Definitions
- the instant disclosure or invention is directed to new or improved battery separators, components, batteries, systems, electrodes, and/or related methods of production and/or use, to a battery separator with carbon or mineral additives for use in a lead-acid battery, to carbon and mineral additives, and to batteries including such separators or carbon and/or mineral additives.
- the instant disclosure relates to new or improved lead-acid battery separators and/or methods of manufacture and/or use thereof.
- the instant disclosure is directed toward a new or improved lead-acid battery separator with carbon or mineral additives and/or methods for constructing lead-acid battery separators and batteries with such carbon and/or mineral additives for enhancing the lead-acid energy storage performance, reducing lead content, and/or improving charge rate, reserve capacity, charge acceptance, cycle life, and/or the like.
- the hybrid electric vehicle's (HEV's) battery may operate in a PSoC, for example, at approximately 50 to 80% charge.
- the battery may undergo shallow charge/recharge cycles, and may not undergo overcharge where dissociation of water evolves hydrogen and oxygen that mixes stratified acid within the cell.
- the lead-acid battery is an excellent storage medium for energy, but one of the limitations may be the ability of the battery or battery chemistry to accept charge rapidly, particularly when the battery is at a high state of charge. In PSoC applications, this rapid charge may come from the use of regenerative braking, which may recover much of the energy used in slowing the vehicle. For this reason, the battery may typically be operated at a lower state of charge. In other applications, the battery may operate under highly demanding service conditions; in these instances incomplete charging is routine and may be difficult to avoid. For example, in developing regions of the world, the use of power inverter battery systems is common due to power grid instability. In these instances, battery charging from a discharged state may be solely dependent on unpredictable power grid availability.
- the electrolyte as well as the active materials within the electrode plates (for example, PbO, et al.), take part in the electrochemical reaction.
- lead sulfate is attracted to the negative electrode and is precipitated in the form of seed-crystals.
- the plate is termed "sulfated" as the crystal formation is irreversible.
- the ability of the negative electrode to accept charge may be dramatically reduced and eventually end of life of the battery may be reached.
- the battery separator is a component that divides, or "separates", the positive electrode from the negative electrode within a lead-acid battery cell.
- a battery separator may have two primary functions. First, a battery separator should keep the positive electrode physically apart from the negative electrode in order to prevent any electronic current passing between the two electrodes. Second, a battery separator should permit an ionic current between the positive and negative electrodes with the least possible resistance.
- a battery separator can be made out of many different materials, but these two opposing functions have been met well by a battery separator being made of a porous nonconductor.
- the instant invention addresses the above mentioned needs, issues or problems and provides new or improved battery separators for lead-acid batteries.
- the instant disclosure or invention is directed to new or improved battery separators, components, batteries, systems, electrodes, and/or related methods of production and/or use, to a battery separator with carbon or mineral additives for use in a lead-acid battery, to carbon and mineral additives, and to batteries including such separators or carbon and/or mineral additives.

- the battery separator may include a carbon or mineral additive applied to the separator and/or added to the battery.
- the battery separator may include engineered carbon materials applied to the battery separator to modify sulfate crystal formation while addressing the detrimental consequences of excessive gas evolution into the negative electrode itself.
- a method of enhancing the energy storage performance of a lead- acid battery may include delivering carbon to the negative active material surface of the battery separator where the carbon may enhance charge acceptance and may improve life cycle performance of a lead-acid battery.
- an improved battery separator and/or battery reduces required lead content, reduces separator electrical resistance (ER), increases cycle life, adds conductive material, increases cold cranking amperage (CCA) efficiency, increases open circuit voltage (OCV), minimizes entrapped gas, increases reserve capacity, improves capacitance properties, improves utilization of active material, reduces energy consumption, reduces negative plate diffusion, and/or the like.
- ER separator electrical resistance
- CCA cold cranking amperage
- OCV open circuit voltage
- minimizes entrapped gas increases reserve capacity, improves capacitance properties, improves utilization of active material, reduces energy consumption, reduces negative plate diffusion, and/or the like.
- the negative electrode may be critical to charge acceptance phenomena.
- the negative electrode may be considered the limiting component within an SLI battery in terms of Cold Cranking Amperage (CCA).
- CCA Cold Cranking Amperage
- the negative electrode may produce sulfuric acid electrolyte as the positive electrode consumes acid electrolyte.
- the negative electrode should constitute a porous structure allowing free adsorption of electrolyte during charge cycles.
- the negative electrode should not become porosity-hindered in such a manner as to restrict the release of electrolyte during the discharge cycle.
- lead sulfate is attracted to the negative electrode and is precipitated in the form of seed-crystals.

