Anion-redox nanolithia cathodes for Li-ion batteries

The significant phase change between gaseous and crystalline oxygen deteriorates the performance of lithium–air batteries. Here the authors report a battery with a cathode consisting of Li2O and Co3O4 nanocomposites, which displays stable cyclability and high energy density, without involving any gas evolution.
