Energy Storage, Lithium Air, Low Cost and Polymer

New aqueous rechargeable lithium battery shows good safety, high reliability, high energy density and low cost; another post Li-ion alternative

The battery shows an energy density of up to 446 Wh kg -1 —about 80% higher than conventional Li-ion batteries, and much higher than energy densities reported for earlier ARLBs (30–45 Wh kg -1 ). The coating of the Li metal consists of a home-made gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) and a LISICON film. Higher energy efficiency.

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.