- the present invention may utilize engineered carbon materials (by way of example, carbon black, graphite, activated carbon, and so forth) applied to the battery separator (such as a coating, surface treatment or layer, and/or provided in the separator material adjacent the negative plate) to modify sulfate crystal formation while addressing the detrimental consequences of excessive gas evolution into the negative electrode itself.
- Engineered carbons such as carbon black, graphite and activated carbon have, in the past, found some commercial use as a component of the negative active material (NAM) of a negative electrode (or anode) itself used in a lead-acid battery.
- NAM negative active material
- the engineered carbon materials are added to the paste or material used to form the negative electrode or anode.
- these carbon additives may slow the sulfation effect (the sulfate crystal growth on the anode) under PSoC conditions.
- sulfate crystal growth on the anode may be directly influenced by available surface area (nucleation sites) within the plate. Increased surface area (which is provided by the engineered carbon materials applied to the anode) may provide a driving force for the establishment of smaller, less stable sulfate crystals that ultimately have less impact on the porous nature of the negative electrode.
- the negative electrode may produce gas as the over-potential of hydrogen is reached; the evolution of gas may be well understood as evidenced by numerous commercial battery designs to control gas.
- high surface area carbons are introduced directly into the NAM of the negative electrode or anode, acceleration of gas evolution may occur.
- the typical gas evolution may be dramatically increased and gas may be liberated within the porous plate structure of the negative electrode.
- gas may be introduced into the interstitial region of the electrode, which may result in insufficient electrolyte penetration, increased corrosion of the grids, increased consumption of water from the electrolyte, increased ionic resistance (as the gas is an insulator), reduced performance of the lead-acid battery, the like, or combinations thereof.
- charge acceptance may be limited due to the blocking effect of trapped gas; and one problematic situation (sulfate crystal growth on the anode) has been substituted for another (excessive gas evolution into or within the anode).
- the inventors of the present disclosure discovered it may be advantageous to add carbon materials, such as engineered carbon materials, to a battery separator, which separator is used in a lead-acid battery.
- the carbon material is added to the negative active material (NAM) surface of the battery separator, meaning the surface of the separator that will come into contact with the negative electrode or anode.
- NAM negative active material
- Adding one or more carbon materials to a battery separator in accordance with the invention described herein means that the carbon material is not being added, by way of example only, to a monolithic negative electrode itself and rather is being added to the battery separator.
- Various improvements may be realized from doing so, including, but not limited to: carbon material is no longer taking up space that could be better reserved for the negative active material (NAM) of the electrode itself; and/or the gas evolution effect in the negative electrode is dramatically reduced.
- NAM negative active material
- carbon materials for example, engineered carbon materials are added to a battery separator for use in a lead-acid battery, in accordance with various
- carbon materials such as engineered carbon materials
- NAM negative active materials
- a battery separator according to the present invention may result in increased overall performance of a lead-acid battery because the battery's power is not being sacrificed by the use of carbon materials as part of the negative electrode itself.
- Such battery improvement can be manifested, by way of example, in an improved level of cold cranking amps (CCA) compared with batteries using traditional separators without the addition of the carbon materials described herein.
- CCA cold cranking amps
- the battery separator may be made of polyolefin, for example, polyethylene, polypropylene, combinations thereof, and the like.
- the battery separator may be laminated to another layer comprising, by way of example, a glass layer, a polymer layer (such as polyester), a nonwoven layer, or the like.
- the laminate comprising, for example, a polyolefin battery separator and another layer, such as a nonwoven layer, will be intimately coupled with the negative electrode, and once gas evolution takes place in the lead-acid battery, the gas moves more into the pores of the nonwoven layer and therefore does not reside primarily in the pores of either the negative electrode or the polyolefin battery separator.
- the addition of the carbon additive(s) and/or mineral additive(s) described herein to the negative active material surface of a battery separator for use in a lead-acid battery may result in: a modification of the sulfate crystal growth or formation in the battery system; a decrease in the excessive gas evolution in the system; an enhanced ability of the lead-acid battery to accept charge; and/or an improvement in the cycle life and/or performance of the lead-acid battery.
- Carbon materials suitable for use with battery separators according to the present invention may include, but are not limited to:
- Desired surface area of carbon forms that may be used in conjunction with embodiments discussed herein include, but are not limited to: greater than 10 sqm/g; and/or greater than 500 sqm/g; and/or greater than 1500 sqm/g; and/or greater than 3000 sqm/g; and/or greater than 5000 sqm/g.
- the surface area (BET method) of the carbon may be 10-5000 sqm/g; and/or 500-3000 sqm/g; and/or 1500-3000 sqm/g; or the like.
