“…These issues cause the actual cell specific energy to be lower than the thermodynamically calculated specific energy. Most of the over-voltage is being related to the cathode reaction [20]; the over-voltage, which occurs due to the resistance to mass transfer of reagents to the active sites at the cathode surface, should also be taken into consideration [21]. Giving due consideration for these effects, a noticeable overall cell voltage drops, leading therefore to an additional energy density reduction.…”

“…The electroactive cathode material in metal air batteries (oxygen) is captured from ambient air and thus, is not an initial part of the battery structure. Thus, even when the mass gained during discharge due to formation of oxygen reduction products is considered, 15,16 metal air batteries offer the opportunity for significant energy density increases when compared to conventional battery technologies.…”

Considerations of energy density, power, and calendar life are critical to effectively develop advanced secondary systems. For next generation battery applications requiring multiple features including long life, large cycle count, high energy density and high power, new strategies are needed for the rational design of electroactive materials and electrodes. This article discusses several conceptual approaches under exploration with examples from our research group. The first approach is the systematic synthesis of materials with structures facilitating ion insertion and deinsertion at high voltage and energy density, where we control materials properties such as surface area, particle size and in particular crystallite size. A second approach is the investigation of novel electrode structures and substrates to increase energy density and capacity retention under cycling, where we have developed strategies for minimizing passive components. A third approach is investigation of catalysts for metal air batteries where the cathode active material is drawn from the air rather than carried in the battery.

“…In the recent wave of interest in the development of Li-air batteries, many theoretical studies have highlighted the impressive possibilities of these systems [30][31][32][33][34][35][36] and the company International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) pursued Li-air systems for commercial applications [17]. Although significant challenges remain [37][38][39][40][41], the future of Li-air batteries is promising.…”

Abstract:The advent of large-scale renewable energy generation and electric mobility is driving a growing need for new electrochemical energy storage systems. Metal-air batteries, particularly zinc-air, are a promising technology that could help address this need. While experimental research is essential, it can also be expensive and time consuming. The utilization of well-developed theory-based models can improve researchers' understanding of complex electrochemical systems, guide development, and more efficiently utilize experimental resources. In this paper, we review the current state of metal-air batteries and the modeling methods that can be implemented to advance their development. Microscopic and macroscopic modeling methods are discussed with a focus on continuum modeling derived from non-equilibrium thermodynamics. An applied example of zinc-air battery engineering is presented.
