New nanolithia cathodes may address technical drawbacks of Li-air batteries; scalable, cheap and safer Li-air battery system

Green Car Congress

Further, the cathode is automatically protected from O 2 gas release and overcharging through the shuttling of self-generated radical species soluble in the carbonate electrolyte. You need large auxiliary systems to remove the carbon dioxide and water, and it’s very hard to do this.” It also displays stable cycling performance (only 1.8%

And in a true smart grid, electric cars will not only be able to draw on electricity to run their motors, they will also be able to do the reverse: send electricity stored in their batteries back into the grid when it is needed. In effect, cars would be acting like tiny power stations. the biggest cuts anywhere in the world.
