Final Report Summary - FUNLAB (Fundamental breakthroughs in Lithium-Air Batteries)
The work demonstrates that impressive improvements in performance can be achieved in metal-oxygen batteries, and issues such as electrode passivation or degradation reactions can be overcome by altering the reaction mechanism by using, for example, redox mediators.
Even though metal-oxygen batteries are still far away from commercialization, this work, together with all the advances made by the research community, shows that there are strategies that could solve the current fundamental issues that are associated to these batteries.
