During discharge, Li ions meet with reduced oxygen on the surface of the Li x V 2 O 5 electrode forming Li 2 O 2 , which is decomposed upon recharge. The rechargeable Li?air Kendall Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering at MIT and the senior author of the paper, says.

Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a safe, extended cycling lithium-metal electrode for rechargeable Li-ion batteries by entrapping lithium metal within a porous graphene network (Li-PGN). What is different is that the electrode material that stores the Li is all-carbon for both the anode as well as the cathode.
