Negative active material, method of manufacturing its material, and lead acid battery
View Patent ↗A negative active material is characterized by being prepared by adding a lignin having a unit structure represented by the formula (I) as the main structure to a lead oxide. Since the lignin of the formula (I) is added, the negative active material can be prevented from shrinkage due to charge/discharge.
