This hydrogen evolution, or outgassing, is primarily the result of lead acid batteries under charge, where typically the charge current is greater than that required to maintain a 100% state of charge due to the normal chemical inefficiencies of the electrolyte and the internal resistance of the cells.
Hydrogen evolution impacts battery performance as a secondary and side reaction in Lead–acid batteries. It influences the volume, composition, and concentration of the electrolyte. Generally accepted hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) mechanisms in acid solutions are as follows:
In the past two decades, there has been a significant increase in the research and development of external recombinant catalyst technology as a primary mechanism for reducing the problems associated with hydrogen gas evolution in flooded lead acid batteries.
Figure 1 shows the single electrode potentials of flooded lead acid batteries at the x-axis of the diagram, the positive electrode range on the right (+1.7 V), and the negative-electrode range on the left side (-0.23V).
In fact, flooded lead acid batteries will outgas at varying rates under almost all conditions, even in storage where minor amounts of gas will be produced due to the normal evaporation of water and the tendency to self-discharge.
Under the cathodic working conditions of a Lead–acid battery (−0.86 to −1.36 V vs. Hg/Hg 2 SO 4, 5 mol/L sulfuric acid), a carbon electrode can easily cause severe hydrogen evolution at the end of charge. This can result in thermal runaway or even electrolyte dry out, as shown in Fig. 5.
