Semi-solid lithium/oxygen flow battery: an emerging, high-energy technology

Lithium-Air (O2) batteries are considered one of the nextgeneration battery technologies, due to their very high specific much attention for energy transition because of their highly flexible design that enables the decoupling of energy and power. However, commercial RFBs still suffer from low energy density. One of the solutions proposed to increase the energy density is the combination of the high energy density of the Li/ O2 battery with the flexible and scalable architecture of redox flow batteries in semi-solid flow Li/O2 batteries. The challenging activities to develop materials and components, and to prototype semi-solid flow Li/O2 batteries are here presented and discussed.
