Air battery and method for using the same

Abstract

A charge/discharge method of an air battery is a charge/discharge method of an air battery including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a nonaqueous electrolyte liquid containing a nonaqueous solvent and a lithium salt dissolved in the nonaqueous solvent, the nonaqueous electrolyte liquid being interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, the charge/discharge method includes: discharging the air battery; and supplying a charging liquid different from the nonaqueous electrolyte liquid from the outside to the inside of the air battery so that a discharge product generated by the discharging is desorbed from the positive electrode while being in the form of a solid.
