Spongy metal energises lithium–oxygen batteries

An ultra-light nickel cathode boosts performance and lifetime of promising battery technology

A porous metal electrode so light that it can be balanced on a flower could help unlock the potential of lithium–oxygen batteries. With a theoretical energy density close to that of petrol, this type of battery could one day power electric cars.
