Lithium-Air Batteries Using a Nonaqueous Electrolyte

Electrode porosity is also an important parameter. Consistent with findings of Kuboki et al. [20], Xiao et al. [22] found that the capacity of lithium-air batteries increases with increasing mesopore volume of the carbon used in the air electrode. They also found that there is an optimized carbon loading (or thickness) for the air electrode. 

Catalyst plays an important role in the performance of lithium-air batteries. Dobley etal. [45] and Debart etal. [58] investigated the effect of various metal catalysts on the performance of lithium-air batteries. They showed that 

Most of the early efforts on the development of lithium-air batteries focused on identifying the best component materials, including the selection of carbon
