What are the Key Reactions in Lithium Air Batteries?
The operation of lithium-air batteries involves two main reactions: - Discharge Reaction: Oâ + 2Li â LiâOâ - Charge Reaction: LiâOâ â Oâ + 2Li
These reactions occur at the cathode, where oxygen from the air is reduced during discharge and lithium peroxide is oxidized during charge. Catalysts are needed to facilitate these reactions and reduce the energy barriers.
