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.
Another advantage is that lithium-air batteries have a solid-state design that is attractive from a safety standpoint. It eliminates the possibility of rupture and ignition.
