Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A paste suitable for a negative plate of a lead-acid battery, the paste comprising lead oxide and carbon black, wherein the carbon black has the following properties: (a) a BET surface area between about 100 and about 2100 m 2 /g; and (b) an oil adsorption number (OAN) in the range of about 35 to about 360 cc/100 g, provided that the oil absorption number is less than the 0.14×the BET surface area+65.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A paste suitable for a negative plate of a lead-acid battery, the paste comprising lead oxide and carbon black, wherein the carbon black has the following properties: (a) a BET surface area between about 600 and about 2100 m 2 /g; and (b) an oil adsorption number (OAN) in the range of about 80 to about 250 cc/100 g. 2. The paste of claim 1 , wherein the carbon black loading is about 0.5 to about 10 wt % relative to the lead oxide. 3. The paste of claim 1 , wherein the carbon black has an oil adsorption number (OAN) in the range of about 80 to about 200 cc/100 g. 4. The paste of claim 1 , wherein the carbon black has a water adsorption in the range of about 1×OAN to about 1.5×OAN cc/100 g. 5. The paste of claim 1 , wherein the carbon black has an average primary particle size of about 8 to about 20 nm. 6. The paste of claim 1 , wherein the carbon black has an average aggregate size of about 35 to about 150 nm. 7. The paste of claim 1 , wherein the carbon black has an average agglomerate size between about 0.5 and about 10 microns. 8. The paste of claim 1 , wherein the carbon black has been modified to comprise surface sulfate or sulfonate groups. 9. A negative plate for a lead-acid battery produced from the paste of claim 1 . 10. A lead-acid battery comprising a negative plate produced from the paste of claim 1 .
