Abstract

A novel rechargeable Li-air flow battery is demonstrated. It consists of a lithium-ion conducting glass-ceramic membrane sandwiched by a Li-metal anode in organic electrolyte and a carbon nanofoam cathode through which oxygen-saturated aqueous electrolyte flows. It features a flow cell design in which aqueous electrolyte is bubbled with compressed air, and is continuously circulated between the cell and a storage reservoir to supply sufficient oxygen for high power output. It shows high rate capability (5 mA cm-2) and renders a power density of 7.64 mW cm-2 at a constant discharge current density of 4 mA cm-2.
