  4. Basic Requirements Of Primary Cell. • Compactness and lightweight. • Fabricated from easily available raw materials. • Economically priced. • High energy density and constant voltage. • Benign environmental properties • Longer shelf life and discharge period. • Leak proof containers and variety of design options. www.bookspar.com | Website for Students | VTU NOTES | QUESTION PAPERS

  5. Basic Requirements Of Secondary Cell. • Long shelf-life and cycle life. • High power to weight ratio • Short time for recharging • Tolerance to service condition. • High voltage & high energy density. www.bookspar.com | Website for Students | VTU NOTES | QUESTION PAPERS

  6. Primary Cells. • Produce electricity from chemicals that are sealed into it. • Cannot be recharged as the cell reaction cannot be reversed efficiently by recharging. The cell must be discarded after discharging. e.g. Zinc - manganese dioxide cell (Dry cell) Mercuric oxide – Zinc cell. Silver oxide – zinc cell. www.bookspar.com | Website for Students | VTU NOTES | QUESTION PAPERS

  7. Secondary Cells • Generation of electric energy, that can be restored to its original charged condition after its discharge by passing current flowing in the opposite direction. • These cells have a large number of cycles of discharging and charging. • They are known as rechargeable cells, storage cells, or accumulators. e.g. Lead storage cell. Nickel- cadmium cell. Lithium- ion batteries. www.bookspar.com | Website for Students | VTU NOTES | QUESTION PAPERS

  8. Differences Primary Batteries Secondary Batteries • Cell reaction is irreversible Cell reaction is reversible. • Must be discarded after use. May be recharged • Have relatively short shelf life Have long shelf life. • Function only as galvanic Functions both galvanic cells . Cell & as electrolytic cell. • They cannot be used as They can be used as energy storage devices storage devices (e.g. solar/ thermal energy converted to electrical energy) • They cannot be recharged They can be recharged. e.g. Dry cell.

  13. Applications: • In small portable appliances where small amount of current is needed. • In consumer electronic devices- quartz wall clocks, walkman etc. www.bookspar.com | Website for Students | VTU NOTES | QUESTION PAPERS

  14. Advantages. • Dry cell is cheap. • Normally works without leaking (leak proof cells). • Has a high energy density. • It is not toxic • It contains no liquid electrolytes. www.bookspar.com | Website for Students | VTU NOTES | QUESTION PAPERS

  15.

  21. Charging reactions • Cathode: PbSO4(s)+2H2O(l)→PbO2(s)+ SO42-(aq)+4H+(aq) +2e- • Anode : PbSO4(s) + 2e- → Pb(s)+ SO42-(aq) • Net:2PbSO4 (s)+ 2H2O(aq) → Pb(s)+ PbO2(s) +2H2SO4 www.bookspar.com | Website for Students | VTU NOTES | QUESTION PAPERS

  22. Limitations. • Self discharge: They are subject to self discharge with H2 evolution at negative plates and O2 evolution at positive plates. Pb +H2SO4 PbSO4 + H2 PbO2 + H2SO4 PbSO4 +H2O +1/2 O2 SO42- +2 H+ (From dissociation of water) H2SO4 H2O H+ +OH- • Loss of Water: Due to evaporation, self discharge and electrolysis of water while charging. Hence water content must be regularly checked and distilled water must be added. www.bookspar.com | Website for Students | VTU NOTES | QUESTION PAPERS

  23. Sulfation: If left in uncharged state, for a prolonged period, or operated at too high temperatures or at too high acid concentrations, transformation of porous PbSO4 into dense and coarse grained form by re crystallization. * This results in passivation of negative plates inhibiting their charge acceptance. www.bookspar.com | Website for Students | VTU NOTES | QUESTION PAPERS

  24. Corrosion of Grid: Can occur due to overcharging when grid metal gets exposed to the electrolyte. Thisweakens the grid and increases the internal resistance of the battery. • Effectiveness of battery is reduced at low temperature due to increase in the viscosity of electrolyte. www.bookspar.com | Website for Students | VTU NOTES | QUESTION PAPERS

  25. Recent years have seen the introduction of “maintenance – free batteries” without a gas – release vent. Here the gassing is controlled by careful choice of the composition of the lead alloys used i.e. by using a Pb-Ca (0.1 % ) as the anode which inhibits the electrolysis of water • Alternatively, some modern batteries contain a catalyst (e.g. a mixture of 98% ceria (cerium oxide) & 2% platinum, heated to 1000o C) that combines the hydrogen and oxygen produced during discharge back into water. Thus the battery retains its potency and requires no maintenance. Such batteries are sealed as there is no need to add water and this sealing prevents leakage of cell materials. www.bookspar.com | Website for Students | VTU NOTES | QUESTION PAPERS

  26. Applications. *Automative: For starting, lighting and ignition of IC engine driven vehicles. *Consumer Applications: Emergency lighting, security alarm system. *Heavy duty Application: Trains, lift trucks, mining machines etc. www.bookspar.com | Website for Students | VTU NOTES | QUESTION PAPERS

  27. Advantages: A lead storage battery is highly efficient. The voltage efficiency of the cell is defined as follows. Voltage efficiency = average voltage during discharge average voltage during charge The voltage efficiency of the lead – acid cell is about 80 %. The near reversibility is a consequence of the faster rate of the chemical reactions in the cell i.e. anode oxidizes easily and cathode reduces easily leading to an overall reaction with a high negative free energy change. www.bookspar.com | Website for Students | VTU NOTES | QUESTION PAPERS

  28. A lead – acid battery provides a good service for several years. Its larger versions can last 20 to 30 years, if carefully attended (i.e. longer design life) • It can be recharged. The number of recharges possible range from 300 to 1500, depending on the battery’s design and conditions. The sealed lead-acid batteries can withstand upto 2000 – rechargings. Generally the most costly, largest, heaviest cells are the longest–lived. • The battery’s own internal self – discharging is low. • The length of time that is generally required for re-charging process is less i.e. recharge time is 2-8 hours depending on the status of battery. www.bookspar.com | Website for Students | VTU NOTES | QUESTION PAPERS
