Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An air battery includes a negative electrode, an air electrode, and an electrolyte that is interposed between the negative electrode and the air electrode. The air electrode includes: an oxygen evolution reaction layer for charging that is provided on an electrolyte side of the air electrode and contains an oxygen evolution reaction catalyst containing no carbon; an oxygen reduction reaction layer for discharging that is provided on an opposite side of the air electrode from the electrolyte and contains an oxygen reduction reaction catalyst containing carbon; and a current collector that is provided between the oxygen evolution reaction layer and the oxygen reduction reaction layer or in the oxygen evolution reaction layer.

1 . An air battery comprising: a negative electrode; an air electrode; and an electrolyte that is interposed between the negative electrode and the air electrode, wherein the air electrode includes an oxygen evolution reaction layer for charging that is provided on an electrolyte side of the air electrode and contains an oxygen evolution reaction catalyst containing no carbon, an oxygen reduction reaction layer for discharging that is provided on an opposite side of the air electrode from the electrolyte and contains an oxygen reduction reaction catalyst containing carbon, and a current collector that is provided between the oxygen evolution reaction layer and the oxygen reduction reaction layer or in the oxygen evolution reaction layer. 2 . The air battery according to claim 1 , wherein the oxygen evolution reaction layer is hydrophilic. 3 . The air battery according to claim 1 , wherein the oxygen reduction reaction layer is hydrophobic. 4 . The air battery according to claim 1 , wherein the air electrode further includes a hydrophilic film that is provided on a surface on the electrolyte side of the oxygen evolution reaction layer and allows permeation of water and ions. 5 . The air battery according to claim 4 , further comprising: a pressing member that is provided between the negative electrode and the hydrophilic film to press the hydrophilic film toward the surface of the oxygen evolution reaction layer. 6 . The air battery according to claim 1 , wherein the air electrode further includes a hydrophobic film that allows permeation of oxygen and is provided on a surface of the oxygen reduction reaction layer, the surface being on an opposite side of the oxygen reduction reaction layer from the oxygen evolution reaction layer. 7 . The air battery according to claim 1 , wherein the oxygen evolution reaction layer contains a perovskite type oxide La 0.7 Sr 0.8 Fe 0.6 Co 0.4 O 3 . 8 . The air battery according to claim 1 , wherein the oxygen reduction reaction layer contains a perovskite type oxide LaMnO 3 .
