Apparently, "lithium-air" is a term for lithium-oxygen batteries, not solely those relying on ambient oxygen. While the MIT news writeup only refers to other batteries using "lithium-air", the ANL press release refers to it as "a lithium-air battery". [1] [2] So while lithium-oxygen is possibly more correct, both seem to be valid usage.
