In order to improve corrosion-resistance property of Pb-Ca alloy and increase the cycle life of lead acid batteries, the effect of Ce addition on electrochemical performances of Pb-Ca-Sn-Al alloy in sulfuric acid solution was investigated by means of AC voltammetry, anodic polarization curve, AC impedance and constant current corrosion. The results show that the corrosion resistance property of Pb-Ca-Sn-Al was improved by Ce, and the impedance of corrosion film on the alloy was also decreased by the cerium addition, which is favorable for easing PCL(-1) phenomenon. The cycle life of the sample batteries was improved obviously. So Pb-Ca-Sn-Al-Ce alloy is an excellent anodic grid material for valve-regulated lead-acid batteries.

Key words: lead acid batteries, Pb-Ca alloy, cerium, corrosion-resistance behavior
