Researchers show feasibility of lithium-metal-free anode for Li-air battery; addressing one of three main barriers to Li-air battery development

Green Car Congress

The elimination of the lithium metal anode addresses one of the major issues affecting the development of the lithium-air battery: the safety hazard of the anode. “ The stability of the LiCF 3 SO 3 -TEGDME electrolyte in the environment of the lithium?oxygen oxygen cell has been demonstrated in previous papers.
