“…As an alternate approach, gel-polymer electrolytes have been applied to suppress the formation of Li dendrites, [114][115][116] which, however, can still occur and leads to the penetration of the poly mer fi lm, to a poor cycling behavior, and ultimately to cell failure. Aleshin et al [ 117 ] tried to solve this problem by coating the lithium metal anode with a protective ceramic layer composed of lithium-aluminum-germanium-phosphorus (LAGP) glassceramics. This layer was considered to stabilize the lithium/air performance by preventing anode and electrolyte degradation.…”

gas. At the same time, the penetration of renewable energy sources has opened up the possibility of creating a CO 2 -neutral mobility system, where electric vehicles are powered by wind, hydro, and solar energy.Broad fi nancial efforts are being made at a governmental and industrial level to fund research into new areas of energy storage. The U.S. Department of Energy has allocated $20 million to energy storage research in 2012 and $15 million the following year, while the German government has committed itself to ¤200 million between 2011 and 2018; [ 1 ] similar schemes are also being promoted in Japan by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO). The EU-backed "Horizon 2020" program aims at funding research into energy storage technologies, a fi eld where the European Union lags behind the U.S. and East Asia. [ 2 ] Lithium-ion technology has established itself as a type of reliable energy-storage chemistry over the past 20 years, fi rst being used in camcorders, then mobile phones, laptops, and more recently electric cars. However, as the size of the battery pack increases, so does the belief that the cost per kW h and its energy density are not suitable for practical vehicle applications. The Tesla Model S, which sports a 400 km driving range, does so with a whopping 85 kW h battery pack that alone has up to twice the price of a standard economy car. With a current cost higher than 400 $ kW h −1 , electric cars have so far only entered a niche, high-end market where users are willing to pay a premium. Resizing the battery pack, and so the total cost of an electric car, results in a limited driving range (typically 100-150 km) that automatically restricts the use for long-haul journeys and triggers the so-called "range anxiety" feeling. For these reasons, the need to develop energy-storage technologies that enable at least a 500 km driving range, while retaining the same battery pack volume at an affordable price, is of primary interest for governments and car manufacturers. A Brief History of Lithium/Air BatteriesOver the years, the scientifi c community has focused its interest on advanced lithium-ion and fuel cells with only incremental improvements being made. Lithium-ion technology in particular is predicted to reach an asymptotic limit in specifi c Lithium/air is a fascinating energy storage system. The effective exploitation of air as a battery electrode has been the long-time dream of the battery community. Air is, in principle, a no-cost material characterized by a very high specifi c capacity value. In the particular case of the lithium/air system, energy levels approaching that of gasoline have been postulated. It is then not surprising that, in the course of the last decade, great attention has been devoted to this battery by various top academic and industrial laboratories worldwide. This intense investigation, however, has soon highlighted a series of issues that prevent a rapid development of the Li/air electrochemical system. Although several breakthroughs have be...

“…Regarding these solid ceramic electrolytes, the present research is principally focused on materials such as Li 1þxþy Ti 2Àx Al x P 3Ày Si y O 12 (LTAP), which presents ionic conductivity of the order of 10 À4 to 10 À3 Scm À1 depending on the preparation method and on the layer thickness [64e66]. Many versions of this material have been investigated looking at an optimal composition able to assure high conductivity and low interfacial resistances [66]. In fact, Wang and Zhou [63] reported that by increasing the current density the operating voltage of the cell abruptly decreases (Fig.…”

“…A decade later, Bruce and co‐workers reported a reversible electrochemical reaction (2Li + + 2e − + O 2 ↔ Li 2 O 2 ) in a non‐aqueous Li–O 2 battery that employed lithium metal as the anode, 1 M LiPF 6 in propylene carbonate as the electrolyte, and porous carbon and MnO 2 embedded with Li 2 O 2 as the cathode, thus providing reliable evidence supporting the feasibility of an O 2 ‐containing electrode for rechargeable Li–O 2 batteries. Afterward, numerous studies have focused on the reversible charge/discharge cycle performance of Li–O 2 batteries . Unlike Li‐ion batteries that employ intercalation compounds of heavy equivalent weight as electrode materials, aprotic Li–O 2 batteries typically use low‐equivalent‐weight lithium metal as the anode, an aprotic organic solvent mixed with lithium salts as the electrolyte, and porous carbon‐based materials containing catalysts and oxygen as the cathode, as schematically illustrated in Figure .…”

Lithium metal for rechargeable aprotic Li–O2 batteries is considered one of the most fascinating anode materials that can deliver high theoretical specific capacity, low density, and low negative electrochemical potential. Although lithium‐metal anodes have been studied extensively for decades, the cycling performance of rechargeable aprotic Li–O2 batteries based on lithium‐metal anodes is rather poor because of the unresolved security issues related to lithium dendrites and contaminant (O2, H2O) crossover from cathode to anode. Here, the critical issues and challenges facing lithium‐containing anodes associated with the security, stability, and efficiency are analyzed. Moreover, the latest research progress and strategies used to improve the performance of aprotic Li–O2 batteries based on lithium‐containing anode are reviewed. Perspectives toward the development of highly stable lithium‐containing anodes are also presented.
