Long-term discharge curve of the newly developed lithium-air cell. Researchers at Japan’s AIST (National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology) are developing a lithium-air cell with a new structure (a set of three different electrolytes) to avoid degradation and performance problems of conventional lithium-air cells.

Although several attempts have been made on the anode materials, the main disadvantages is that their energy density is still much lower than that of conventional lithium ion batteries due to the narrow electrochemical window of water. Here we introduce a coating layer on lithium metal. —Wang et al. —Wang et al.
