Does lead-acid battery belong to electrochemical energy storage
A lead-acid battery system is an energy storage system based on electrochemical charge/discharge reactions that occur between a positive electrode that contains lead dioxide (PbO 2 ) and a negative electrode that contains spongy lead (Pb). The electrolyte allows electric charge to move between the anode and cathode during battery use. The. . When discharging and charging lead-acid batteries, certain substances present in the battery (PbO2, Pb, SO4) are degraded while new ones are formed and vice versa. Mass is therefore converted in both directions. First invented in 1859 by French physicist Gaston Planté, it was the first type of rechargeable battery ever created.
