New additives to active masses of sealed lead storage battery

Effect of high-collated carbon clusters (HCC; soots containing fullerenes and nanopipes) on electrode pastes structure have been studied and their positive effect on characteristics of the obtained active masses has been shown. Effect of partial hydrophobization of negative active mass (NAM) on efficiency of the closed oxygen cycle has been studied. Positive effect of fluoroplastic addition to the NAM on the oxygen reduction rate across the negative electrode has been shown.
