New nanolithia cathodes may address technical drawbacks of Li-air batteries; scalable, cheap and safer Li-air battery system

Green Car Congress

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. —Zhu et al.

Jülich, ORNL researchers advance high energy density iron-air batteries

Green Car Congress

When it comes to volumetric energy density, iron–air batteries could perform even better with 9,700 Wh/l—almost five times higher than today’s lithium-ion batteries (2,000 Wh/l). Iron–air batteries are thus particularly interesting for a multitude of mobile applications in which space requirements play a large role.
