Abstract:The research progress of grid materials for lead-acid batteries at home and abroad was reviewed. This paper mainly introduces the related research results of lead antimony alloy, lead calcium alloy, lead graphite and lead graphene alloy, lead rare earth alloy, and light composite material as battery grid. Lead antimony alloy containing cadmium or arsenic will be limited as grid. Lead calcium alloy needs to explore a fifth cheap alloy agent besides tin and aluminum additives to improve its performance. The new lead graphene alloy, lead graphite alloy and lead rare earth alloy show excellent properties and need further study. Light aluminum substrate grid material has great research value. How to improve the adhesion between coating and aluminum substrate is a difficult problem.
