Challenges Associated with metal-air battery
SEI layer engineering and anode protection
Formation of SEI layer prevent the anode poisoning and dendrite formation
Electrolyte Compatibility and stability Cathode clogging and irreversible product formation Prevention of side Reactions with H2O and CO2
- Increasing charging potential
- Poisoning the anode
- Irreversible reactions
- Narrow Potential window
- Insufficient ionic conductivity
- Low solubility of some desired Li- salts
- Difficulties in designing of an
efficient SEI layer
- Limited cycle life
Metal Anode poisoning and corrosion Electrolyte instability and decomposition Advanced electro catalysts and Tailoring the Product phase and structure
- Sluggish OER and ORR
