An international team from MIT, Argonne National Laboratory and Peking University has demonstrated a lab-scale proof-of-concept of a new type of cathode for Li-air batteries that could overcome the current drawbacks to the technology, including a high potential gap (>1.2 V) V) causes severe energy efficiency and thermal management problems.

Drawbacks of these batteries — the reason people are looking for new chemistries — are cost and scarcity of the primary minerals, limitations to energy density, safety issues, and temperature sensitivity. Another approach under development is adding lithium salt to the electrolyte of lithium-ion batteries to reduce flammability.
