Porous Ag/P/C Composite Electrodes: A New Approach for Metal Air Batteries

Abstract

This project has encompassed the design, preparation, characterization, and electrochemical study of novel composite electrodes for use in metal air batteries. Metal air batteries offer the potential for unprecedented high energy density relative to batteries in common use today. Improvement of cathode oxygen reduction activity will increase current capability and power output of metal air batteries, facilitating development of small, lightweight, long-life power sources for deployment in currently inaccessible locations.
