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.

Researchers from Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen) and Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz have created a dual-function catalyst material that tackles two significant limitations in Li-O 2 ...

Lithium. While it’s not quite “the Spice” of Dune, the silvery, reactive metal is an extraordinarily valuable means for ...

Forward-looking: Despite being a relatively rare element, lithium is still the king of materials when it comes to rechargeable battery technology. Calcium is 2,500 times more abundant than lithium, ...
