Argonne: Lithium-Air battery 1200 wh/kg, 1000 cycles

Re:Argonne: Lithium-Air battery 1200 wh/kg, 1000 cycles by jackmott42 on Thursday February 23, 2023 @02:32PM (#34915247)

parameters that are important:

1. how fast can you charge it

2. how much power can it output?

3. how long does it last time wise, not just cycle wise

4. how much does it cost

5. how much space does it take up

6. what temperature ranges can it handle?

7. can it handle vibrations

just a few

doest is suffer from thermal runaway etc.

All these parameters do is help determine its best possible use-case for product and if it something to compete against incumbents or open up other market possibilities.

> thermal runaway etc

From the article: "The main new component in this lithium-air battery is a solid electrolyte instead of the usual liquid variety. Batteries with solid electrolytes are not subject to the safety issue with the liquid electrolytes used in lithium-ion and other battery types, which can overheat and catch fire."
