Metal-Air Battery Could Store 11 Times More Energy than Lithium-Ion Metal-Air Battery Could Store 11 Times More Energy than Lithium-Ion. A spinoff company from Arizona State University plans to build a new battery with an energy density 11 times greater than that of lithium-ion batteries for just one-third the cost. With a $5.13 million research grant from the US Department of Energy awarded last week, Fluidic Energy hopes to turn its ultra-dense energy storage technology into a reality.
