| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To promote renewable energy such as wind power, the storage battery plays a large role in solving power generation fluctuation risk based on weather conditions. Metal air batteries are promising technology because the battery could indicate ca. 10 times of volumetric energy density comparing with lithium ion batteries. A major challenge for cathode development of the battery is to replace both platinum catalyst and carbon support with oxides that indicate high catalytic activity and high stability. The oxide support in this research showed functionality, that is the support assume a new role as both catalyst and electro-conductive material. The battery can show high durability by replacing all of cathode materials with the oxides.
