Popis: Intermediate oxides are synthesized by heating fresh lead dioxide obtained from commercial positive plates of lead-acid batteries. These oxides are soaked in sulfuric acid with 1.28 s g under stirring for 1 h. The obtained powders are analyzed using X-ray diffraction and chemical analysis. The samples are discharged with a cathodic current of 1 mA in sulfuric acid with 1.28 s g, and the capacity is determined. It is found that lead dioxide obtained from PbO1.55 is more active than the fresh sample. It shows an increase in capacity of 17%. This is due to the increase in the quantity of structural water as given by the chemical and thermal analyses.
