The battery, which can be low cost and reliable in terms of safety, provides another chemistry for post Li-ion batteries, they suggest, and with higher practical energy densities than Li-air systems for supporting applications including electric vehicles and large-scale grid energy storage. Its average discharge voltage is about 4.0

Since the efficiency of electric propulsion systems (battery-to-wheels) are about 90%, a 10-fold improvement of the current energy densities of Li-ion batteries, which are typically between 100 and 200 Wh/kg (cell level), would bring electric propulsion systems on-par with gasoline, at least as measured by gravimetric energy density.

While the results, reported in the journal Science , are promising, the researchers caution that a practical lithium-air battery still remains at least a decade away. This battery cycles via LiOH formation, not Li 2 O 2 , and is able to tolerate large quantities of water. volt, and impressive rechargeability. —Liu et al.
