| Description |
Lightweight plastic grids for lead/acid battery plates have been prepared from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymer. The grids
have been coated with a conductive and corrosion-resistant tin oxide layer by a novel rapid thermally activated chemical reaction
process. X-ray powder diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy show the coated tin oxide film to be SnO2-like. The grids
are about 75% lighter than conventional lead/acid battery grids. A 6 V/1 Ah lead/acid battery has been assembled and characterized
employing positive and negative plates made from these grids. The energy density of such a lead/acid battery is believed to be
more than 50 Wh/kg.
