state-of-the-art electrode coating and cell manufacturing. Cell testing was performed using a rigorous protocol to accelerate the degradation process.
