Lithium-air batteries could be a game changer for energy storage as they have the highest projected energy density of any battery technology being considered for the next generation of batteries beyond lithium-ion.

Last year, the research work led by Larry Curtiss at Argonne National Laboratory and Mohammad Asadi, an associate professor at Illinois Institute of Technology, grabbed the headlines with a coin-sized test cell that demonstrated stability over 1,000 charge and discharge cycles and showed potential to reach a record energy density of 1,200 Wh/kg, which is nearly four times that of lithium-ion batteries and roughly comparable with the energy density of petrol in cars.
