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.
Abstract: A novel rechargeable Li/O{sub 2} battery is reported. It comprises a Li{sup +} 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. It features an all solid state design in which electrode and electrolyte layers are laminated to form a 200 to 300 {micro}m thick battery cell. The overall cell reaction during discharge appears to be 2Li + O{sub 2} {yields} Li{sub 2}O{sub 2}. It has an open-circuit voltage of about 3 V, and a load voltage that spans between 2 and 2.8 V depending upon the load resistance. The cell can be recharged with good coulombic efficiency using a cobalt phthalocyanine catalyzed carbon electrode.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was found that the shape of graphite particles plays a key role in their application as active mass in anodes for Li-ion batteries and that the surface films formed on lithiated graphite are similar to those formed on Li metal in the same solutions.

TL;DR: The goal of the present article is to provide a survey of electroactive polymers in view of potential applications in rechargeable batteries, and reviews the preparative methods and the electrochemical performance of polymers as rechargeable battery electrodes.
Abstract: Electrochemical energy storage systems (batteries) have a tremendous role in technical applications In this review the authors examine the prospects of electroactive polymers in view of the properties required for such batteries Conducting organic polymers are considered here in the light of their rugged chemical environment: organic solvents, acids, and alkalis The goal of the present article is to provide, first of all in tabular form, a survey of electroactive polymers in view of potential applications in rechargeable batteries It reviews the preparative methods and the electrochemical performance of polymers as rechargeable battery electrodes The theoretical values of specific charge of the polymers are comparable to those of metal oxide electrodes, but are not as high as those of most of the metal electrodes normally used in batteries Therefore, it is an advantage in conventional battery designs to use the conducting polymer as a positive electrode material in combination with a negative electrode such as Li, Na, Mg, Zn, MeH{sub x}, etc 504 refs
