Applications of Pb in Energy Harvesting
One cannot over-emphasize the importance of the Pb based battery to the overall
Pb market. And though Pb is still used for roofing, cable sheathing, electrowinning anodes, and other fabricated products, the 150-year history of the Pb battery
is of paramount importance to the industry. However, several new applications have
emerged based on the unique properties of the Pb atom with its relativistic effects
which make it somewhat unique. In truth without relativity, lead would be expected
