What is a Technology Strategy assessment on lead acid batteries?
This technology strategy assessment on lead acid batteries, released as part of the Long-Duration Storage Shot, contains the findings from the Storage Innovations (SI) 2030 strategic initiative.
What is a lead-acid battery?
The lead-acid (PbA) battery was invented by Gaston Planté more than 160 years ago and it was the first ever rechargeable battery. In the charged state, the positive electrode is lead dioxide (PbO2) and the negative electrode is metallic lead (Pb); upon discharge in the sulfuric acid electrolyte, both electrodes convert to lead sulfate (PbSO4).
How can battery engineering support long-duration energy storage needs?
To support long-duration energy storage (LDES) needs, battery engineering can increase lifespan, optimize for energy instead of power, and reduce cost requires several significant innovations, including advanced bipolar electrode designs and balance of plant optimizations.
