High Energy Lithium-Air Batteries for Soldier Power

Abstract

High energy lithium-air cells are being developed with the use of LISICON membranes (a dense lithium ion conductor). The LISICON membrane allows cells to be divided into separate compartments, one containing the anode and the other the cathode, each with a different electrolyte. This is particularly important for the lithium/air cell where a LISICON membrane can be used to separate an organic non-aqueous anolyte from an aqueous catholyte. The LISICON membranes were evaluated for LiP + P ion conductivity. The construction and performance testing of laboratory type Li-air cells was conducted to determine rate capability, stability, and impedance characteristics of the Li-air cell.
