Lithium-Air Batteries

Scientists at Cambridge University have published a research paper in the journal Science that details how the team overcome obstacles in the development of lithium-air batteries.

Lithium-air batteries have the potential to store more energy than other battery types. They have the potential to store 5–15 times the specific energy of current lithium-ion batteries.

For comparison, tThe energy density of gasoline is approximately 13 kWKiloWatt, 1000 watts·hHour/kgKilogram, SI unit of mass, 1000 grams while the theoretical energy density of the lithium-air battery is 12 kW·h/kg.
