PhD ThesisThis project was initiated in order to investigate the basic
electrochemistry of Pb/PbSO 4
in sulphuric acid. Very little has appeared
in the literature on this subjectt workers have been concerned with the
PbSO4
/PbO
2 region, as can be seen from the literature survey in Chapter 5.
However, in the last few years interest has increased in the lead acid
battery and I hope this thesis will help further technical advance.
The first four chapters review basic background material against
which the measurements were made. The following chapters then describe
the experimental work and finally some attempt is made to link the basic
electrochemistry to the working of a battery
