TLDR
It is demonstrated that substitution of lithium by sodium may offer an unexpected route towards rechargeable metal-air batteries in the search for room-temperature batteries with high energy densities.Abstract:
Rechargeable metal–air batteries are considered particularly attractive due to their potential high-energy densities and simplicity of the underlying cell reaction. A room-temperature sodium–oxygen cell with an ether-based electrolyte demonstrates enhanced current densities using pure carbon cathodes without an added catalyst.read more

A Polymer Electrolyte‐Based Rechargeable Lithium/Oxygen Battery
K. M. Abraham,Z. Jiang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a rechargeable Li/O{sub 2} battery is reported, which consists of a conductive organic polymer electrolyte membrane sandwiched by a thin Li metal foil anode, and a thin carbon composite electrode on which oxygen, the electroactive cathode material, accessed from the environment, is reduced during discharge to generate electric power.

A reversible and higher-rate Li-O2 battery.
TL;DR: Operation of the rechargeable Li-O2 battery depends critically on repeated and highly reversible formation/decomposition of lithium peroxide (Li2O2) at the cathode upon cycling, and it is shown that this process is possible with the use of a dimethyl sulfoxide electrolyte and a porous gold electrode.
