Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a lithium oxygen battery with a non-aqueous flowable semi-solid catholyte comprising an electrolyte, dissolved oxygen and carbonaceous particles which are not soluble in the catholyte. The battery also comprises a lithium anode, electrical contacts, an oxygen inlet, a porous cathode current collector and a pump. The oxygen-enriched catholyte is pumped through the cell of the battery and the oxygen redox reaction may take place on the carbonaceous particles which form a conducting percolating network. Also disclosed is a semi-solid, non-aqueous catholyte comprising an electrolyte, dissolved oxygen and carbonaceous particles; the use of the lithium oxygen battery; and the use in electric vehicle and for stationary applications.
