Getting Closer to the Lithium Air Battery

April 18, 2018 | 1 Comment

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Boston College researchers have applied a ‘water-in-salt’ electrolyte that enables stable operation of a lithium-air battery, offers superior long cycle lifetimes and presents a platform that could help lithium-ion batteries achieve their full potential. This news finally comes after more than two decades of research where improvements to lithium-ion batteries have stalled short of […]

IBM Says It Now Has a Working Lithium Air Battery

January 10, 2012 | 4 Comments

Physicist Winfried Wilcke working at IBM’s Almaden laboratories, based in San Jose, California in a report by Duncan Graham-Rowe in NewScientist allows that IBM’s Battery 500 project to find an air battery solution for electric vehicles (EVs), has found a starting solution. The assertion now is IBM believes it has solved a fundamental problem that […]

The Lithium Air Battery Makes Progress

March 28, 2011 | Leave a Comment

The research team at Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) can show heat-treated metal-free graphene nanosheets (GNS) have much more stable cycling performance in a Lithium-air battery. This might be important and does show a research lead, because of lithium air’s capacity of 5-10 times that of standard Lithium-ion batteries.  That […]
