Oxygen-ion batteries (Oi batteries) are a type of rechargeable battery that works similarly to lithium-ion batteries. The electrodes in oxygen-ion batteries are perovskite-based ceramics instead of typical lithium-ion battery materials (graphite, iron, etc.). The batteries are fire-resistant, and highly durable. [1]
The ceramic materials do not require toxic metals like those that are common in lithium-ion batteries.[ citation needed]
The batteries are suitable for grid storage of power collected from sources such as wind and solar. Oxygen lost to side reactions can be replaced by ambient oxygen.[ citation needed]
Oi batters feature lower energy density than lithium-ion batteries, and they operate at higher temperatures, can reach 200–400 °C (392–752 °F). [2]
