Current Collector Structure and Methods to Improve the Performance of a Lead-Acid Battery

摘要

A current collector of a battery includes a reticulated substrate having a circuitous network of pores and a metal applied to at least a portion of the reticulated substrate. The reticulated substrate may be a non-metal foam substrate, such as, for example, a carbon foam substrate, a reticulated vitreous carbon substrate or a graphite foam substrate.
