Rechargeable lithium-hydroxide based non-aqueous lithium oxygen batteries

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1892672
An electrochemical device includes an air cathode; a lithium-containing anode metal; a porous separator; and a non-aqueous electrolyte comprising a lithium salt, a sodium salt, and a solvent; wherein the electrochemical device is a lithium-air battery. A total concentration of the lithium salt and the sodium salt in the non-aqueous electrolyte may be from about 0.001 M to about 7 M.
