    摘要: Provided is a metal-air battery including a cathode having a space which may be filled with a metal oxide formed during a discharge of the metal-air battery and thus having improved energy density and lifespan. The cathode for the metal-air battery includes a plurality of cathode materials, a plurality of electrolyte films disposed on surfaces of the plurality of cathode materials, and a plurality of spaces which are not occupied by the plurality of cathode materials and the plurality of electrolyte films. A volume of the plurality of spaces may be greater than or equal to a maximum space of a metal oxide formed during a discharge of the metal-air battery.

    摘要: A metal-air battery includes a unit cell wound into a roll. The unit cell includes a negative-electrode metal layer having a first surface located in a circumferential direction of the roll and a second surface facing the first surface and located in the circumferential direction of the roll; a first electrolyte film and a first positive-electrode layer sequentially disposed on the first surface of the negative-electrode metal layer; and a second electrolyte film and a second positive-electrode layer sequentially disposed on the second surface of the negative-electrode metal layer. The unit cell is wound in a way such that the first positive-electrode layer and the second positive-electrode layer face each other.

    摘要: A metal air battery system includes an air intake apparatus configured to draw external air, a metal air battery module configured to receive oxygen from the air intake apparatus to perform a discharging reaction, and comprising at least one inlet through configured for oxygen inflow and at least one outlet configured for oxygen outflow, and a flow path connection unit connecting the air intake apparatus to the metal air battery module. A position of the at least one inlet and a position of the at least one outlet is con figured to alternate between a first opening in the metal air battery module and a second opening in the metal air battery module as the metal air battery module is discharged, and the metal air battery system is configured so that at least a portion of the oxygen in the metal air battery module is removed during a charging reaction.