- the additive material such as a carbon additive, is applied to the battery separator in a coating solution, paste, or slurry.
- a desired concentration of carbon black (a finely divided powder) in an aqueous slurry (or paste or dispersion solution) may include, but is not limited to:
- the slurry or coating solution may be aqueous and may include a surfactant, for example an ionic or a non-ionic surfactant.
- a surfactant may, for example, allow electrolyte to wet out the pores of a given separator more readily. This may lead to a higher CCA rating for a given battery, which may be desirable in various applications.
- a surfactant may include sodium dihexylsulfosuccinate.
- any number of surfactants may be used in accordance with the embodiments described herein.
- the surfactant may make up about 0.5 to about 10% by weight of the given coating solution/slurry/paste.
- the porous nature of the separator may allow for rapid adsorption of the carbon dispersion on the surface with negligible penetration of the carbon particles into the pore structure of the separator.
- the separator may be coated by numerous methods including gravure roller, reverse-gravure, slot-die methods, pneumatic spray methods, dip coating methods, paint brush, sponge application, the like, etc.
- the thickness of the carbon coating or layer may be adjusted to meet the design parameters of the electrode plate spacing in the battery. In general, coating thickness may be adjusted from sub-micron to several hundred microns.
- the method of drying the coated separator may involve many forms of energy to drive off excess water. For example, microwave, forced air ovens, convection ovens, infra-red energy, solvent evaporative drying, azeoptropic drying, the like, etc.
- the contact time required to dry the separator will vary by method, coating thickness and constitution and separator surface pattern and thermal properties.
- the instant disclosure proposes this scenario by means of deploying additives from alternative substrates.
- This disclosure discusses a preferred means of executing such deployment through the addition of, for example, a carbon additive to a battery separator, such as a polyethylene (PE) separator substrate, as opposed to such an additive being part of a negative electrode.
- PE polyethylene
- the benefit may be achieved by exchanging the volume previously required within the active material with additional active material. In essence, the battery may be rendered more robust through a simple increase in the density of active material due to the elimination of previously contained additives.
- additives onto adjacent or peripheral substrates such as separators, wicking retainer mats, spacer mats, woven and/or nonwoven material comprised of synthetic fiber or cellulosic fiber, or the like may effectuate these and other benefits and are contemplated herein.
- Gas evolution at the plate may proceed normally without excessive nucleation within the plate pores. Gas may nucleate on the separator coating where the buoyant force may carry the gas to the surface of the electrolyte in the case of a flooded L-A system.
- the separator may be coated with carbon on the side in direct contact with the negative plate (e.g., the NAM surface of the separator). In some cases, adequate pressure exists between the plate and the separator to maintain contact between [plate ⁇ ->coating ⁇ ->separator].
- the carbon additive may be employed on any profile or topological property present on the separator negative surface (e.g. ribs, mini-ribs, cross-ribs, land areas for later enveloping, etc.).
- various separators appropriate for use herein are equipped with ribs, which may keep distance or spacing between plates and keep plates apart and/or keep distance or spacing between the separator backweb and the plate.
- ribs are located on the inside of the pocket or envelope-style separator.
- separators contain cross-ribs, and such cross-ribs may be located on the surface of the separator that contacts the anode or negative electrode or plate.
- a binder may be part of the coating, slurry, paste, or solution that includes carbon and is added to a separator to improve the separator.
- the composition of the binder may be functional or inert. Latex, liquid rubber, starch solutions, acrylonitriles, acrylates, their derivatives, polyolefins, and the like are examples of binders.
- the binder is added independently to a separator and is not part of the coating, slurry, paste, or solution that includes carbon.
- the separator may include a layer of carbon chosen from the list of suitable carbon options.
- This layer may be added to the separator as a separate layer, preferably on the side intended to face the negative plate surface or the carbon may be embedded in the negative facing surface of the separator through any number of means including co-extrusion or embedding the carbon onto the surface mechanically during extrusion/calendaring/cooling operations. While not the preferable separator, these application methods could also lend themselves to enhancing microporous separators produced via technologies not in such widespread use as rubber or PVC.
- Carbon application may not be limited to the type of separator but can be administered for delivery through any number of means as long as it can achieve intimate contact with the surface of the negative plate active material and may be generally prevented from forming a direct conductive pathway between the positive and negative plates.
- a multi-layer or composite separator may have a carbon containing, conductive layer adjacent the negative plate and a second non-conductive layer adjacent the positive plate.
- the carbon may be dispersed through the volume of the separator if desired, in some instances depending on the carbon loading concentration and density toward the positive plate a nonwoven mat may be desirable between the carbon containing separator and the positive electrode to prevent undesirable self-discharge.
