This study showed that using metal oxides as the oxygen electrode could potentially enable a lithium-air battery to maintain its performance over many cycles of operation. The observational method this team developed could have implications for studying reactions far beyond lithium-air batteries, Yang Shao-Horn, the Gail E.

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.

These 3D reconstructions show how dendritic structures that can short-circuit a battery form deep within a lithium electrode, break through the surface and spread across the electrolyte. This Article demonstrates the presence of subsurface structures within the lithium electrode that lie underneath the dendrites.
