A new design could pack more energy and last longer than others of its kind Lithium-oxygen cells are made of two electrodes, an anode and a cathode, separated by a substance called electrolyte. When ...

A new kind of lithium-oxygen battery, using glass nanoparticles of lithium oxides, could provide more energy, and much better stability and energy efficiency, report scientists. Lithium-air batteries ...

The development of aprotic lithium-oxygen (Li-O 2) batteries with ultra-high theoretical specific energies has been severely hindered by sluggish reaction kinetics and undesired parasitic reactions.
