Ford favoring bulk-type solid-state battery for next-gen energy storage

Green Car Congress

A Li-air battery, with its air cathode, is a low-cost system, Anandan said. However, key drawbacks to the Li-air system are its relatively low practical energy density, low cycle life and the complexity of the system, Anandan said. It also offers a high theoretical specific energy density.
