✦ Synopsis

The effect of crystal-structural hydrogen atoms and disorder on the electrochemical activity of lead dioxide in the positive plate of the lead/acid battery has long been the subject of conjecture and controversy. In this discussion, the evidence for the 'hydrogen-loss' model of battery failure is examined using results from a wide range of experimental techniques, and is found wanting.
