Due to their high theoretical capacity, Li-air batteries (LABs) have been considered as promising energy storage devices since their invention. However, the high complexity of these devices has impeded their practical application. Moreover, the scattered experimental results and mechanistic theories reported in literature, add difficulties to develop a comprehensive understanding of their operation principles. The work accomplished in this thesis constitutes an effort to entangle the complexity of LABs through the combination of modeling approaches with experiments, with the focus on getting better understanding about the mechanisms interplays, rather than pursuing a perfect quantitative match between simulation and experimental results.
