The present invention generally relates to electrodes for use in lead-acid battery systems, batteries and electrical storage devices thereof, and methods for producing the electrodes, batteries and electrical storage devices. In particular, the electrodes comprise active battery material for a lead-acid storage battery, wherein the surface of the electrode is provided with a coating layer comprising a carbon mixture containing composite carbon particles, wherein each of the composite carbon particles comprises a particle of a first capacitor carbon material combined with particles of a second electrically conductive carbon material. The electrical storage devices and batteries comprising the electrodes are, for example, particularly suitable for use in hybrid electric vehicles requiring a repeated rapid charge/discharge operation in the PSOC, idling-stop system vehicles, and in industrial applications such as wind power generation, and photovoltaic power generation.

Electrode and electrical storage device for lead-acid system

There is provided a method for producing a hybrid negative plate for a lead-acid storage battery which is improved in the production working efficiency and the productivity and enhances the quick charge and discharge characteristics and the discharge characteristics at a low temperature under PSOC of a lead-acid storage battery. A carbon mixture sheet produced by such a way that a carbon mixture prepared by mixing two types of carbon materials consisting of a first carbon material having electroconductivity and a second carbon material having capacitor capacitance and/or pseudocapacitor capacitance, and at least a binder, is adhered by pressure to the surface of a negative plate in a wet state, so that a hybrid negative plate is produced. The lead-acid storage battery provided with the hybrid negative plate is improved in the discharge characteristics.
