LiBr-coated Air Electrodes for Li-air Batteries

Li–air batteries (LAB) have a theoretical energy density as high as 3500 Wh kg−1; however, many problems remain to be addressed before their practical application. Introduction of a redox mediator (RM) is commonly applied to reduce the high overpotential of the air electrode (AE) during the charge p...
