Recently, redox-active organic molecules, such as quinone-and amine-based molecules, have been used as negative electrodes in rechargeable metal\u2013air batteries with oxygen-reducing positive electrodes.

However, these batteries use liquid electrolytes\u2014just like metal-based batteries\u2014which pose major safety concerns like high electrical resistance, leaching effects, and flammability.<\/p>\n<p>Now, in a recent study published in <i>Angewandte Chemie International Edition<\/i>, a group of Japanese researchers have developed an all-solid-state rechargeable air battery (SSAB) and investigated its capacity and durability. The study was led by Professor Kenji Miyatake from Waseda University and the University of Yamanashi, and co-authored by Professor Kenichi Oyaizu from Waseda University.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Metals are typically used as active materials for negative electrodes in batteries.
