【 摘 要 】

Li-Air batteries are a unique fit for electric aircraft due to their high theoretical energy densities and their potential to leverage on-board oxygen systems. Electrolytes are the limiting factor for advancing this technology. We will investigate novel "electrolyte engineering" concepts to enable Li-Air batteries with high practical energy densities, rechargeability and safety. New stable electrolytes will be designed and fabricated for Li-Air batteries and tested in an electric flight. An unprecedented "Dream Team" of experts from NASA, DOE, academia and industry will tackle this problem.
