OSU hybrid “solar battery” uses photo-assisted charging to improve performance of Li-air batteries; “negative overpotential”

Green Car Congress

Researchers at The Ohio State University have developed a novel strategy to improve the efficiency and performance of non-aqueous lithium-oxygen (Li-air) batteries. Recently, redox shuttles, such as tetrathiafulvalene (TTF + /TTF), have been introduced in the battery electrolyte to address this poor charge transport issue.

Ohio State researchers use neutron depth profiling to track flow of Li atoms into and out of anode in real time

Green Car Congress

Using a neutron beam, chemists and engineers at The Ohio State University have been able to track the flow of lithium atoms into and out of an anode in real time as a Li-ion battery charged and discharged. This visualization shows the level of charge in the electrode rising and falling as the battery charges and discharges.
