The invention discloses a colloidal
electrolyte for a lead-acid storage battery, which relates to the field of storage batteries. The
gel strength is an important factor reflecting the performance of a colloidal
electrolyte and is mainly influenced by the content of a gelling agent; and with the increment of the content of
fumed silica, the
gel time of an
electrolyte solution is greatly shortened and the difficulty for gel filling is caused. The colloidal electrolyte provided by the invention comprises a gelling agent,
sulfuric acid and
sodium sulfate, wherein the gelling agent comprises
fumed silica and disperse silica gels A and B with different particle sizes. The colloidal electrolyte is prepared from the disperse
silica gel with
large particle size, the disperse
silica gel with
small particle size and the
fumed silica, and an additive, namely the
sodium sulfate, contributing to the improvement of the electrochemical performance of the battery is added at the same time. On the promise of not increasing the content of
silicon in the colloidal electrolyte, the key performance of the colloidal electrolyte is broken through on the two aspects that firstly, the
gel strength is enhanced, and secondly, the
gel time is prolonged. Therefore, the pouring of the storage battery is facilitated, the performance of the colloidal electrolyte is improved, and the service life of the colloidal electrolyte is prolonged.
