Carbon-black-based self-standing porous electrode for 500 Wh/kg rechargeable lithium-oxygen batteries

Lithium-Ion-Conducting Ceramics-Coated Separator for Stable Operation of Lithium Metal-Based Rechargeable Batteries

“…As the mass loading of the coating layer is less than 1 mg/cm 2 , the introduction of the coating layer has limited influence on the energy density of LOBs. Here, the LOB cells have a stacked configuration, and their electrolyte contains redox meditators [ 42 , 43 ]. The discharge/charge performance test was conducted at a current density of 0.4 mA/cm 2 , a capacity limit of 4.0 mAh/cm 2 , and cutoff voltages of 2.0 V/4.5 V. Figure 7 a shows the representative voltage profile of the LOB using the uncoated PE separator.…”

Self-standing porous carbon electrodes for lithium–oxygen batteries under lean electrolyte and high areal capacity conditions

“…[26][27][28] The details of the membrane preparation process are described in the literature. 23 The prepared membranes were dried and heattreated under suitable conditions and subsequently calcinated at 1,050 1C in an inert atmosphere.…”

“…A series of carbonpowder-based self-standing membranes with different pore structures were prepared by applying a non-solvent-induced phase separation (NIPS) technique. [22][23][24] The electrolyte amount dependence of the performance of the LOBs was systematically investigated by controlling the electrolyte amount inside the porous carbon electrode, which is realized using the stamping method recently developed by our group. 25…”

Criteria for evaluating lithium–air batteries in academia to correctly predict their practical performance in industry

“…Herein, we estimate the cell level energy density of the LAB reported in the literature (ref. 3–6, 11–30). In the cases where important parameters, such as the amount of electrolyte or details of the separator, were not described in their experimental section, we used the values that are generally used in the field of LABs to estimate their energy density.…”

“…In fact, most of the current research mainly focuses on the evaluation of individual components at the material level, and only a few studies have evaluated the cell level performance of LABs under practical conditions with the appropriate technological parameters (ref. 3–6). Even for next-generation rechargeable batteries other than LAB, such large gaps between academia and industry in the research activity have been pointed out (ref.…”
