PbO can be prepared by a solvothermal reaction of mixture of PbSO4 and PbO2 within methanol.
The prepared PbO can discharge a capacity of 165 mAh g−1 at 5 mA g−1.
The prepared PbO from “the spent” discharge a capacity of 170 mAh g−1 at 5 mA g−1.
This paper shows a new way for the recycle of spent lead acid battery.
