MODELING THE ELECTRON TRANSFER REACTION AT THE LITHIUM METAL ANODE- LIQUID ELECTROLYTE INTERFACE IN LITHIUM- AIR BATTERIES

摘要

The potentially much higher gravimetric energy storage density of lithium-air batteries compared to all other battery chemistries has made them promising energy storage systems for prevailing existing obstacles in large scale applications. The most important application drawing attention is transportation systems in which the gravimetric energy density and safety become very challenging. Moreover, lithium-air batteries can also have significant impact on energy storage systems in other areas such as consumer electronics and robotic uses.
