OSU hybrid “solar battery” uses photo-assisted charging to improve performance of Li-air batteries; “negative overpotential”
Green Car Congress
OCTOBER 3, 2014
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. By utilizing solar energy, the device can be charged with a ‘negative’ overpotential, which is otherwise thermodynamically impossible. —Yu et al.
