What are the Challenges in Catalysis for Lithium Air Batteries?
Despite the progress, several challenges remain: - Stability: Catalysts must be stable over many cycles of charging and discharging. Many catalysts degrade or become poisoned by reaction intermediates. - Selectivity: Catalysts need to be highly selective for the desired reactions to minimize side reactions that can generate unwanted by-products. - Scalability: Finding cost-effective and scalable catalysts that can be used in commercial applications remains a significant hurdle.
