Researchers design new lithium-air battery which can function after even 750 charge/discharge cycles - lithium air battery
The researchers designed a new type of lithium.
Air batteries that work in natural air environments make them closer to daily use.
After the record run, the new battery
According to a study published in the journal Nature, 750 charge/discharge cycles were broken.

"This is the first demonstration of real lithium.
The air battery is what we call beyond lithium-

The air battery "is thought to have five times more energy than lithium --
Ion batteries that power mobile phones, laptops and electric vehicles "have been attracting battery researchers for years.
The battery will work by combining lithium in the anode with oxygen in the air to produce hydrogen peroxide on the cathode during the discharge phase.
In the charging phase, lithium peroxide is broken down into lithium and oxygen components.
However, there are some obstacles to their development.
Experimental design of this lithium

The product blocked the cathode and finally made the cathode completely coated and unable to work.
These experimental batteries rely on pure oxygen tanks, which limits their usefulness and poses serious safety risks due to the flammable nature of oxygen.
