The rub is that they only work at 150 deg C. I'm no chemist, but it sounds like they need some sort of catalyst to get the reactions to take place at room temperatures. An air breathing battery would absolutely change the world, no doubt.

150°C wouldn't be that bad, but these batteries only last for 150 cycles. (According to the link posted below: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/lithium-oxygen-batteries... )

Thats almost as good as Sealed Lead Acid.
