Lithium-air batteries were originally proposed in the 1970s as a possible power source for battery electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles. Theoretical specific energy of nearly 11,700 Wh kg-1, close to the value known for liquid fuels, renders rechargeable Li-air (Li-O2) batteries as top candidates for electric vehicles.
