Batteries that breath air are a possible future for electric vehicles, as they might significantly cut the weight of energy storage. Called metal-air batteries, during discharge they react a metal (lithium, zinc, magnesium or aluminium, amongst other options) with oxygen from the atmosphere to deliver energy. During charge, they emit the oxygen. A catalyst is ...
