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. Their hybrid design uses only three. Air passes freely through the gauze while the rods capture sunlight. We’ve integrated both functions into one device. —Yu et al.
