An optical deflector includes: a light transmitting portion through which a light passes; and a pair of electrodes arranged to oppose to each other with the light transmitting portion interposed therebetween. The light transmitting portion is a transparent ion conductor made of a single crystal or polycrystal. The pair of electrodes apply a predetermined voltage to the light transmitting portion to move ions inside the transparent ion conductor so as to change a traveling direction of the light passing through the light transmitting portion.

Optical deflector

The present disclosure provides an electrochemical device system including an electrochemical device and a controller. The electrochemical device includes a negative electrode capable of occluding and releasing lithium ion, a positive electrode using oxygen as a positive electrode active material and reducing oxygen during discharge, and a solid electrolyte disposed between the negative electrode and the positive electrode and capable of conducting lithium ion. The controller performs current control during discharge of the electrochemical device.

Electrochemical device system

A lithium air battery system includes: a lithium air battery that includes a negative electrode made of a negative electrode material for absorbing and releasing a lithium ion, a positive electrode made of a positive electrode material and including a catalyst for reducing oxygen which is positive electrode active material, and a solid electrolyte layer including a solid electrolyte interposed between the negative electrode and the positive electrode; and a humidity control unit that adjusts a humidity of gas which includes oxygen and contacts with at least the positive electrode. The humidity control unit adjusts the humidity of the gas based on a temperature of the lithium air battery at least during operation of the lithium air battery.
