Synthesis, identification and investigation of physical and chemical properties of BaTiO 3 nanostructures for use as a preservative of active materials in lead-acid batteries

In today's world, energy plays a very important and decisive role in the life of human societies, and the supply of energy and its correct use will be necessary to advance the goals of any society. Nowadays, clean and new energies have become a suitable alternative to fossil fuels based on many researches conducted by researchers in various sciences, which include hydrogen storage systems, supercapacitors, solar cells, batteries, etc. In this research, perovskite BaTiO 3 nanostructures were synthesized by using the sol-gel technique and various fuels such as maleic acid, sucrose, urea and L-cysteine amino acid. Various properties of BaTiO 3 were investigated with the help of XRD, FE-SEM, FT-IR, BET, TEM, VSM and DRS analyses. The intended nanostructure is supposed to be used as a holder of active materials in lead-acid batteries. Lead-acid batteries are a type of rechargeable battery that first was invented by Gaston Plante. Despite the low energy storage compared to its weight and volume, due to the low cost and high supply of these batteries, they are widely used in motor vehicles. Therefore, considering the high efficiency and importance of these batteries in the transportation industry, the current research on the effect of BaTiO 3 on the performance of lead-acid batteries will be important.
