Researchers have successfully demonstrated how several of the problems impeding the practical development of the so-called 'ultimate' battery could be overcome.

Scientists from Professor Clare Grey's research group, and colleagues from the Cambridge Graphene Centre, have developed a working laboratory demonstrator of a lithium-oxygen battery which has very high energy density, is more than 90% efficient, and, to date, can be recharged more than 2000 times, showing how several of the problems holding back the development of these devices could be solved.


The research has been published in Science, and further details of the work are available on the University News website.
