Electrolyte containing methoxybenzene for use in lithium-air semi-fuel cells

Disclosed herein are electrolyte formulations containing methoxybenzene (also known as anisole or phenoxymethane) for use in lithium-air semi-fuel cells. Lithium-air semi-fuel cells contain a metallic lithium anode and an air (oxygen) fuel cell type porous carbon cathode. The reaction product in the cathode is lithium oxide (Li2O) and / or lithium peroxide (Li2O2). This reaction product is sparingly soluble in common lithium-air cell solvents, and therefore the cathode pores become blocked over time, leading to cell end-of-life. Methoxybenzene is an organic solvent that demonstrates an increased solubility of Li2O, which minimizes the clogging of the cathode. Lithium-air semi-fuel cells with electrolytes containing methoxybenzene demonstrate higher discharge capacities per the same weight, than the cells having electrolytes without methoxybenzene. Higher energy density semi-fuel cells are thus achieved.
