Researchers at Japan’s National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) and the NIMS-SoftBank Advanced Technologies Development Center have developed a lithium-air battery with an energy density of more than 500 Wh/kg—significantly higher than currently lithium ion batteries.

The new work, published in Science , shows that four-electron conversion for lithium-oxygen electrochemistry is highly reversible. The Waterloo team is the first to achieve four-electron conversion, which doubles the electron storage of lithium-oxygen, also known as lithium-air, batteries. —Linda Nazar. Resources.

Now, researchers at Arizona State University, with colleagues at Rice University, have used a 3-dimensional layer of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), or silicone, as the substrate of lithium metal anode to mitigate dendrite formation. —Wang et al.

A commercial breakthrough of the next generation of, for example, lithium air-based batteries is still distant and not considered in this paper. From US$230 per kWh, costs need to fall a further third to reach US$150 per kWh. How likely is it that annual cost reductions of roughly 8% among leading manufacturers can continue?
