Researchers from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology say that they have developed a new strategy to address the limitations of the lithium-oxygen battery. Lithium-oxygen batteries are capable of generating up to ten times higher energy density. The University of Kansas is also researching lithium-oxygen batteries and how to overcome the challenges of commercialization. Scientists have been trying for years to make lithium-oxygen batteries a viable energy storage solution by overcoming some of the challenges to the commercial use of this type of batteries. So far, the challenges have been greater than the sum of the potential solutions. In what could be a breakthrough in this type of battery technology, researchers from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) say that they have developed a new strategy to address the limitations of the lithium-oxygen battery by stabilizing the electrocatalysts at the atomic level within metal-organic […]
