Lead acid battery separator materials have progressed significantly over the history of this workhorse chemistry and is a good indicator of the arrow of progress of the entire field. The first lead acid separators were natural rubbers that had moderate porosity (∼55–65 %) with more sizes on the order of 1–10 μm.
Lead acid batteries pose the following challenges to a separator. Both anode and cathode are subject to shape change and possible embrittlement, so the separator must be compliant enough to accommodate this type of change while also preventing material crossover.
As a result separators were no longer the age-limiting mechanisms for lead acid batteries, and conductivity effectively doubled again. Polyethylene systems improved the overall porosity to levels previously realized by natural rubber systems while maintaining the mechanical advantages of PVC.
The first lead acid separators were natural rubbers that had moderate porosity (∼55–65 %) with more sizes on the order of 1–10 μm. These separators were on the order of 500 μm thick. These systems suffered aging and embrittlement problems, and the separator was often the point of failure for these batteries.
The charging of a lead-acid battery consists of reprocessing the cells, i.e. amorphous lead sulphate becomes sulphuric acid again and the plates are reconstituted. ▷ What are the benefits of battery regeneration? What is a sulphated battery? When in its amorphous state, lead sulphate crystallizes over time and settles on the battery plates.
Early attempts to incorporate recombination into lead-acid batteries were unsuccessful because of excessive cost, size, and/or complexity, and none were effectively commercialized. Over the past 20 years, recombination systems have been developed and are undergoing an extensive program of definition and refinement at many battery companies.
