New hybrid Li-ion/oxygen battery offers high energy and high power

Green Car Congress

A team at Sichuan University in China is proposing a novel lithium-ion/oxygen hybrid battery system that exploits the advantages and minimizes the disadvantages of both lithium-ion batteries (LIB) and lithium-oxygen batteries (LOB). In our view, based on current technologies, these problems will not be solved well for a long time.
