  • Publication number: 20130224569
    Abstract: Provided is a metal oxygen battery having an excellent charge/discharge capacity and cycle performance. A metal oxygen battery includes a positive electrode containing an oxygen-storing material and to which oxygen is applied as an active substance, a negative electrode to which a metal is applied as an active substance, an electrolyte layer disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and a case hermetically housing the positive electrode, the negative electrode and the electrolyte layer. The oxygen-storing material has the functions of, during discharge, ionizing stored oxygen and releasing ionized oxygen, and causing the ionized oxygen to react with metal ions permeating from the negative electrode through the electrolyte layer into the positive electrode to thereby form a metal oxide, and of, during charge, storing oxygen by reduction of the metal oxide. The metal oxide formed during discharge contains an amorphous oxide.
