Lithium-air batteries are looked to by many as a very high-energy density next-generation energy storage solution for electric vehicles. One reaction that hasn’t been fully explained is how oxygen blows bubbles inside a lithium-air battery when it discharges. The paper is published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology.

Researchers at startup Liox Power, a California-based company developing rechargeable Li-air batteries, have demonstrated for the first time the operation of a lithium-air battery with a Li anode in a straight-chain alkyl amide electrolyte solvent (N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA)/lithium nitrate (LiNO 3 )).

Lithium-air (or lithium-oxygen) batteries potentially could offer three times the gravimetric energy of current Li-ion batteries (3500 Wh/kg at the cell level); as such, they are looked to a potential solution for long-range EVs.

In the near-term (2012-2017), DOE sees an opportunity to more than double the battery pack energy density from 100 Wh/kg to 250 Wh/kg through the use of new high-capacity cathode materials, higher voltage electrolytes, and the use of high capacity silicon or tin- based intermetallic alloys to replace graphite anodes. —Blueprint.

When it comes to volumetric energy density, iron–air batteries could perform even better with 9,700 Wh/l—almost five times higher than today’s lithium-ion batteries (2,000 Wh/l). Both establishments have been collaborating closely on various scientific areas since 2008. 2017.10.023.
