CHEMISTRY, ELECTROCHEMISTRY, AND ELECTROCHEMICAL APPLICATIONS | Lead

In this article, the chemical properties and thermodynamics of lead and its electrochemically important compounds are briefly described. Electrochemical behavior of lead and its technologically significant compounds, mainly oxides, in different media is reviewed, with special emphasis on voltammetric characteristics. More attention was paid to lead–acid batteries: construction, electrochemical properties, performance limitations, and new trends in the development of lead batteries.
