Lithium-air batteries with 4x energy density unveiled

The Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) and the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory have devised a lithium-air battery that they claim has four times the density of current batteries.  

Scientists behind this project said this lithium-air battery would have enough power for long-haul trucks and domestic flights (with over 1,600 kilometres of range) and would mean a seismic shift for the whole transport industry. 

At the same time, researchers affirm this fresh type of battery, apart from holding more energy, is way more reliable and reduces the risk of fire.
