“…Hong et al found that the hydrogen evolution rate has been significantly suppressed by using the N doping carbon material; therefore, the charge acceptance and charge retention ability of the LCB have been markedly improved [104]. Further research should focus on the fundamental physical and chemical mechanisms of hydrogen evolution and inhibition, develop the advanced carbon materials and inhibitors, and offer the possibility of significantly improving LCB performances [103]. By modifying the carbon structures and adding hydrogen evolution inhibitors into carbon material, hydrogen evolution can be significantly suppressed.…”

Summary The lead–acid battery (LAB) has been one of the main secondary electrochemical power sources with wide application in various fields (transport vehicles, telecommunications, information technologies, etc.). It has won a dominating position in energy storage and load‐leveling applications. However, the failure of LAB becomes the key barrier for its further development and application. Therefore, understanding the failure modes and mechanism of LAB is of great significance. The failure modes of LAB mainly include two aspects: failure of the positive electrode and negative electrode. The degradations of active material and grid corrosion are the two major failure modes for positive electrode, while the irreversible sulfation is the most common failure mode for the negative electrode. Introduction of carbon materials to the negative electrodes of LAB could suppress sulfation problem and enhance the battery performance efficiently. This paper will attempt here to pull together observations made by previous research to obtain a more comprehensive and integrative view of LAB failure modes. Moreover, according to a detail investigation to the battery market, we have drawn an objective and optimistic conclusion of LAB prospect. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…For example, Zhao et al 8,9 demonstrated that adding Bi 2 O 3 , Ga 2 O 3 and In 2 O 3 can effectively suppress the HER rate at the negative plates with activated carbon additives and enhance the battery cyclability. Such HER inhibitors are usually introduced into negative plates by physical mixing or chemical depositing, 6 resulting in uneven distribution, which, to a certain extent, effects inhibition of HER and battery performance.In this work, we synthesize Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 modified activated carbon composite through a simple hydrothermal method, using Bi 2 (SO 4 ) 3 and AC as precursors.

Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 /Activated carbon (AC) composite is successfully synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method and investigated as an additive for lead-acid batteries for the first time. Remarkable inhibition of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is demonstrated on the optimized content of 4 wt% Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 /AC additive, which suppresses the hydrogen evolution current by 93.1% and increases the overpotential of HER by 230 mV. In addition, 2 V 7 Ah lead-acid module cell with 4 wt% Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 /AC additive maintains a lifespan up to 19637 cycles, confirming the feasibility to construct high performance lead-acid battery. The short cycle life of Valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery, especially at the high discharge rate or under high-rate partial-stateof-charge (HRPSoC) duty, is the main challenge for its hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and energy storage applications.1-3 Integrating appropriate content of carbon (activated carbon, carbon black, carbon nanotube and expanded graphite) into the negative-active-mass (NAM) of VRLA battery, has been demonstrated to be an effective way to alleviate the irreversible accumulation of lead sulfate on the negative plates, which is the major failure mode of VRLA battery, and thus improve HRPSoC performance.

To the best of our knowledge, Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 /AC as an additive to negative active mass for lead-acid battery has never been reported.

Rechargeable batteries are serving society and are continuing to develop according to application requirements. Recently, rechargeable batteries with high energy density, power density, stability, and rate performance, as well as low cost have attracted the attention of researchers globally. However, achieving all these merits in a single rechargeable battery system is difficult. Accordingly, many approaches are reported to improve the performance of different energy storage devices. Nevertheless, reports on a general research method to improve the performance of battery systems are still limited. Herein, the current progress of rechargeable batteries and the corresponding opportunities and challenges are summarized. The principles of electrochemical reactions for lead–acid batteries, metal–ion batteries, metal–sulfur batteries, and metal–air batteries are introduced and compared. The technological challenges in the development of rechargeable batteries on the basis of transports of electrons and ions are comprehensively analyzed. In particular, approaches for regulating electronic and ionic transports are comprehensively discussed for the enhancement of electrochemical performance. Some advanced energy storage materials with good electronic and ionic conductivities are also highlighted. Furthermore, several perspectives on potential research directions for the choice and design of high‐performance rechargeable batteries for practical application are proposed.
