Effect of surfactant and mineral additive on the efficiency of lead-acid battery positive …
The effect of Sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) and mineral additive on the performance of the lead-acid battery positive plate has been investigated. The addition of alumina-silicate to the positive paste and STPP to the electrolyte modifies the shape and size of PbO 2 crystals and improves the utilization of the positive active material (PAM).
