charge cycle, K?O Researchers at Ohio State University (OSU) have demonstrated the concept of a potassium-air (K?O In a paper published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society , they reported a charge/discharge potential gap smaller than 50 mV at a current density of 0.16 Voltage curves of the first discharge?charge

During discharge and charge in UHV, Li ions reversibly intercalate/de-intercalate into/from the Li x V 2 O 5 electrode. Under ultra-high vacuum (UHV), they found that lithium intercalated into Li x V 2 O 5 while molecular oxygen was reduced to form lithium peroxide on Li x V 2 O 5 in the presence of oxygen upon discharge.

This translates to an energy enhancement ~4 times greater than the state-of-the-art lithium intercalation compounds such as LiCoO 2 (~600 W h kg electrode -1 , the researchers said. In that work, the carbon structures were more complex but only had about 70% void space. —Mitchell et al.

Carbon is seen as an attractive potential cathode material for aprotic (non-aqueous) Lithium-air batteries, which are themselves of great interest for applications such as in electric vehicles because of the cells’ high theoretical specific energy. For their study, they cycled carbon cathodes in Li?O

Argonne National Laboratory, which has contributed heavily to the research and development of Li-ion battery technology, is now pursuing research into Lithium-air batteries. Li-air batteries use a catalytic air cathode that converts oxygen to lithium peroxide; an electrolyte; and a lithium anode.
