The study was financially supported by BMW within the project ABILE (Air Batteries with Ionic Liquid Electrolytes). If these two parameters hold up in larger cells and can be sustained for a higher number of charging cycles, he added, Li-air batteries would indeed come closer to practical application.

A team at the University of Michigan (U-M) has used operando video microscopy to develop a comprehensive understanding of the voltage variations observed during Li metal cycling, which is directly correlated to dendrite growth. However, the Li-metal electrodes in these next-generation batteries are especially prone to forming dendrites.

Researchers at MIT, the University of Pittsburgh, and Sandia National Laboratories have used transmission electron microscope (TEM) imaging to observe the electrochemical oxidation of Li 2 O 2 , providing insights into the rate-limiting processes that govern charge in Li–O 2 cells. This provides insights into how to design the air electrode.