- nonwoven mat either alone or in conjunction with a customary separator, such as a polyethylene separator.
- Carbon may be applied to or as a component of the nonwoven.
- the carbon additives described herein may be applied in various ways, for example, applied with the pasting paper or mat that is applied directly to the surface of the battery plate either during plate manufacture or assembly. Carbon can be applied with the pasting paper, as a component or coating of the pasting paper, laminate or other structure whether intended to also function as paste adhesion unit. This material could be used as a pasting paper during the manufacture of the lead plates, laminated to the separator, assembled as a layer in addition to the separator or even used as the complete separator depending on the lead-acid battery design.
- the carbon may be simply added inside the pouch in bulk material form when a common envelope of separator is used to wrap an individual plate.
- the carbon is contained and intimately contacts the active material contained upon the surface of the negative plate.
- the negative plate may be coated in a mixture of carbon and oil or other binder as oxidative preventative and method of applying carbon directly to the surface of the negative active material for example.
- the plate as intended for use in such a battery design could also be contacted directly through exposure to a suspension or colloidal mixture of carbon and the like additives herein that will provide the desired results or, alternatively the carbon may be topically applied by spraying or by electrostatic powder coating methods in plate form as an integral part of the manufacturing process.
- the disclosure presented herein may provide a result that the carbon does not have to be a component of the negative active material to bring benefit.
- application of such carbon as part or whole of a layer added near to, imbedded within, or directly to the outer surface of the paste may provide benefits of charge acceptance and cycle life improvement while reducing the negative effects associated with increasing carbon composition of the negative active material. This may bring the benefit of added conductance to prevent isolation of lead sulfate discharge products at or near the surface of the negative active material.
- a separator coated with a solution or coating or paste containing the relevant carbon material may exhibit improved properties when compared with an uncoated separator without that coating of solution/coating/paste of the relevant carbon material.
- the relevant carbon material can be made into a free-standing, porous sheet of carbon and inserted into or next to the separator for use with a lead-acid battery.
- such a carbon sheet may include more than 50% carbon material, and/or more than 70% carbon material, and/or more than 80% carbon material, and/or more than 85% carbon material.
- a carbon sheet containing about 87% carbon may be used in conjunction with a separator described herein.
- carbon material may be placed somewhere else in the battery system and create, for example, unexpected benefits.
- Such carbon material may, in accordance with various
- embodiments herein be placed on a separator, next to a separator, inside the pocket or envelope of a separator, as a coating, as a sheet, as carbon-loading inside the pocket of envelope of a separator (meaning that loose carbon may be inside the pocket or envelope around the plate therein), and/or the like.
- Example 1 Application of Carbon to Polyethylene Lead-Acid Battery Separator
- Figure 1 (b) shows a battery separator for use in a lead-acid battery, for example, a polyethylene separator.
- the separator has a cross-ribbed shape (meaning it has major ribs as well as cross-ribs) and has a cut edge at the left which is open for insertion of a battery plate, a folded edge at the right, as well as top and bottom edges that have been closed by crimping or sealing or the like.
- the ribs may provide distance or separation for the battery separator.
- separators of many shapes may be used in embodiments herein.
- the polyethylene separator is not coated.
- Figure 1(a) shows a similar polyethylene separator for use in a lead-acid battery that has been coated with a coating of carbon black in accordance with embodiments described herein.
- an aqueous coating solution (or slurry or paste) of carbon black was prepared by incorporating 2-3% by weight of a surfactant, here sodium dihexylsulfosuccinate (commercially available from Cytec Industries Inc., Woodland Park, NJ) under the trade name of Aerosol MA-80.

- Figures 4 and 5 show the single cell charge acceptance after RC discharge after several weeks of cycling.
- Figure 5 contains data from four repetitive sets of test data for the experimental cell and separators (Carbon A-D) and the control cells and separators (Control A-D), while Figure 4 simply calls out one of the sets of data for Carbon C and Control C.
- the carbon-coated separators used in the cell to obtain the results for Carbons A-D performed better regarding single cell charge acceptance when compared to the uncoated Control A-D separators (see Figures 4 and 5).
- Figure 8 represents the results of various tests of the experimental and control cells mentioned above and shows the charge acceptance after various cycling periods of the cells made with the experimental, carbon-coated separator as well as with the control, un-coated separator.
- Figure 8 it can be seen that even when more than half of the battery's energy has been removed (as seen from the notation of greater than 50% DOD or depth of discharge), the charge acceptance of the cell improved over time and continued to improve even after successive cycling periods.
- the charge acceptance property improved, and the cell(s) using carbon-coated separator were better able to accept charge.
