Technical White Paper on Lead Acid Batteries for Utility Energy Storage, published in Journal of Energy Storage. A very good review of the case for lead acid batteries including bipolar, as factors such as energy density and specific energy are less critical for static , non mobile applications. Lead acid offers many advantages in recyclability, performance, cost, etc. The work at Integral on conductive polymer Electriplast plates is briefly mentioned in Section 2.3.5, but indicates published data is needed. Advanced Battery Concepts is also discussed, who has worked with Electriplast.
I'm not claiming that the paper is a huge endorsement for Electriplast before the negative naybobs start in, but the white paper is a good overview and a compelling case for lead acid in utility storage for renewable energies such as solar and wind. There is also NO WAY Integral paid for a mention in an academic paper like this, sorry, it doesn't work that way in academia.
