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 ...

If you’re reading this with a rechargeable battery powered appliance, the chances are it’s a lithium-ion battery based on intercalation chemistry. But with increasing demands for higher energy density ...

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.

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 ...

Boasting an energy density similar to that of gasoline, lithium-air (or lithium-oxygen) batteries may one day prove the panacea for the range-anxiety associated with electric vehicles. But first there ...

Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have fabricated two-dimensional Mn3O4 nanosheets with dominant crystal planes on graphene (Mn3O4 NS/G) as efficient oxygen catalysts for lithium-oxygen ...

Relay Orbital Hybridization Boosts Lithium–Oxygen Battery Catalysis. Schematic illustration of phosphorus-doped MnMoO₄ hollow nanospheres enabling “relay orbital hybridization.” Internal Mo–P orbital ...
