Abstract: A lead-acid battery according to the invention contains an electrode grid structure that comprises dispersoid-containing lead having relatively high strength and good corrosion resistance. The dispersoid particles exemplarily are selected from the oxides, nitrides and carbides that are substantially insoluble in lead and in sulfuric acid of concentration suitable for use in a lead-acid battery. Significantly, the dispersoid-containing lead has average grain size of at least 20 .mu.m. In consequence of the relatively large grain size, the total length of grain boundaries exposed to electrolyte is relatively small, and corrosion resistance is improved. Exemplary techniques for forming the dispersoid-containing lead are disclosed.

Abstract: Metal hydrides are activated by an electrochemical procedure. In this procedure, a bulk sample of the corresponding metal is immersed in an aqueous electrolyte and contacted by a cathode. Current passed through the aqueous electrolyte causes electrolysis of the water and a concomitant reaction with the formation of metal hydride. As a result, the metal hydride is fractured and smaller particles result. Additionally, the resulting metal hydride has a substantial amount of absorbed hydrogen. A novel plating method, taking advantage of the reducing power of hydrogen absorbed in a metal hydride, is useful to encapsulate such metal hydride with a variety of metals. Therefore, such hydrides are uniformly coated by using plating solutions without the standard reducing agent and stabilizer.
