Additional information

Lithium air batteries offer one of the highest theoretical energy densities of any battery. This paper reports on catalyst materials required to facilitate fast oxygen reduction in the battery. It shows for the first time that a low cost maganese oxide catalyst provides capacities of an order of magnitude greater than current Li battery (or any other battery) performance. The work was part of £1.2M EPSRC project “An O2 Electrode for a Rechargeable Lithium Battery” (EP/E03649X/1; Newcastle award £501k), and is continuing through the £3M EPSRC Energy Transport Grand Challenge project “Crossing Boundaries in Energy Storage” (EP/I022570/1; Newcastle award £311k).
