Abstract:
1. A lithium/air battery, comprising: an anode current collector; a lithium metal anode having a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface of the lithium metal anode is in electrical contact with the anode current collector; a separator having a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface of the separator is in physical contact with the second surface of the lithium anode; an ion insertion material layer having a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface of the ion insertion material layer is in physical contact with the second surface of the separator; a cathode current collector having a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface of the cathode current collector is in electrical contact with the second surface of the ion insertion material layer; a carbon-based air electrode having a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface of the carbon-based air electrode is in electrical contact with the second surface of the cathode current collector; and a gas diffusion membrane having a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface of the gas distribution membrane is in physical contact with the second surface of the carbon-based air electrode.
