Ultimately, it shows a way to all-but unlimited clean electricity. If you are excited about electric vehicles, this is great news. One of the biggest complaints about electric cars is that they supposedly require the increased consumption of coal and other fossil fuels to power them. And that future is all electric.

Making the switch to an all-electric vehicle takes a bit of a leap of faith. Many of us had our first electric vehicle experience with cheap radio-controlled toys that ran on a couple of D batteries before quickly growing wobbly and unresponsive. This doesn’t just kick in once the battery is totally depleted.

An international team from MIT, Argonne National Laboratory and Peking University has demonstrated a lab-scale proof-of-concept of a new type of cathode for Li-air batteries that could overcome the current drawbacks to the technology, including a high potential gap (>1.2 V) volts, so only 8% of the electrical energy is turned to heat.
