New nanolithia cathodes may address technical drawbacks of Li-air batteries; scalable, cheap and safer Li-air battery system

Green Car Congress

Conventional lithium-air batteries draw in oxygen from the outside air to drive a chemical reaction with the battery’s lithium during the discharging cycle, and this oxygen is then released again to the atmosphere during the reverse reaction in the charging cycle. —Zhu et al. 2016.111.

U-M team uses new technique to provide in-depth understanding of dendrite growth on Li metal anodes

Green Car Congress

This work, published in an open-access paper in ACS Central Science , provides a level of detailed understanding that can help researchers take the next steps toward bringing Li metal anodes to commercial reality. However, the Li-metal electrodes in these next-generation batteries are especially prone to forming dendrites. 6b00260.
