Design and preparation of advanced materials for lithium-air batteries

Abstract

Due to the ultrahigh theoretical energy density, lithium-air battery is proposed as the next generation electrochemical energy storage devices. The improvement of lithium-air battery's electrochemical performances and its application largely rely on highly efficient and stable electrodes. In this review, the development and design of air cathode, modification and protection of lithium anode and assembly of new type lithium-air batteries were summarized.
