Water contamination is generally considered to be detrimental to the performance of aprotic lithium–air batteries, whereas this view is challenged by recent contrasting observations. This has provoked ...

A new kind of lithium-oxygen battery, using glass nanoparticles of lithium oxides, could provide more energy, and much better stability and energy efficiency, report scientists. Lithium-air batteries ...

Nissan’s latest patents reveal major progress toward lithium-oxygen batteries—ultra-dense, next-generation cells that could ...

Researchers have designed a new lithium-air battery that works in a natural-air environment and still functioned after a record-breaking 750 charge/discharge cycles. Researchers at the University of ...

Boasting an energy density similar to that of gasoline, lithium-air (or lithium-oxygen) batteries may one day prove the panacea for the range-anxiety associated with electric vehicles. But first there ...

Scientists have created a battery whose technology in principle could power electric cars and other energy-hungry devices far better than current lithium-ion batteries, but it remains years away from ...

Lithium-air batteries sound too good to be true—using the oxygen available in the air to produce electricity. Theoretically, they could become serious competitors to lithium-ion batteries; but so far, ...

Relay Orbital Hybridization Boosts Lithium–Oxygen Battery Catalysis. Schematic illustration of phosphorus-doped MnMoO₄ hollow nanospheres enabling “relay orbital hybridization.” Internal Mo–P orbital ...

Ju Li, Zhi Zhu et. al. Lithium-air batteries are supposed to lead to lighter, longer-ranged electric cars thanks to their high power-to-weight output, but they have some showstopping flaws: they not ...
