Very High Specific Area Lithium-Air Battery

摘要

Aqueous lithium-air batteries use a ceramic separator to isolate the lithium metal from the aqueous electrolyte. The use of ceramic membranes will limit the size of electrodes that can be accommodated into a practical battery since they cannot easily be wound. Electrodes with high areal capacities are therefore needed in order to obtain batteries with high energy densities. Electrodes with areal capacities greater than 100 mAh/cm~2 have been developed and are reported.
