IBM Almaden Lab Exploring Lithium-Air Batteries for Next-Generation Energy Storage

Green Car Congress

General schematic of a lithium-air battery. The team plans to explore rechargeable Lithium-Air systems, which could offer 10 times the energy capacity of lithium-ion systems. Lithium-ion rechargeable (secondary) batteries are based on a pair of intercalation electrodes. not rechargeable.

Jülich, ORNL researchers advance high energy density iron-air batteries

Green Car Congress

Using in-situ electrochemical atomic force microscopy ( in-situ EC-AFM) at the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences at ORNL, they were able to observe how deposits of iron hydroxide particles (Fe(OH) 2 ) form at the iron electrode under conditions similar to those prevalent during charging and discharging.
