Fra greentechgazette.com 27. januar 2016Lithium-air battery breakthrough- Researchers at the Argonne National Laboratory (pictured above) at the U.S. Department of Energy have developed a prototype for lithium-air batteries that can resolve the drawbacks of the existing lithium-air batteries. With the ability to store electricity up to 5 times more than common lithium-ion batteries, minus the shortcomings, the breakthrough design could soon power electric cars, and move them to great distances. When perfected, this technology could mean game over for gasoline powered vehicles. - The breakthrough battery design produces lithium superoxide, instead of lithium peroxide that is insoluble, and has a tendency to choke the battery electrodes. Lithium superoxide breaks down into oxygen and lithium that provides a battery that is highly efficient with an equally efficient life cycle.
