Scientists have developed a new four-electron reaction process for lithium-air batteries to increase energy density.
The new battery design uses solid-state electrolyte, a catalyst (Mo3P), and composite electrolyte embedded with nanoparticles for higher energy storage.
The lithium-air battery can be recharged for at least 1,000 cycles and could potentially achieve a specific energy of 1,200 Wh/kg.
The use of a solid-state electrolyte enhances safety, and further developments aim to increase energy storage for practical applications.
