The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) will award $8 million to help develop or commercialize 19 advanced energy storage projects. The 19 projects, which include two lithium-air efforts, will leverage $7.3 million in cost-sharing by recipients for a total of $15.3 Murray, Jr.,

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 ). If anode materials of lower redox potentials can be stable in aqueous electrolytes, high energy density systems will be feasible.
