Conventional lithium-air batteries draw in oxygen from the outside air to drive a chemical reaction with the battery’s lithium during the discharging cycle, and this oxygen is then released again to the atmosphere during the reverse reaction in the charging cycle. volts to 0.24 —Zhu et al.

Lithium-air batteries form lithium peroxide (Li 2 O 2 )—a solid precipitate that clogs the pores of the electrode and degrades cell performance—as part of the charge−discharge reaction process. We have to learn how to design catalysts to understand exactly what’s involved in lithium-air batteries.

volt, and impressive rechargeability. While the results, reported in the journal Science , are promising, the researchers caution that a practical lithium-air battery still remains at least a decade away. volts, whereas 0.2 volts is closer to that of a Li-ion battery, and equates to an energy efficiency of 93%.
