Preventing Degradation in Li-air Batteries

Source Node: 1592758

via MIT

Lithium–air batteries operate by electron transfer from a high-surface-area cathode to oxygen gas during discharge, generating lithium peroxide deposits, the crucial storage material for this class of batteries. Lithium superoxide, formed during charging and discharging, is too unstable and short-lived at room temperature for scientists to reliably study; thus, being able to generate and stabilize this crucial intermediate is an important step toward developing a viable lithium-air battery.
