The invention belongs to the technical field of
electrochemical energy storage, and discloses an aqueous lead-
sulfur battery, which comprises a positive
electrode, a negative
electrode and an
electrolyte, the positive
electrode active material is PbSO4, the negative electrode active material is elemental
sulfur, and the
electrolyte is a mixed
aqueous solution containing Cu < 2 + > and
sulfuric acid; in the charging and discharging process, the positive electrode is subjected to PbSO4 / PbO2
conversion reaction, and the negative electrode is subjected to S / Cu2S
conversion reaction. According to the invention, the
sulfur negative electrode is designed to replace a negative electrode plate of the lead-acid battery and an original
electrolyte of the modified lead-acid battery, so that the problem of
sulfation of the negative electrode of the traditional lead-acid battery is fundamentally avoided, and the electrochemical properties such as cycle life and rate capability of the battery are greatly improved.
