Four different architectures of Li-air batteries, which all assume the use of lithium metal as the anode. IBM and its partners have launched a multi-year research initiative exploring rechargeable Li-air systems: The Battery 500 Project. They will serve as guidelines for the research to be carried out on Li-air systems.

A common denominator is the battery’s energy density : it is the amount of electrical energy per unit volume (or per unit weight) that a rechargeable battery can store. State-of-the-art energy density figures for lithium-ion batteries stand today near 700 Wh/l and 300 Wh/kg. Energy is measured in units of kWh.
