Lithium-air batteries could be a game changer in energy storage as they have the highest expected energy density of any battery technology being considered for the next generation of batteries besides lithium-ion.
Last year, research work led by Larry Curtiss of Argonne National Laboratory and Mohammad Asadi, an associate professor at the Illinois Institute of Technology, made headlines with a coin-sized test cell that demonstrated stability over 1,000 charge and discharge cycles and showed potential to achieve a record energy density of 1,200 Wh/kg, which is almost four times that of lithium-ion batteries and roughly comparable to the energy density of gasoline in cars.
