“…All of the four abovementioned batteries have their separate challenges. In the non-aqueous/aprotic electrolyte LAB, the reaction of moisture and CO 2 with the lithium anode results in the decrement of battery capacity, cyclability and efficiency [46][47][48][49]. Also, for non-aqueous electrolyte LAB, the discharge product is insoluble in aprotic electrolyte thus causing the clogging of cathode [49][50][51][52].…”

Rechargeable batteries have gained a lot of interests due to rising trend of electric vehicles to control greenhouse gases emissions. Among all type of rechargeable batteries, lithium air battery (LAB) provides an optimal solution, owing to its high specific energy of 11,140 Wh/kg comparable to that of gasoline 12,700 Wh/kg. However, LABs are not widely commercialized yet due to the reactivity of the lithium anode with the components of ambient air such as moisture and carbon dioxide. To address this challenge, it is important to understand the effects of moisture on the electrochemical performance of LAB. In this review, the effects of ambient air on the electrochemical performance of LAB have been discussed. The literature on the deterioration in the battery capacity and cyclability due to operation in ambient environment and degradation of lithium anode due to exothermic reaction between lithium and water is reviewed and explained. The effects of using oxygen-selective membrane (OSM) to block moisture and $${\mathrm{CO}}_{2}$$ CO 2 contamination has also been discussed, along with suitable materials that can act as OSM. It is concluded that the utilization of OSM can not only make the safer operation of LAB in ambient air but could also enhance the electrochemical performance of LAB. Future direction of the research work required to address the associated challenges is also provided.

“…Temprano et al considered to increase the activity of the electrolyte to increase the driving force of I 3 for oxidizing LiOH on charge. [28] Using an ionic liquid (IL), 1-butyl-1-methyl-pyrrolidiniumbis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (Pyr 14 TFSI), in the electrolyte, they tuned the equilibrium redox potential of I 3 -/Ito a higher level. In this case, they demonstrated that LiOH is reversibly charged through a 4etransfer reaction, calculated by the amount of released O 2 , supported by OEMS measurements (Figure 3a,b).…”

“…However, the system inevitably passes through the moisture and air, which is critical to the chemical oxidation of the anode. [47,48] Thus, it is essential to block the direct contact between the RM and moisture to prevent an undesirable chemical reaction on the Li metal, which would lead to electrochemical degradation, as shown in Figure S13, Supporting Information. Thus, we monitored the states of the Li and Li@SBS electrodes to verify the chemo-protective effect of SBS thin film using the oxygen cathode.…”

A dendrite‐free and chemically stabilized lithium metal anode is required for extending battery life and for the application of high energy density coupled with various cathode systems. However, uneven Li metal growth and the active surface in nature accelerate electrolyte dissipation and surface corrosion, resulting in poor cycle efficiency and various safety issues. Here, the authors suggest a thin artificial interphase using a multifunctional poly(styrene‐b‐butadiene‐b‐styrene) (SBS) copolymer to inhibit the electrochemical/chemical side reaction during cycling. Based on the physical features, hardness, adhesion, and flexibility, the optimized chemical structure of SBS facilitates durable mechanical strength and interphase integrity against repeated Li electrodeposition/dissolution. The effectiveness of the thin polymer film enables high cycle efficiency through the realization of a dendrite‐free structure and a chemo‐resistive surface of Li metal. The versatile anode demonstrates an improvement in the electrochemical properties, paired with diverse cathodes of high‐capacity lithium cobalt oxide (3.5 mAh cm−2) and oxygen for advanced Li metal batteries with high energy density.
