OverviewDesign and operationHistoryChallengesAdvancementsApplicationsSee alsoExternal links
In general lithium ions move between the anode and the cathode across the electrolyte. Under discharge, electrons follow the external circuit to do electric work and the lithium ions migrate to the cathode. During charge the lithium metal plates onto the anode, freeing O 2 at the cathode. Both non-aqueous (with Li2O2 or LiO2 as the discharge products) and aqueous (LiOH as the discharge product) Li-O2 batteries h
