With a record-breaking energy density.
A team of researchers from Japan's National Institute for Materials Science , backed by Japanese conglomerate SoftBank, has developed a lithium-air battery with a record-breaking energy density of more than 500 watt-hours per kilogram .
To put that into perspective, the novel battery has nearly double the energy density of the battery used in a Tesla Model 3. In addition to achieving the highest energy densities and longest cycle life yet accomplished, the battery can be charged and discharged at room temperature, according to a studyThat's huge, as it might pave the way for the practical usage of lithium-air batteries.
or battery chemistry that generates electricity by oxidizing lithium at the anode and reducing oxygen at the cathode. It may one day be the ultimate rechargeable battery: It is lightweight and high capacity, with potential energy densities that are many times greater than those of conventional lithium-ion batteries.
However, there are only a few lithium-air batteries that have been successfully manufactured. That's partly because a considerable fraction of lithium-air batteries by weight comprise heavy inactive components that do not directly participate in battery processes.by developing unique battery materials that considerably improve the performance of lithium-air batteries. Now, by integrating these novel materials and fabrication techniques, they have created a brand-new lithium-air battery.

Biden to Lay Out in Japan Who's Joining New Asia Trade PactPresident Joe Biden is set to launch a long-anticipated Indo-Pacific trade pact on Monday. The White House says the pact will help the United States work more closely with Asian economies on issues including supply chains, digital trade, clean energy and anticorruption efforts. Countries signing on to the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework are set to be announced during Biden’s visit to Tokyo for talks with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. It’s the latest step by the Biden administration to try to broaden U.S. influence in the Pacific and counter China’s economic might in the region.
