OSU hybrid “solar battery” uses photo-assisted charging to improve performance of Li-air batteries; “negative overpotential”

Green Car Congress

Researchers at The Ohio State University have developed a novel strategy to improve the efficiency and performance of non-aqueous lithium-oxygen (Li-air) batteries. O 2 systems require an open system to obtain oxygen from the air; Li metal must also be used as the metal electrode to provide the lithium source. Earlier post.).
